What do you think of a “talking kitchen”?A French Digital(數(shù)碼)Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn the language by the following cooking steps.

All grammar and ________ have been carefully chosen to make sure the users can understand French well. After learning for some time, the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer.

The kitchen project was started by professor Paul Seedhouse. He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational. ”

How does the kitchen work?There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. Using the information in the computer, the kitchen starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the programme goes back and repeats the recipe or information. At any time, the users can ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.

The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people's homes. The researchers can also be developing the European Digital Kitchen, for the next three years.

As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she met with a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.

“Watch it, dwarf (矮子),” the boy shouted, as he kept away from the little third grader. Then, the boy imitated(模仿) the way Amy limped(跛行)when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes for a moment.

“Ignore (忽視)him!” she told herself as she headed for her classroom.

It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. The teasing made Amy feel lonely.

Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That’s why she was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter.

“There’s a Christmas Wish Competition on the newspaper,” she said. “Write a letter to Santa Claus and you might win a prize.”

Out came the pencil and paper and Amy went to work on her letter. She wrote:

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Amy. I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy(大腦性癱瘓). I just want one day where no one laughs at me.

Love,

Amy

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa Claus made the front page of the News Sentinel. The little girl’s story spread quickly. She asked for such a simple, yet unusual Christmas gift - just one day without teasing.

Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high.

Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.

語(yǔ)篇翻譯 閱讀下面的短文,將劃線部分譯成英文或中文。

Almost every Chinese remembers the two sentences of the famous poem(詩(shī) ). 65. “Every grain() on the plate comes from hard work”. But sadly, many of us don’t get the real meaning of these sentences: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people waste every year is enough for 200 million(百萬(wàn)) people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, 66. there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous (慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food on the table.

67.幸運(yùn)的是,很多人明白節(jié)約食物的重要性。Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, lost her job because she took some leftover (剩余的) food home for her son.

68.Many people agreed with her and said that it was not right to waste food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here is some advice:

1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. 69.如果你不能吃 完所有食物,把剩余的食物帶回家。

2.Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.

3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, such as vegetables and fruit.
