Turkey and the Wolf:Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop,Turkey and the Wolf.The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks.The meatloaf is my favorite. Mi Cocina:Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick Martinez With seven sections focused on different regions across the country,Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each.The recipes are lovely,but what I love most are the stories alongside each of them.Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina,Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along. I Am from Here:Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh Bhatt Western India and the Southern U.S.share more culinary(烹饪的) similarities than you’d think,from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes.Here,these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques. 1.Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking? A.Rick Martinez’s. B.Vishwesh Bhatt’s. C.Mason Hereford’s. D.J.Kenji Lopez-Alt’s. 2.Which book is titled after its author’s sandwich shop? A.The Wok. B.Turkey and the Wolf. C.Mi Cocina. D.I Am from Here. 3.What is the similarity between Mi Cocina and I Am from Here? A.They share some stories. B.They feature Indian and American food. C.They stress food’s role in connecting cultures. D.They emphasize the importance of fresh ingredients. B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read?Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭) for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least. “You enter the fare gates(检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says.“And as of right now,we’ve received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit(交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4.Why did BART start the kiosk program? A.To promote the local culture. B.To discourage phone use. C.To meet passengers’ needs. D.To reduce its running costs. 5.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A.By popularity. B.By length. C.By theme. D.By language. 6.What has Trost been doing recently?

B.Its profits will decline. C.It will expand nationwide. D.Its ridership will increase. C When a group of college students put their sorrows into action,they never imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste. But that’s exactly what the Farmlink Project has done since 2020,bringing together hundreds of young volunteers to rescue nearly 77 million pounds of excess food and deliver it to those in need.The organization’s efforts help farmers,the environment,and people struggling to feed their families all at once. “In the United States,40 million Americans don’t have enough food to eat.They don’t know where their next meal is going to come from,” said Aidan Reilly,who co-founded Farmlink.“Meanwhile,in the United States,we’re throwing out over 100 billion pounds of food every year.” Back in 2020,Reilly and his childhood friend James Kanoff were reading and watching news about food shortages,and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that they couldn’t sell,especially with restaurants,schools and hotels closed.Reilly,Kanoff and a core group of friends worked together over Zoom,texted and e-mailed to contact farms coast to coast.“We didn’t really set out to start a non-profit,” Reilly said.“We just thought,there’re so many people suffering if we can figure out one way to help,and then that’ll be great.” In California,they found a farmer who had 13,000 eggs that could be donated,and Reilly offered to do the pickup and delivery himself.That was the first of many more deliveries.With “we’ll come to you” as their catchphrase(标语),the group rented U-Haul trucks and attempted to do all the food pickup and deliveries themselves. “We had a lot of small problems in the beginning,” Reilly said.“We broke axles(车轴),loaded in 40,000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope.But we made it work.” “Farmlink has worked with more than 100 farms and 300 communities in the US,rescuing and moving enough food to distribute more than 64 million meals,” Reilly said. 8.What can we learn about Farmlink Project from the text? A.It was launched by some college students. B.It helps relieve American poverty. C.It cooperated with the farms worldwide. D.It is supported by the government. 9.Why did some farms waste the produce left? A.The produce was of poor quality. B.Nobody came to purchase the produce. C.The farmers refused to sell it at a low price. D.Food shortages were not a problem globally. 10.What difficulty did the students encounter in the beginning? A.They were lacking in experience. B.They overloaded the supply. C.Their truck aids didn’t work. D.The vehicles were inadequate. 11.What is the text mainly about? A.Americans faced a food shortage crisis.
