My name is Li Hua. I’m writing to apply to be a volunteer for the Chinese and foreign students’ exchange activity themed “tea-culture” (过去分词短语作定语).
During my time serving as a language assistant at an international organization (v.-ing作定语), I was lucky to gain valuable experience. This role not only boosted my confidence in English communication but also sharpened my teamwork and problem-solving skills (not only…but also连接句子). Moreover, as an tea enthusiast, I have extensive knowledge of tea, ranging from its varieties to brewing techniques (v.-ing短语作定语). This background makes me well-prepared to be an effective volunteer for this event.
I would be truly thankful if you could offer me the chance to contribute to this cultural bridge (条件状语从句). Thanks for your consideration.

Today, the concept of “simple and seasonal” seems to be everywhere. Even McDonald’s tries to convince us it’s on board. But Alice Waters who has changed the face of American dining was saying it about 50 years ago, when Chez Panisse first opened in Berkeley.
Growing up in New Jersey, she went to the University of California, Berkeley, only because her closest friends were going, and she didn’t have a clear aim. But living in France for a year changed everything. Waters fell in love with good food and the care people took over its sourcing and cooking. “I took my slow food values—everyone should have access to good food, and growers are properly valued—from 1960s France,” she says.
Back in California, all Waters wanted to do was cook. The dream of opening a restaurant began to take shape. When Chez Panisse eventually opened, with dinner cooked and served by a team with no training, it was a nightmare. Guests waited ages for their food. “A clown show” is how one chef described it. But Waters continued on undeterred (毫不气馁).
Since 1971, Chez Panisse’s was seldom expanded. Waters has always resisted making it bigger since that might weaken the Chez Panisse brand. Her Edible Schoolyard Project, however, has been intentionally spread out.
The project started when Waters turned a concrete wasteland at a Berkeley school into a garden for teaching about food. Today, over 2,000 schools worldwide are following Waters’ original model.
The schoolyard represents everything Alice Waters stands for and acts as a cornerstone, promoting both educational and personal growth. The food here is grown slowly and naturally by hand. It sparks ideas about social responsibility, ecology, science, maths, language and history.
Waters continues to fight for slow food values in a fast-food culture. She is also a “counter-culture cook” who wants everyone to have access to good food, and not just because it tastes better. “The food we eat,” she says, “teaches us the values that we live by.”

Diets come and diets go. One of the most popular today is “intermittent fasting” in which, as the name suggests, the idea is to limit one’s food intake to certain time windows. One popular variant, the “5-2 diet”, requires people to eat either very small amounts, or nothing at all, on two days a week, but places no restrictions on the other five.
As a weight-loss strategy, intermittent fasting has several things going for it. One is that it is uncomplicated. There is no need to weigh the ingredients of every meal, as some diets demand, nor to change what you eat completely. Limiting the restrictions to a couple of days a week, or several hours a day also requires less willpower, which might make it easier to stick with.
Working out whether that actually translates into greater weight loss than other diets is difficult. Most studies find limited data and mixed results. The general conclusion, says dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine, is that intermittent fasting seems to work roughly as well for weight loss as traditional calorie-counting does.
Intermittent fasting may offer other health benefits. Animal studies suggest that fasting can extend lifetime by up to 40%, slow aging, and improve metabolic (新陈代谢) health. Whether similar effects occur in humans is uncertain. While there may be potential benefits, human trials are not workable. “When we say calorie restriction, we mean nearly starving the animals,” notes Adam Collins, a nutrition researcher at the University of Surrey.
That leaves scientists reliant, for now, on smallish, short-lived studies. Dr Collins’ team, for instance, has published a randomised-control trial suggesting that intermittent fasting improves the metabolism of fats more than ordinary dieting does. A review paper published in April 2024 looked at 23 other studies and concluded that intermittent fasting was slightly better than ordinary dieting for overweight people when it came to improving levels of cholesterol (胆固醇) and insulin (胰岛素).
There are also risks. A study in mice published in Nature in October 2024 found that severe fasting had downsides, including muscle mass loss and, possibly, weakened immune systems. Moderation, too, should be taken in moderation.
( )5.What is a feature of the“5-2 diet” in intermittent fasting?
A.It needs continuous calorie-counting.
B.It restricts food intake for five days monthly.
C.It demands strict food weighing on weekends.
D.It allows normal eating on most days of the week.
( )6.Why is intermittent fasting gaining popularity?
A.It combines with regular exercise.
B.It needs little willpower.
C.It requires no complex meal plans.
D.It promises rapid weight loss.
( )7.What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 5?
A.To present scientific evidence.
B.To provide identical assumptions.
C.To add background information.
D.To compare contradictory studies.
( )8.What is the author’s attitude towards intermittent fasting?
A.Critical. B.Positive.
C.Cautious. D.Doubtful.

What is moderation(适度)? Basically,it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. 1. But it doesn’t mean saying goodbye to the foods you love.
Take your time. It’s important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. 2. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. 3.
Control emotional(情绪的) eating. 4. Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.
5. A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢),while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. Avoid eating late at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
A.Eat properly throughout the day.
B.We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger.
C.Don’t swallow a meal on the way to work.
D.Most of us need to double the amount we eat.
E.Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices.
F.For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now.
G.That won’t lead to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan.
