Whether you want to cook like a professional, or just do something fun for a team- building exercise, New York offers various cooking classes to fit your appetite. Here are four venues（场所） with classes year-round to help release your inner chef.
Mille-Feuille
Students come from all over to study and taste the two specialties— croissant and macaron— in the back of chef Olivier Dessyn's popular Greenwich Village Bakery. Classes accommodate no more than eight students and run 1-1.5 hours, and everyone gets to bring home their finished baked goods and dough to practice more at home.
Don't-miss class: Both!
Abigail's Kitchen
Chef Abigail Hitchcock is a renowned culinary authority who has appeared on shows like Chopped. Most lessons are limited to 10 students and are 3 hours long, though Shop-and-Cook classes, where students visit some of New York's best international markets, are 5 hours.
Don't-miss class: Fresh Pasta is Hitchcock's most popular class, featuring homemade pasta and seasonal sauces.

Clair, a professional cook and former magazine food editor, offers classes （2.5 hours） in two modern, fully stocked kitchen lofts downtown. While kids aged 12-15 can attend with an adult, there are kids-only weekend and holiday classes as well.
Don't-miss class: Six Basic Cooking Techniques, where you' ll learn knife skills, meat cookery and vegetable roasting.
Taste Buds Kitchen
Taste Buds is the leading cooking school for kids by day, but at night it transforms into a space for grown-ups to cook up for fun. Kids’ popular class— Junior Chef— happens after school and on weekends. Most are 2 hours, but look for more in-depth, longer classes for holiday camps.

It's hard to imagine that Mohamed Jihad, a young man from Egypt, could perform a traditional Chinese tongue twister in a fluent way.
When Mohamed was choosing his university major, he initially considered English. But his mother offered different advice:“You've known English since young. Almost everything is made in China, so choosing Chinese should be very helpful.”
Thanks to his mother's wisdom, Mohamed embarked on his journey of learning Chinese. He graduated from Ain Shams University in Egypt with a degree in Chinese in 2019, and then pursued his master's degree in broadcasting and anchoring （主持） from the Communication University of China.
When Mohamed first began his study in China, he felt confused—— what is the lower abdomen（dantian） How does one sink qi to dantian He practiced opening his voice and reciting tongue twisters. Soon, his classmates were astonished to find he had become the best Chinese speaker in the class.
After graduation, Mohamed became a foreign expert at the China International Communication Group, focusing on the spread of Chinese culture. After learning the operating model of shared bikes in China, Mohamed shared his thoughts on how Egypt could emulate this on his Facebook account, tagging EMOT （Egyptian Minister of Transport）. Two days later, he saw the official account of EMOT reposting his thoughts, commenting, “Great idea, looking forward to implementation.” A year later, Egypt's capital began carrying out the“Cairo Bike” sharing project as a pilot for addressing traffic congestion issues.
In July 2023, when Mohamed graduated from the Communication University, he wore Egyptian pharaoh clothing to receive his certificate on stage. The photo of him wearing the pharaoh clothing soon went viral. Many Chinese began to learn about Egypt and the pharaoh clothing. This gave Mohamed the chance to tell Egyptian stories to Chinese audiences and he subsequently changed the name of his Chinese social media account to the“Egyptian Pharaoh”.
Mohamed is still working to build a bridge that allows Egyptians to better understand China. “If I can be this bridge, it would be a great honor.” said Mohamed.
24. Why did Mohamed begin his journey of learning Chinese
A. Because of his interest in traditional Chinese culture.
B. Due to his mother's belief that Chinese is beneficial.
C. On account of the requirement for his master's degree.
D. Owing to his desire to perform Chinese tongue twisters.
25. How did Mohamed improve his Chinese
A. Through voice practice and tongue twisters.
B. By spending time with Egyptian classmates.
C. Through communication with Chinese peers.
D. By distinguishing the lower abdomen from qi.
26. What does the underlined word“emulate” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Criticize. B. Ignore. C. Praise. D. Copy.
27. Which would be the best title for the text
A. Cairo Bike: A Successful Egyptian Project
B. Tongue Twister: An Egyptian's Path to Fluency
C. Egyptian Pharaoh: Spreading Egyptian Culture to the World
D. Mohamed Jihad: Building Bridges Between China and Egypt
C
Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden only to find your well-cared- for plants withered and dying Was the soil too dry Did pests find their way in During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world.
Next year, at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an“intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden's environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like“I need a bit more water,” or“I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways AI technologies could be used to enhance sustainability efforts.
The Intelligent garden will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model. The model, powered by Microsoft's Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on feeding, watering, or trimming.
Onsite plant caretakers aren't the only ones who can interact with the garden. Visitors to the show can also walk up to virtual platforms and ask the intelligent garden questions about its current environmental state. The AI language module will then interpret the data and respond to the visitors in a conversational dialogue.
In theory, insights provided by models like this could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can ai d in sustainability efforts. Those tools could bring convenience to casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It's unclear, however, whether even the best models can provide the same level of care as experienced gardeners.
28. What's the possible effect of the intelligent garden project
A. It' ll increase the profits for gardening industry.
B. It' ll replace human gardeners with AI technology.
C. It' ll promote sustainable development of gardening.
D. It' ll create an attraction at the Chelsea Flower Show.
29. How does the intelligent garden know what plants need
A. Via dialogues with gardeners.
B. Through computers in the garden.
C. By analyzing data from the sensors.
D. By examining plants for signs of pests.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The AI model will be widely used.
B. The AI model helps save resources.
C. The AI model can forecast the weather.
D. The AI model makes gardeners unnecessary.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Future gardens will be controlled by AI.
B. The Chelsea Flower Show amazes audience.
C. The intelligent garden is embraced by gardeners.
D. AI technology helps to make gardens sustainable.
D
The abdominal cerebrum theory（肠脑理论） is a concept that suggests the gut （肠） has a complex network of neurons capable of independent action and decision-making, which is called the“second brain”. This theory stresses the importance of the enteric （肠道的） nervous system （ENS）, which is responsible for controlling digestion, but recent research suggests it may play a larger role in overall health and well-being.
The ENS consists of over 100 million neurons. These neurons communicate with each other and with the central nervous system （CNS）, allowing for both local reflexes and coordination with the CNS.
One of the most convincing aspects of the abdominal cerebrum theory is the ENS's ability to function autonomously. While it receives input from the CNS, it can operate independently, regulating processes such as blood flow and gut movement. This nature demonstrates its resemblance to a“second brain”.
The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication network linking the ENS and the CNS. This interaction goes beyond mere signaling; it involves neurotransmitters like serotonin（90% of which is produced in the gut） and dopamine. These chemicals influence mood, anxiety, and even cognition, suggesting that gut health directly impacts mental health.
Emerging research indicates that conditions like tiredness, and even depression and anxiety are linked to an imbalance in the gut microbiota （肠道菌群）. The ENS also plays a crucial role in diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
Despite its appeal, the abdominal cerebrum theory faces several criticisms. Some argue that while the theory acknowledges the ENS is complex, labeling it as a“second brain” may oversimplify or mislead. Others point out that more research is needed to fully understand its precise role in various health conditions.
Moreover, translating basic research into clinical applications remains challenging. The interplay between genetics, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences complicates efforts to develop targeted therapies based on the theory.
32. Why is the gut often called the“second brain”
A. Because it contains millions of neurons.
B. Because it can function independently.
C. Because it controls all body functions.
D. Because it impacts overall well-being.
33. Which of the following is among the functions of the ENS
A. Controlling the operation of the CNS.
B. Disturbing the performance of the CNS.
C. Regulating digestion and gut movement.
D. Coordinating blood flow and muscle movement.
34. According to paragraph 4, what can be learnt about neurotransmitters
A. They are mostly produced in the brain.
B. They impact both mood and cognition.
C. They are not important for gut health.
D. They only affect our physical health.
35. Why is the theory criticized
A. Because it has no prospects of clinic applications.
B. Because it denies the complexity of the ENS.
C. Because it may cause misunderstanding.
D. Because it hasn't been studied so far.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Conversations are like two-way streets: we take turns speaking and listening. While we often focus on what we say, there's something profoundly positive in the act of listening. 36 But here's where it gets tricky: being a good listener isn't easy. It can be emotionally draining, especially in tough conversations.
My colleagues and I recently explored the downsides of listening in a study with school teachers. We asked the teachers how much effort they put into listening to their students. And we found that the more effort teachers put into listening, the more they reported feeling burned out. Why does this happen For teachers, listening isn't just about hearing words. 37 This can be incredibly draining, especially when teachers feel responsible for solving problems they may not have the resources or time to address.
This isn't just a problem for teachers, it affects all of us. Whether we're parents, partners, friends, or colleagues, we all find ourselves in situations where we have to listen to others’ worries and stresses. And without realizing it, we absorb that emotional weight. 38 In a world where we' re constantly connected, we need to be aware of the emotional costs of listening.
39 First, focus on listening without planning your response. This keeps you present and allows the speaker to feel truly heard. Second, understand that sometimes listening is enough; don't feel you have to fix the problem. 40 Finally, don't always feel like you have to reflect. When someone is sharing a deeply negative experience, like the loss of loved ones, reflecting those emotions back to them may only deepen their pain.
Ultimately, while listening is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection, it's important to know when to fully engage and when to take a step back to protect our own well- being.
A. So, how can we listen without burning out
B. How can we fix their problems while listening
C. Often, listening, even without taking action, is healing.
D. Over time, this emotional burden can wear us down, leading to burnout.
E. It involves absorbing their students’ emotional challenges and struggles.
F. As is often the case, attentive listening brings unintended bad consequences.
G. It can build trust, strengthen bonds, and expand our understanding of the world.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, I came up with a rule: we would say yes to everything. You see, Leopold is a picky eater— he lives on chicken nuggets and yogurt— and can be hesitant to try new things.
I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting to worn-out saying like“If you don't try it, you' ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, including food and experiences— especially new ones.
We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight, when we stopped at a breakfast buffet at the airport. For me, that meant I sampled a vegan meatball, while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns he said looked“funny”.
After we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his skiing instructor. While he was doing his skiing practice, I skied by myself. On the first day, I played it safe and stuck to the long and winding easy green run. On the second day, I challenged myself to ski an intermediate blue run. There was a part steeper than I had thought, but I did my slow, diligentS-turns and I made it down in one piece.
Leopold had taken a few lessons back at home in Connecticut but had never had the opportunity to ski on a mountain of this size. My hope was that he would make the most of this opportunity. So I encouraged him to ride a chairlift（吊椅式缆车） to the top and then ski down. Leopold's anxiety was evident as we stood at the base of the mountain. His eyes widened at the sight of the chairlift, and he clutched my hand tightly.

第二节范文:
"I don't want to do this, Mom." he whispered, his voice trembling. I knelt down to meet his gaze and said gently, "Leopold, we're here to say yes." I saw a flicker of determination in his eyes as he nodded yes. He inched towards the chairlift, white-knuckled during the whole ride, but he didn't look back. He reached the top and prepared to descend, my heart in my throat. The first few moments were shaky, but with each turn, Leopold grew more confident. The sun cast long shadows across the snow, highlighting his progress as he navigated the slope. The once shaky turns evolved into a graceful ballet with the mountain.
Leopold returned from his skiing adventure, flushing with excitement. "I did it, Mom!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with pride. As he recounted the exciting plunge down the slope and the refreshing chilly wind against the cheeks, his voice was filled with a newfound confidence. I squeezed his hand, showing I was so proud of him. Leopold looked up at me, his eyes mirroring the vast expanse of the sky above. I wrapped him in a warm embrace, our laughter mingling in the frosty air, a visible symbol of shared triumph. The snowcapped mountains, with its awe-inspiring elegance, stood as a silent testament to the power of saying yes to life's challenges.

But as I was about to start cooking, I realized that the pizza stone I wanted to cook my pizza on was in the back of my mom's car, and she'd gone home!（15）Anyway, the oven did the job just as well. However, it was tense watching the judges taste the food. Their faces completely lacked expression so I had no idea whether they liked it or not.（16）But they loved my dish and I won!
M: Congratulations!

W: This is Ellen Coyle with Talk About the News. In today's world, some might argue that it doesn't really matter where you live. That's not true, according to Richard Florida.
In his book Who's Your City （17）Richard Florida says the decision about where to live may be the most important one you make. Richard thinks that people tend to gather in certain cities according to the work they do and even the type of personalities they have.（18）Some cities, such as Boston, lead the way in technology and innovation. New York and London are financial centers. Cities like Los Angeles make quality films.（19）Others like Guadalajara are known mainly for producing various products. Why are some cities centers of creativity while others are more likely to focus on producing things Richard uses recent research to suggest that personality may play a role.
Cities like Boston are home to people who are open to experience. They like high levels of activity and new ideas.（20）Most technology companies are in or near these centers of creativity. In cities like Guadalajara, residents are both hard-working and agreeable. They tend to follow rules and work well on teams, qualities that are important in manufacturing.
