2026届高考英语一轮复习阅读理解练习：Teen chefs make a difference in Santa Cruz 阅读原文+导学案

Teen chefs make a difference in Santa Cruz Sixteen-year-old Lily Cabrera had a big job to do. Five weeks into her summer internship at Teen Kitchen Project in Soquel, California, the Santa Cruz High School student was chopping and preparing 42 pounds of broccoli. About 12 other teens were doing similar tasks in a spotless kitchen, preparing fresh, nutritious meals for Santa Cruz County residents who are either too ill to leave their homes or recovering from a recent surgery. “I think the idea of volunteering to help people is very cool,” said Cabrera, who will be a senior this fall. “I just like it, and it’s helping me think of career options.” For 13 years, the Teen Kitchen Project has hosted teen interns to help prepare meals for 325 clients a week. The organization has been sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, which provides high-quality, affordable healthcare services for its members. “We’re proud to support the Teen Kitchen Project and its work to improve health in Santa Cruz,” said Eric Henry from Kaiser Permanente. “We know that nourishing food is especially important for people with chronic illnesses, and we’re pleased that our funding also provides young people with culinary education and training that they’ll have for a lifetime.” Kitchen Manager Alexis Keith said she loves seeing the junior chefs learn and shine, adding that in addition to bringing clients food, the drivers’ interaction with them serves as a welfare check because they may not have seen another human being all week. Founder and Executive Director Angela Farley started the program when her 3-year-old son, now 17, got a rare disease. Shopping for and preparing nutritious food while taking care of a sick kid was nearly impossible. A former teacher, she decided to help others who are in the same situation. “For our clients, we’re taking one thing off their backs during a stressful time. And meanwhile we’re giving teens a practical way to change the future,” she said. Teen Kitchen Project clients are referred to the organization by local physicians, said Farley, and the number is increasing. “I really enjoy doing this,” said Farley. “Sometimes I go out and meet the clients in person and when I talk to them, I hear the gratitude in their voices. They sometimes say they feel the love in the food, and that is really energizing.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Teen chefs make a difference in santa cruse.
