It’s like a fun classroom where you can learn different subjects all at once! 6 Science is everywhere in cooking. When you make bread, the yeast (酵母) eats sugar and makes bubbles of gas. 7 When you cook meat and it turns brown and smells good, that’s cool chemistry. Also, think about heating water, which shows how heat moves. It is all about physics. 8 You need to follow the instructions when you mix materials, like “adding 1/4 spoon of salt”. Sometimes you have to make some changes to feed more or fewer people. That means doing math. Even buying the required materials with low cost teaches you math. Food has a lot of history. Pasta didn’t start in Italy—it came from Asia long ago! Spices (香料) were once traded like gold, and this changed how countries talked to each other. 9 In hot places, people grow more different foods than in cold places. Learning about these things helps you understand how the world works. Cooking is like a secret key that opens the door to learning many subjects.

I went to bed with the hall light on and the door slightly open.

One of the signs is an owl, and this book has a beautiful watercolor owl on the cover. 33 I began to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still preferred to meet it with a safety cordon (防护线) of light.

In a box of about one and a half by two feet, they were free to organize—soil, stones, leaves and grass. Even as an active garden designer, I was impressed with their imagination. 80     One child created “water” that flowed into a “lake”; another child put grass in a way to represent “wind”; and yet another child tried hard to create shade... 81 That was why they took great interest when they created their small gardens.

When he became sick in college, his doctor asked him to go out more often for sunlight, exercise and fresh air. 84 A birdwatcher needs to know a lot and be brave and strong.

Passage 20（2023·江苏常州·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. 94 I never believed he could make it. About ten years later, however, I was surprised to see the man on TV, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers. His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves.” It describes how people picture their future life: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become. 95 What you imagine can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try. First of all, just take action. If you’re dreaming of a certain job, attend a course, follow someone who does what you want to do and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal (目标). A study of adults aged between 23 and 72 found that more than 70 percent of those who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals, twice the percentage of those who didn’t share written goals. So secondly, when you have a goal, share it. 96 That finding held true for all goals. Finally, try looking toward people you know only by chance for advice, or those with whom you haven’t spoken in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your larger network are more likely (可能) to help you than those closest to you. 97 A．Ask your best friends to share their goals.

But have you wondered why there is no fried duck? [A] 26 [B] Fried duck is not as cheap as chicken. [C] Fried duck carries bad bacteria (细菌). [D] Fried duck is not as delicious as fried chicken. The right answer is [D].

This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried. A．They also help ducks grow fat. B．Fried duck is difficult to make. C．Moreover, ducks have a special smell.

About ten years later, however, I was surprised to see the man on TV, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers. His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves.” It describes how people picture their future life: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become. 95 What you imagine can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try. First of all, just take action. If you’re dreaming of a certain job, attend a course, follow someone who does what you want to do and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal (目标). A study of adults aged between 23 and 72 found that more than 70 percent of those who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals, twice the percentage of those who didn’t share written goals. So secondly, when you have a goal, share it. 96 That finding held true for all goals. Finally, try looking toward people you know only by chance for advice, or those with whom you haven’t spoken in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your larger network are more likely (可能) to help you than those closest to you. 97 A．Ask your best friends to share their goals. B．A possible self can take you beyond daydreams. C．He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact. D．So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed. E．He always imagined himself as the most successful businessman.
