[湖北天门、潜江、应城2019高一期中联考] A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities: school，baseball practice，homework．And then he starts cooking．"Some nights I'm up until 1 am making pies，or even later if we're cooking beef，" said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida，US．
For the past year，Lanster and Kelly Moran，his classmate，have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster's parents' home．Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them．Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them，until the pair decided to do something nice for charity．"We got some really great Miami Heat tickets，a nice watch，and many kitchen machines，" Lanster said．" But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us．"
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads，a charity (慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighbourhood to cook and make healthy eating choices．The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals．It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster's parents cover their food costs．After their last 12-person event，Lanster and Moran gave $1，600 to the charity．Now，they're taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road．Lanster and Moran have started to organise private dinner parties in a similar way: the host pays for the ingredients(食材)，and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity．

[四川成都双流2018高一月考] Louis Pasteur was born in Dole，France on December 27，1822．His family was poor，and during his early education Pasteur was an ordinary student who enjoyed art and singing．However，when Pasteur was exposed to science as a teenager，he knew he found his career．
In 1848，Pasteur went to college to become a science teacher．He then became a chemistry professor at the University of Strasbourg．He got married in 1849 and had five children．However，three died young from typhoid fever(伤寒)．It was the deaths of his children that drove Pasteur to investigate infectious diseases in order to find a cure．
During Pasteur's time，people believed that bacteria (细菌) appeared due to "spontaneous generation" (自然发生)．They thought that the bacteria just appeared out of nowhere．Pasteur carried out experiments to see if this was true．Through his experiments he proved that bacteria were living things that came from other living things．They didn't just spontaneously appear．This was a major discovery in the study of biology and earned Pasteur the title of Father of Microbiology．
As Pasteur learnt more about bacteria，he began to think they may be the cause of diseases in humans．When the French silk market was threatened by a disease to silkworms (蚕)，Pasteur decided to investigate．He discovered that this disease was caused by bacteria．By killing them from the silkworm farms，he was able to cease the disease and save the French silk business．

长难句分析 He is teaching me a lot about faith and he has taught me a lot about what it means to be strong，even when he feels so weak sometimes．
句式分析：本句为and连接的并列句。第二个分句中what it means to be strong是宾语从句，作about的宾语，when引导时间状语从句。
句意：他教会了我很多关于信仰的东西，也教会了我坚强意味着什么，甚至是在他有时感到很虚弱的时候。
