It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park. After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.

Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.

Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy? Your   Grandpa loved spicy things.”

“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,”   Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.

It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook?”

“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.

It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.

Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”

“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad?” Mum asked.

“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.

But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.

3 . Many people say they don’t like the taste of most vegetables. The good news is there are many ways to prepare vegetables that are not only healthy but delicious as well.

    1     Take the time to talk to the local growers and find out which vegetables are in season. You’ll get the best flavor from foods that are grown locally and picked fresh. If there is no farmers’ market in your area, talk to the grocery (食品杂货店) produce managers. They will more than likely be happy to share buying tips and preparation ideas that can make vegetables taste much better.     2    

If you’re convinced (确信) you can’t stand the taste of vegetables, chances are they just need some extra flavor — seasonings (调味品). Think about the foods that you actually do enjoy.     3     You can often use those same seasonings to make vegetables taste better.

You maybe say you still can’t accept the taste of vegetables.     4     For example, make pizza crust (饼皮) out of cauliflower (花椰菜), which many people find still delicious even if it’s not close to the real thing. And then top your pizza with your favorite sauce, cheese, and meat.     5     You can also add vegetables to your favorite sweet fruit juice recipe. For example, when carrots are added to strawberry juice, they add sweetness and color.

A．You’ll forget you’re also eating vegetables.

B．What seasonings are used to prepare them?

C．Start by visiting your local farmers’ market.

D．If so, try hiding them in some of your favorite foods.

E．Make sure you always have fresh vegetables on hand.

F．Why not wash your vegetables with water before preparing them?

G．Many grocery stores also provide recipe cards with new ideas for cooking.

5 . It was a snowy day during the spring break when I walked into a great restaurant. In this blizzard weather, it was the only restaurant that remained open.

The restaurant has a long history in Hong Kong. Its owners, the couple, Peter and Michelle, have been running the restaurant since 2007.

“Things have changed a lot in the past 30 years,” Peter said. “Chinese students 20 years ago thought that a 70-cent bowl of rice was too expensive, but now a $20 meal is acceptable”. He also said that the new generation of Chinese students engaged with other students, bringing all their non-Chinese friends to visit the restaurant.

Peter takes great pride in his own cooking. He was curious about how the food was made and why particular foods or sauces had specific tastes. He chose to serve mainly Guangdong and Sichuan food at the restaurant, featuring the family-style Chinese dim sum or hot pot.

When I asked whether he would modify the taste of the dishes to suit the taste of most Americans, Peter said, “We are not like those American Chinese restaurants. We provide the genuine Chinese taste to our customers, and they will love it because it is delicious, and their taste will suit the taste of our dishes, not the other way around.”

“If I hear complaints from my customers, I will be so upset that I can’t fall asleep at night”, he said. “Luckily most of my favorite dishes received wide acclaim from my customers and it takes more than one person’s effort.”

He compares himself with the craftsmen in China who are proud of preserving ancient Chinese art and whose motivation is only on people’s enjoyment of their work and thought.

Such a spirit of craftsmanship has been remarkable and greatly valued in the past. The craftsman’s spirit with perfection, precision, concentration, and patience remains in Peter and his cooking.

1. How long have the couple been running the restaurant?

A．16 years

B．20 years

C．30 years

D．70 years

2. Why is the restaurant different from other American Chinese restaurants?

A．Its customers are mainly Chinese.

B．It sticks to its original taste of the dishes.

C．It adjusts the taste according to the customers.

D．Its menu merely contains Guangdong and Sichuan food.

3. Which words can best describe Peter?

A．Generous and patient.	B．Ambitious and economical.
C．Thoughtful and humorous.	D．Precise and devoted.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A．He believes that cooking just needs one person’s effort.

B．He shows an interest in preserving ancient Chinese art.

C．He takes pride in cooking the best typical Chinese cuisine.

D．He cares about the taste of the dishes rather than customers’ complaints.

6 . Maybe you grew up eating food made by your grandmothers, mouth-watering dishes that bring back sweet, unforgettable memories. Perhaps it was Italian noodles or even Chinese dumplings. Now, at Enoteca Maria, a unique restaurant in New York City, you can eat the dishes same to your grandmother’s cooking.

When Joe Scaravella opened his restaurant, he named it after his mother. Then, in order to remember his grandmother, Joe invited local grandmothers to cook Italian dishes in his kitchen. “I wanted to try to recreate that: the grandma cooking in the kitchen”, he said.

Enoteca Maria is an Italian restaurant where half of the menu changes daily. The fixed half is Italian; the changeable half includes cuisines from all over the world. And what makes the restaurant unique is not professional chefs calling the shots in the kitchen, but grandmothers! Each night, a grandmother from a different country designs a fresh menu, honoring her native cuisine and the food she loves best. Currently, the restaurant is only open three days a week: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Although it’s usually packed, the grandmothers arrange everything orderly.

When the restaurant first opened, several local Italian grandmothers from different Italian regions would cook their own special dishes on a regular schedule, sometimes launching friendly competitions of whose dish was better. When people from different cultures visited the restaurant to get a taste of original Italy, Scaravella decided to extend the competition to include women from across the globe, to make sense to celebrate every culture, and thus, in 2015, the “Grandmothers of the World” initiative was born.

Now, business is running at full speed with around 30 grandmothers from different nationalities cooking in the kitchen.

1. What inspired Scaravella to invite grandmothers to cook in the restaurant?

A．The interest in cooking.	B．The love for his mother.
C．The desire to recreate Italian dishes.	D．The wish to honor his grandmother.

3. Why did Scaravella start the competition across the world?

8 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The Birthday Cake

Josie was a girl who loved to bake. She always helped her uncle at his bakery. Mostly she carried ingredients from the refrigerator to the large work table. Sometimes Uncle Dave let Josie stir (搅拌) the cake batter (面糊) with a wooden spoon.

Josie wanted to learn to bake a cake on her own. She asked if Uncle Dave would show her how Her mother’s birthday was only two days away. If Josie made a cake all by herself, it would be a wonderful surprise.

On Saturday morning, Josie arrived at the bakery just as it was closing. The bakery always closed early on the weekend so Uncle Dave could walk his dogs. “Ready, Josie?” Uncle Dave asked “Ready!” Josie answered.

First, Uncle Dave had Josie get all the ingredients (原料) and line them up on the work table. Then he showed her how to measure flour and sugar so that she had the exact right amount. She added these ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Next, Uncle Dave tapped an egg on the side of the bowl to crack it. “Be careful not to get any bits of shell in the bowl,” he said.

Josie tapped her egg very gently on the bowl. It didn’t crack. She tried again, and this time the shell came apart. She pulled the egg apart over the bowl and watched the yellow egg yolk drop into the flour.

Now it was time to stir. “This is fun!” said Josie.

When the batter was ready, Uncle Dave helped Josie pour it into the cake pan. He gave Josie oven mitts (烤箱手套) and showed her how to put the pan in the oven without burning her hands.

9 . It’s funny—as a writer, it’s easy to share your knowledge, or your personal stories with an unknown listener of many. You think your friends and family may not read your articles. But as I began to talk more openly about Chinese traditions and food, I learned that they were interested, curious and really hungered for it. Their interest and curiosity grew and the culmination of their interest and curiosity was this past Spring Festival. They would like to spend the Spring Festival with me. It was an inconvenient Monday. I’d never had the Spring Festival when anyone but my father cooked.

I took the day off work in a madness of last-minute preparation. I drove 45 minutes out of town to a Cantonese BBQ shop where I bought a whole roast duck (烤鸭) and watched, fascinated, as it was changed into bite sizes. I shopped at a faraway international market like madwoman, looking for Chinese vegetables and other foods that would be new for my guests I called my dad, asking for six-second pointers on how to make dishes I’d never made. I texted him pictures of the sea fish I picked out, and the red clothing they threw on for luck.

In just a few hours, I cooked a dinner of 15 dishes for six friends who cared enough about me and my culture to come over on a cold winter Monday night to celebrate my tradition with me. We drank, ate and toasted the beautiful night. And that night, I felt what it was to be loved for my culture as well as our food.
