and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from
prosperous and the rate of employment is de- creasing.
Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using" honest high-street products" and
avoid expensive or "fancy" ingredients (材料).
The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an
18-course banquet at a Japa nese summit to discuss world food shortages.
Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Ange la Merkel of Germany and other leaders will
be served by appren tices (学徒) from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people
in poverty in order to make a living by mas tering a skill.
Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an
agreement to lift the world out of recession." To be invited to cook for such an important group of peoplc,
who are trying to solve some of the world"s major prob lems,is really a privilege," said Oliver.
"I"m hoping the menu I"m working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world,
but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young
people a skill to be proud of."
The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamies
Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew (啤酒炖菜) and "im pressive" chocolate
fudge cake.
B. opposition
C. discussion

colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very
young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice
experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it,
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else"s opinions,their lives a mimicry, their passions
a quota tion."
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a
drug-we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the ap proval (赞
同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug
addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence
to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom
to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda,
and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they"re more interested in themselves than in you.
Further more, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has
a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please
everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there"s only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring
what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed from the
outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the
changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy
life.
B. most people have a variety of thoughts
C. other people"s thoughts are more important
D. most people"s thoughts are controlled by others
B. We may lose ourselves to please others.
C. We need to pay for what we want to get.
D. The price of taking the drug is freedom.
B. we shouldn"t care what others think
C. we shouldn"t change our own opinions
D. it"s important to accept others" opinions

way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again!
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route.
B. use walls, streams and streets to guide yourself.
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs.
D. count the number of landmarks that you see.
books for you to read:
My favorite book is Don"t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first
one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favorite. It doesn"t end like other books, and I cried while reading.
I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective (侦探) who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because
it"s a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share the fun with her!
I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Barbara Park. It is funny so please add it on your book list. You
don"t want to miss out funny stories!
I would suggest ______ by Judy Blume. It is based on real things that happened to Judy Blume. It is about
a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state. They become friends, make a club and meet once a week.
They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every
girl should read this because it is about our growing up.
I read a book called Neela: Victory Song and it was so good I read it twice! It takes place in India in 1936
and this 12-year-old girl named Neela tries to save her father! It has lots of history in it! I also learned a lot
about different cultures! The author"s name is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to
animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won"t carry diseases. They have special animal
food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two
hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit people"s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud
of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are
welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any
animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished.
If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as
close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel
lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
