19、r of Chez Panisse, the California restaurant famous for launching the farm-to-table movement, certainly didnt plan to start a revolution.Returning to the United States in 1965 after studying in France, Waters missed the delicious food and community of the little cafes where she spent most of her tim

20、e. “The United States was a land of frozen food, so eating even just fresh bread and jam was an extremely pleasant surprise to me,” says Waters. “And spending time in restaurants with friends it was very important to me.”One day, an idea struck Waters that maybe her cooking and sense of community co

21、uld help her make some money. Believing they could do anything, she and a group of friends raised money, found a house in Berkeley and opened a little restaurant called Chez Panisse in 1971.Most ingredients Waters could find were from industrial farms. They tasted totally different from the ones her

22、 parents planted during World War II and the ones she had enjoyed in France. Thus she began a search for suppliers who would grow good ingredients.“I was looking for taste. And I couldnt find taste until I met the local organic farmers who were growing vegetables for flavor,” Waters recalls. “I real

23、ized that I would be dependent on them for the success of my restaurant.”At first, the finances were a disaster. If any of the ingredients didnt taste right, chefs threw them out. Staff had to taste the wine to sell it. That meant thousands of dollars of wine disappeared on a regular basis. People w

24、ho offered ingredients were given meals in trade.But Chez Panisse had lines out of the front door from the very first night. Waters sense of taste and her dedication to making the best food possible kept people coming back. It didnt take long for Chez Panisse to catch the attention of foodies (“吃货”)

25、. Throughout its existence, the restaurant has earned the highest praise of many critics. It has sometimes been called the best restaurant in America.- 7 -Now 72, Waters is not content with staying at home and cooking in her kitchen. Last September, she flew to Washington D. C., to meet members of C

26、ongress to discuss the benefits of free lunch for all schoolchildren.Many people have called Waters unrealistic over the course of her 45-year fight for good food. Nevertheless, her single-mindedness ended up sparking a farm-to-table movement. “She didnt start Chez Panisse to change the world,” said

27、 Marion Nestle, a New York University nutrition professor. “But what she did was absolutely revolutionary. Shes a force and deserves every bit of recognition that comes her way.”24. Alice Waters started Chez Panisse in order to . .A. launch a farm-to-table revolutionB. support the local organic farm

28、ersC. allow all schoolchildren in the United States to have free lunchD. bring Frances style of cooking and sense of community to her home country25. In the early days of Chez Panisse, finances were a big problem because . .A. organic vegetables were very expensiveB. the housing rent in Berkeley was

29、 very highC. some customers refused to pay for their meals.D. Waters put huge emphasis on good food and ingredients26.

31、ffling behavior of teenagers as the product of a brain that is somehow compromised. Groundbreaking research in the past 10 years, however, shows that this view is wrong. The teen brain is not defective. It is not a half-baked adult brain, either. It has been forged by evolution to function different

32、ly from that of a child or an adult.The most important of the teen brains features is its ability to change in response to the environment by modifying the communication networks that connect brain regions. It allows teenagers to make enormous progress in thinking and socialization. But the change a

33、lso makes them sensitive to dangerous behavior and serious mental disorders.The most recent studies indicate that the riskiest behaviors arise from a mismatch between the maturation of networks in the limbic system(边缘系统), which drives emotions at adolescence, and the maturation of networks in the pr

34、efrontal cortex（前额皮质）, which occurs later and promotes sound judgment and the control of impulses. Indeed, we now know that ones prefrontal cortex continues to change noticeably until his 20s. And yet adolescence seems to be starting earlier, extending the “mismatch years.”The plasticity of networks

35、 linking brain regionsand not the growth of those regions, as previously thoughtis key to eventually behaving like an adult. Understanding that, and knowing that a widening gap between the development of emotional and judgment networks is happening in young people today, can help parents, teachers,

36、counselors and teenagers themselves. People will better see that behavior such as risk-taking and turning away from parents and toward peers are not signs of cognitive or emotional problems. They are a natural result of brain development, a normal part of adolescents learning how to negotiate with a

37、 complex world.The same understanding can also help adults decide when to intervene. A 15- 9 -year-old girls departure from her parents tastes in clothing, music or politics may be a source of anxiety for Mom and Dad but does not indicate mental illness. A 16-year-old boys tendency to skateboard wit

38、hout a helmet or to accept risky dares from friends is not unimportant but is more likely a sign of short-range thinking and peer pressure than a desire to hurt himself. Knowing more about the unique teen brain will help all of us learn how to separate unusual behavior that is age-appropriate from t

39、hat which might indicate illness. Such awareness could help society reduce the rates of teen addiction, motor vehicle accidents and depression. 28.

40、angeability of teens brains?A. It is a double-edged sword.B. It is predictable and avoidable.C. It results from serious functional disorders.D. It is related to their brain development in the childhood.30. The limbic system and the prefrontal cortex are mentioned in paragraph 3 to .A. show the diffe

What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The significance of the new discovery.B. The important

42、role adults in teenagers development.C. Possible cognitive and emotional problems of teenagers.D. Long-term prospects for the research of teenagers brains.- 10 -D DA cab company in one of Japans major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea

43、 in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” across the city. The cars look like any ordinary taxi，but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent fleet. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger en

44、ters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can indulge in conversation, only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations. Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said: “This service is currently in a tr

45、ial stage, with the goal of creating an in-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengers through limiting the drivers speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers.Th

46、e company will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers.Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a mini

47、cab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam following Ubers failed challenge against Transport for London (TfL). The company argued it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lose their licences under the new rule.The companys London head, Tom Elvidge: vowed to challenge the ru
