　　8-year-old Peyton from Pasco County is used to being pushed up in the air by her teammates， but how she can rise to the occasion on her own is what wowed the crowd.

　　“Her coach and I were just crying our eyes out.I just couldn’t believe it.What she’s done is amazing，” her mom said.

　　Professor Veena Sahajwalla， 2022 Australian of the year， has created a solution to our massive trash problem： waste microfactories.These little trash processors （处理器） — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with thermal technology.The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
　　In 2018 she launched the first microfactory， establishing a model of recycling that enables businesses and communities to develop commercial opportunities while addressing local waste problems.A second one began recycling plastics in 2019.Now， her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented Microfactory technology.“The small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy， unlike most large manufacturing plants.The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location， avoiding the long， often international， high-emission journeys between recycling processors and manufacturing plants.With a microfactory， gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials， extract （提取） elements and produce new products，” says Sahajwalla.
　　Traditionally， recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things.Sahajwalla’s invention advances this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different.“The kids don’t look like the parents，” she says.Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”， adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce， reuse， recycle”.
　　Professor Veena Sahajwalla’s programs help to develop innovation and promote cooperation with industry， ensuring that sustainable materials and processes become commercially practical solutions for dealing with waste.
28.What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To introduce a new type of trash processor.
B.To introduce the process of recycling waste.
C.To prove the seriousness of the trash problem.
D.To show the current situation of trash recycling.
29.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？
A.The founding of waste microfactories. B.The influences of waste microfactories.
C.The advantages of waste microfactories. D.The shocking scale of waste microfactories.
30.What does the underlined word “re-form” in Paragraph 3 refer to according to Sahajwalla？
A.Extracting materials from the waste. B.Generating new materials with waste.
C.Updating the whole recycling process. D.Transforming waste into similar products.
31.Where is the text probably taken from？
A.A fiction novel. B.A business report.
C.A science magazine. D.A chemical textbook.

　　When he bought a painting in 1981， art collector George Lester Winward was sure he’d found a real Raphael.The mysterious work had no known artist.Looking into the faces of the two figures （a woman and a baby）， Winward noticed they were extremely similar to those at the center of another painting： the Sistine Madonna， a Renaissance masterpiece completed by Raphael around 1513.
　　Winward believed the same artist was behind both works.But experts thought the painting， now known as the de Brécy Tondo， was more likely a copy of the Sistine Madonna from the 1840s.
　　Shortly before his death in 1997， Winward set up the de Brécy Trust， donating his paintings to the organization to allow researchers to continue rooting out their secrets.Scholars have been studying the de Brécy Tondo ever since.
　　Now， after 40 years of speculation （推测）， researchers have made a breakthrough.Using facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence （AI）， they have concluded that the painting is “highly likely to be a Raphael masterpiece”.
　　Hassan Ugail， an expert on visual computing at the University of Bradford， developed the AI facial recognition system used in the study.The tool is an algorithm （算法） trained on millions of images， and Ugail has been working on it since 2002.It can figure out how similar one face is to another by comparing features and recognizing patterns in much greater detail.If two faces are more than 75 per cent similar， Ugail considers them identical （相同的）.In this case， the tool found that the two women were 97 per cent similar， while the two babies were 86 per cent similar.
　　The AI analysis （分析） is the latest in a series of discoveries made in the decades researchers have been studying the painting.One of these finds came about when Howell Edwards， then an expert on molecular spectroscopy at Bradford， concluded that the work was likely a Renaissance painting， not a later copy.By analyzing paint pigments （颜料）， he found evidence that the work contained certain colours and chemicals that were characteristic of Renaissance art — including massicot， a yellow pigment that wasn’t used after 1700.
　　“Now，” says Edwards， “those findings have been further proved by the facial recognition analysis.”
32.What did experts think about de Brécy Tondo in the 20th century？
A.It was painted around 1513. B.It was created by a known artist.
C.It was copied from another painting. D.It was bought by a mysterious collector.
33.What is mentioned in Paragraph 5？
A.The results of the study. B.The purpose of the study.
C.The limitations of the study. D.The importance of the study.
34.What is Edwards’ attitude towards the latest discovery？
A.Unclear. B.Favorable.
C.Doubtful. D.Carefree.
35.What is the best title for the text？
A.New Research on Raphael’s Paintings B.AI Identifies a Raphael Masterpiece
C.Researchers Train AI to Make Art D.Hidden Secrets in Works of Art

　　An eco-friendly lunch bag is great because it is a game changer.　36　 It is so convenient that， after buying one， you’ll wonder how you ever survived the workday without a handy supply of food stored under your desk.
　　Why do I focus on lunch bags？ Because they’re so beneficial both personally and environmentally.Here is a list of my reasons：
　　·　37　 Depending on where you live， you could save $1，000－$3，000 per year.I had a personal financial crisis a few years ago and I was floored by how much money I saved just by packing a lunch every day.
　　·Buying lunch in single-use items is wasteful.If you buy a small meal and a drink， you could go through many single-use items and a pile of napkins with each meal. 　38　
　　Now such lunch bags have been invented by rü.This company， whose name is short for “re-use”， is based in Vancouver， British Columbia.　39　 And post-consumer plastic waste can be put to good use.Just as impressive as the recycled material is the fact that rü bags are machine washable.Moreover， the bags are lovely to look at and come in a wide range of colours and patterns.
　　The bags also have an impressive 3-gallon capacity.The roll-down top means they can be easily adjusted for size.　40　 Combined with some lightweight sandwich bags， everything can be put in a briefcase or clipped onto a purse at the end of the day.
A.When empty， it can be rolled up easily.
B.So you can buy one that adjusts to your bag.
C.Everyone wants to own a beautiful lunch bag.
D.Bringing lunch to work saves so much money.
E.It creates beautiful lunch bags from recycled materials.
F.It saves money， boosts nutrition and reduces plastic waste.
G.Packing lunch saves thousands of single-use products every year.

　　Yellow and green auto-rickshaws （机动黄包车） are everywhere on New Delhi’s roads.But Mahendra Kumar’s vehicle 　41　 — it has a garden on its roof designed to keep passengers cool during the unbearably hot summer.
　　Kumar， who is in his late forties， has 　42　 over 20 varieties of shrubs， crops and flowers on the 　43　 piece of land at the top of his auto， 　44　 commuters and passers-by who stop to click selfies and photos of the 　45　 “moving garden”.It keeps the vehicle cool 　46　 temperatures are touching 45 ℃ in the Indian capital.
　　He had this 　47　 around two years ago during the hottest time of the summer season.Preparing the roof for planting was simple： Kumar first put on a mat （垫子） 　48　 by a thick sack （麻袋） which he covered with some soil.He then got grass from the roadside and seeds from his friends.
　　“It does not require much 　49　 at all.I just water the plants using a bottle twice a day，” he said.“It is now， like a 　50　 AC （air conditioner）.My passengers are very 　51　 after their ride.”
　　Temperatures last week crossed 45 ℃ in New Delhi.　52　 have killed over 6，500 Indians since 2010.Kumar said he was doing his own small bit for the 　53　.

　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
　　The Chinese painting style called Xieyi means “writing ideas”.Artists often use 　56　 （tradition） Xuan paper along with brushes and ink， and the impressionistic style is designed not to be realistic， 　57　 rather capture （刻画） the spirit of the subject.
　　It would seem odd to let a machine show such a human-oriented artistic style.But that’s 　58　 （exact） what Hong Kong artist Victor Wong has done with a painting robot called AI Gemini.He spent three years programming the industrial-style robot 　59　 （paint） in the Xieyi style.
　　“I treat AI Gemini as a student， 　60　 （coach） it to master simple brushstrokes （笔法） and programming it to develop its own recognizable style rather than copying the work of ink masters，” Wong said.
　　
Because the machine can paint whatever it 　61　 （want）， some of the works are strongly recognizable as landscapes while others look more abstract.While they certainly look more modern， all are identifiable as Xieyi-style works， thanks 　62　 the materials used and the long，freehand brushstrokes 　63　 look like what a human artist would do.Wong emphasized that 　64　 （factor） like temperature and humidity （湿度） can also affect the look of the landscapes.
　　“The landscape does not exist anywhere apart from in Gemini’s ‘mind’ ，” Wong explains.“I didn’t want my AI to copy me； I wanted 　65　 （he） to learn from me.We feed off each other.”

　　Adil gave Asim his present and excitedly asked him to open it up.Asim was happy to see the pizza but when Adil told him that it was all his efforts， the friends laughed out loud and made fun of Adil.Nobody believed Adil had made it！ In fact， they thought it was a girly thing to do as boys didn’t cook！The party seemed more of an embarrassment than fun for Adil.Thankfully Asim realised how uncomfortable his friend was so he quickly changed the topic， “Guys， can we cut the cake now？”
　　The party went well， but for Adil， the fun was over because he couldn’t stop thinking of how his friends had made fun of him for making a pizza！
　　Adil， a 14-year-old， loved cooking.It was a hobby that he enjoyed the most.After coming back from the birthday party， Adil asked his father if he was doing something wrong.
　　His father laughed and said， “Not at all， dear， what you are doing is perfectly normal.There are no set rules for girls and boys； it is society that makes all that up.Haven’t you seen now among the top chefs many are males？ So there is absolutely nothing to worry about.Just do whatever you enjoy doing.”
　　A few days later， Adil saw an announcement on the notice board in his school： “Youth cooking competition， judged by the country’s top chefs！”
　　Adil decided to take part in the competition.For the competition， the competitors had to hand in properly planned recipes that they would cook within one hour and only three of the best were to be chosen for the final competition.So it was a tough competition.Adil planned the perfect recipes and handed them in.

W：I don’t understand how you got a ticket. I thought you were a careful driver.

（Text 2）
W：Can you tell me how much it costs to repair the TV set？
M：Well， the set is very old. It’ll cost about 100 pounds. However， a new one may cost you 120 pounds more or less. So it’s not worth repairing.
（Text 3）
W：How many people are they interviewing？
M：They interviewed sixteen the first time， and now four of us were chosen to go back for the second interview.
W：I hope it goes well. Good luck. I hope you can get the job.
（Text 4）
M：The guests are leaving for New York today on the 11 o’clock flight. It’s too late. So there will be no bus then. We need someone to get them to the airport on time.
W：I’d be happy to， but my car is under repair now.
M：In that case， we have to call a taxi.
（Text 5）
W：Mary and I are going to the concert. Do you want to come， too？
M：Sorry， but I’m meeting Jane. She’s writing an article and she has asked me to help collect materials for it.
W：An article？ About what？
M：Oh， just old churches. Anyway， I’ll see her at the library at half past two.
（Text 6）
W：Sunshine Hotel， may I help you？
M：Yes， I’m phoning up because I have booked a room for an overseas visitor who won’t be able to come now and so I’ll have to cancel it， I’m afraid.
W：What is the name， please？
M：It was a double room booked in the name of Dr. R. Sun from 14 January， for a week.
W：Ah， yes， I’ve got it. And now you want to change the booking， do you？

W：I don’t want to work on the computer in the evening.
M：Hey， look， how about Indian cooking？ It starts this week. A little bit expensive.
W：You know how much I love Indian food. I’ll call them tomorrow to see if they want new students.

M：No， I’d better stay at home.
W：Why？ It is your favourite.
M：Well ... no.
W：Jack， are you yourself？ What has happened？ Are you having a fever？
M：Not really. It’s all because of my professor. We were asked to turn in a paper on Friday morning， but I haven’t started writing even a single word.
W：Why didn’t you write it？
M：I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English exam all the time， so I had no time.
W：Oh， come on. I think you should have a good rest. Let’s enjoy this free Wednesday night.
M：Anne， listen， I really can’t.
W：Are you serious？
M：Yes， you know it means a lot to me.

（Text 10）
M： What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein？ What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna？ Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in California.
　　When you enter the room， you enter the life of a famous person. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects， clothes， even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses； Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them！ I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning， just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table， the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup！ The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London！

听力材料：
（Text 1）
W：I don’t understand how you got a ticket. I thought you were a careful
driver.
M：I usually am， but I thought I could get through the crossing before
the lights turned red. I was driving too fast so I hit a car.
（Text 2）
W：Can you tell me how much it costs to repair the TV set？
M：Well， the set is very old. It’ll cost about 100 pounds. However， a
new one may cost you 120 pounds more or less. So it’s not worth repairing.
（Text 3）
W：How many people are they interviewing？
M：They interviewed sixteen the first time， and now four of us were
chosen to go back for the second interview.
W：I hope it goes well. Good luck. I hope you can get the job.
（Text 4）
M：The guests are leaving for New York today on the 11 o’clock flight.
It’s too late. So there will be no bus then. We need someone to get them to
the airport on time.
W：I’d be happy to， but my car is under repair now.
M：In that case， we have to call a taxi.
（Text 5）
W：Mary and I are going to the concert. Do you want to come， too？
M：Sorry， but I’m meeting Jane. She’s writing an article and she has
asked me to help collect materials for it.
W：An article？ About what？
M：Oh， just old churches. Anyway， I’ll see her at the library at half
past two.
（Text 6）
W：Sunshine Hotel， may I help you？
M：Yes， I’m phoning up because I have booked a room for an overseas
visitor who won’t be able to come now and so I’ll have to cancel it， I’m
afraid.
W：What is the name， please？
M：It was a double room booked in the name of Dr. R. Sun from 14
January， for a week.
W：Ah， yes， I’ve got it. And now you want to change the booking，
do you？
M：I wish I could， but it now appears that he won’t be able to come at
all.
W：Well， sir， I’ll cancel it then. I hope we can help you some other
time.
（Text 7）
W：Dr. Carter’s Office.
M：I’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Carter， please.
W：Okay. Could I have your name please？
M：Yes. My name is Ronald Schuller.
W：And may I ask who referred you to our office？
M：Uh， I drove past your office yesterday and I saw your number.
W：Okay. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4
o’clock？
M：Uh. Do you happen to have an opening in the morning？ I usually
pick up my kids from school around that time.
W：Okay. How about Tuesday or Thursday at 8：00 am？
M：Can it be earlier， like 7：30？
W：No. I’m sorry.
M：Well， in that case， Thursday would be fine.
（Text 8）
W：Look！ Here is the information about the evening courses.
M：Flower arranging. That’s a real course？ Why would someone want to
do that？
W：You watch TV for 3 hours every Saturday and many people find that
boring too.
M：OK， relax. Let’s see what else is there.
W：Photography. That looks interesting.
M：But look at the price. I don’t think I can afford it. Web design is pretty
cheap. What do you think？
W：I don’t want to work on the computer in the evening.
M：Hey， look， how about Indian cooking？ It starts this week. A little
bit expensive.
W：You know how much I love Indian food. I’ll call them tomorrow to
see if they want new students.
M：OK.
（Text 9）
W：Hey， Jack. Are you going to the party in town tonight？
M：No， I’d better stay at home.
W：Why？ It is your favourite.
M：Well ... no.
W：Jack， are you yourself？ What has happened？ Are you having a
fever？
M：Not really. It’s all because of my professor. We were asked to turn in a
paper on Friday morning， but I haven’t started writing even a single
word.
W：Why didn’t you write it？
M：I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English exam
all the time， so I had no time.
W：Oh， come on. I think you should have a good rest. Let’s enjoy this
free Wednesday night.
M：Anne， listen， I really can’t.
W：Are you serious？
M：Yes， you know it means a lot to me.
W：OK， I understand. I will go by myself. Could you lend me your
car， please？
M：But you don’t have a driver’s license.
W：Who cares？
M：Well， well， Anne. I am going to drive you there and you can call a
taxi when the party is over.
W：All right.
（Text 10）
M： What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein？ What
clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna？ Well now you
can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in
California.
　　When you enter the room， you enter the life of a famous person. The
owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects， clothes， even
food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna’s wardrobe is full
of beautiful white dresses； Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his
wardrobe because he never wore them！ I spoke to one guest staying in the
Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to
know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That
guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning， just as
Elvis liked to do.
On the next table， the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup！
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and
there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the
Winston Churchill suite in London！

the air by her teammates， but how she can rise to the occasion on her own

　　Peyton was nervous， because as her mom Nichole Thorsby
explained when they got to the Showcase of Champions Cheerleading （拉
拉队） Competition at the Florida State Fairgrounds on 4 December for
their 6 a.m.call time， the rest of her team， the K-Tech Krakens， out of
Pasco County weren’t there.
　　“Nobody had come for whatever reasons they had had， and it
ended up just being Peyton that had shown up so her coach， Nikki，
said， ‘It looked like we might have to give it up，’” Thorsby said.
　　Peyton had already put in the work at practice and despite her team
being absent， she says she didn’t want to let them down.
　　“I didn’t really want my team to be disappointed with me for not
going out there and not showing up for them， so I made my decision.I

　　Professor Veena Sahajwalla， 2022 Australian of the year， has
created a solution to our massive trash problem： waste
microfactories.These little trash processors （处理器） — some as small
as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and
transform it into new materials with thermal technology.The new all-in-one
approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
　　In 2018 she launched the first microfactory， establishing a model of
recycling that enables businesses and communities to develop commercial
opportunities while addressing local waste problems.A second one began
recycling plastics in 2019.Now， her lab group is working with university
and industry partners to commercialize their patented Microfactory
technology.“The small scale of the machines will make it easier for them
to one day operate on renewable energy， unlike most large manufacturing
plants.The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new
products on location， avoiding the long， often international，
high-emission journeys between recycling processors and manufacturing
plants.With a microfactory， gone are the days of needing separate
facilities to collect and store materials， extract （提取） elements and
produce new products，” says Sahajwalla.
　　Traditionally， recycling plants break down materials for reuse in
similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic
things.Sahajwalla’s invention advances this idea by taking materials from
an old product and creating something different.“The kids don’t look like
the parents，” she says.Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth
R”， adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce， reuse，
recycle”.

　　When he bought a painting in 1981， art collector George Lester
Winward was sure he’d found a real Raphael.The mysterious work had no
known artist.Looking into the faces of the two figures （a woman and a
baby）， Winward noticed they were extremely similar to those at the
center of another painting： the Sistine Madonna， a Renaissance
masterpiece completed by Raphael around 1513.
　　Winward believed the same artist was behind both works.But experts
thought the painting， now known as the de Brécy Tondo， was more
likely a copy of the Sistine Madonna from the 1840s.
　　Shortly before his death in 1997， Winward set up the de Brécy
Trust， donating his paintings to the organization to allow researchers to
continue rooting out their secrets.Scholars have been studying the de Brécy
Tondo ever since.
　　Now， after 40 years of speculation （推测）， researchers have
made a breakthrough.Using facial recognition technology and artificial
intelligence （AI）， they have concluded that the painting is “highly
likely to be a Raphael masterpiece”.
　　Hassan Ugail， an expert on visual computing at the University of
Bradford， developed the AI facial recognition system used in the
study.The tool is an algorithm （算法） trained on millions of images，
and Ugail has been working on it since 2002.It can figure out how similar
one face is to another by comparing features and recognizing patterns in
much greater detail.If two faces are more than 75 per cent similar， Ugail
considers them identical （相同的）.In this case， the tool found that the
two women were 97 per cent similar， while the two babies were 86 per
cent similar.
　　The AI analysis （分析） is the latest in a series of discoveries made
in the decades researchers have been studying the painting.One of these
finds came about when Howell Edwards， then an expert on molecular
spectroscopy at Bradford， concluded that the work was likely a
Renaissance painting， not a later copy.By analyzing paint pigments （颜
料）， he found evidence that the work contained certain colours and
chemicals that were characteristic of Renaissance art — including
massicot， a yellow pigment that wasn’t used after 1700.
　　“Now，” says Edwards， “those findings have been further
proved by the facial recognition analysis.”

wonder how you ever survived the workday without a handy supply of
food stored under your desk.
　　Why do I focus on lunch bags？ Because they’re so beneficial both
personally and environmentally.Here is a list of my reasons：
　　· 　37　 Depending on where you live， you could save $1，000－
$3，000 per year.I had a personal financial crisis a few years ago and I was
floored by how much money I saved just by packing a lunch every day.
　　·Buying lunch in single-use items is wasteful.If you buy a small meal
and a drink， you could go through many single-use items and a pile of
napkins with each meal. 　38　
　　Now such lunch bags have been invented by rü.This company，
whose name is short for “re-use”， is based in Vancouver， British
Columbia. 　39　 And post-consumer plastic waste can be put to good
use.Just as impressive as the recycled material is the fact that rü bags are
machine washable.Moreover， the bags are lovely to look at and come in a
wide range of colours and patterns.
　　The bags also have an impressive 3-gallon capacity.The roll-down top
means they can be easily adjusted for size. 　40　 Combined with some
lightweight sandwich bags， everything can be put in a briefcase or
clipped onto a purse at the end of the day.
A. When empty， it can be rolled up easily.
B. So you can buy one that adjusts to your bag.
C. Everyone wants to own a beautiful lunch bag.
D. Bringing lunch to work saves so much money.
E. It creates beautiful lunch bags from recycled materials.
F. It saves money， boosts nutrition and reduces plastic waste.
G. Packing lunch saves thousands of single-use products every year.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正
确形式。
　　The Chinese painting style called Xieyi means “writing
ideas”.Artists often use 　56　 （tradition） Xuan paper along with
brushes and ink， and the impressionistic style is designed not to be
realistic， 　57　 rather capture （刻画） the spirit of the subject.
　　It would seem odd to let a machine show such a human-oriented
artistic style.But that’s 　58　 （exact） what Hong Kong artist Victor
Wong has done with a painting robot called AI Gemini.He spent three
years programming the industrial-style robot 　59　 （paint） in the Xieyi
style.
　　“I treat AI Gemini as a student， 　60　 （coach） it to master
simple brushstrokes （笔法） and programming it to develop its own
recognizable style rather than copying the work of ink masters，” Wong
said.
　　Because the machine can paint whatever it 　61　 （want）， some
of the works are strongly recognizable as landscapes while others look
more abstract.While they certainly look more modern， all are identifiable
as Xieyi-style works， thanks 　62　 the materials used and the long，
freehand brushstrokes 　63　 look like what a human artist would
do.Wong emphasized that 　64　 （factor） like temperature and
humidity （湿度） can also affect the look of the landscapes.
　　“The landscape does not exist anywhere apart from in Gemini’s
‘mind’ ，” Wong explains.“I didn’t want my AI to copy me； I
wanted 　65　 （he） to learn from me.We feed off each other.”

Wandering in the World of Art
　　Last Sunday morning， our school organized a visit to an art
exhibition in the City Cultural Center.
　　At 9 a.m.， the students gathered at the gate， looking forward to
what they would enjoy.As soon as they entered， they were attracted by
the artistic atmosphere which led them to explore the whole new
world.With the help of the staff in the center， they learned the unknown
stories behind each exhibited painting.
　　Through this trip， they not only appreciated the beauty of different
types of paintings but also gained a better insight into art creation.

　　It was Adil’s friend Asim’s birthday party.He， along with a present
and a pizza he had made for Asim， went to his house.Adil thought Asim
would be surprised when Adil told him that he had specially made a pizza
for him， but everything turned out differently.When Adil arrived at his
friend’s house， his other friends were already there.
　　Adil gave Asim his present and excitedly asked him to open it
up.Asim was happy to see the pizza but when Adil told him that it was all
his efforts， the friends laughed out loud and made fun of Adil.Nobody
believed Adil had made it！ In fact， they thought it was a girly thing to
do as boys didn’t cook！The party seemed more of an embarrassment than
fun for Adil.Thankfully Asim realised how uncomfortable his friend was so
he quickly changed the topic， “Guys， can we cut the cake now？”
　　The party went well， but for Adil， the fun was over because he
couldn’t stop thinking of how his friends had made fun of him for making a
pizza！
　　Adil， a 14-year-old， loved cooking.It was a hobby that he enjoyed
the most.After coming back from the birthday party， Adil asked his father
if he was doing something wrong.
　　His father laughed and said， “Not at all， dear， what you are
doing is perfectly normal.There are no set rules for girls and boys； it is
society that makes all that up.Haven’t you seen now among the top chefs
many are males？ So there is absolutely nothing to worry about.Just do
whatever you enjoy doing.”
　　A few days later， Adil saw an announcement on the notice board in
his school： “Youth cooking competition， judged by the country’s top
chefs！”
　　Adil decided to take part in the competition.For the competition， the
competitors had to hand in properly planned recipes that they would cook
within one hour and only three of the best were to be chosen for the final
competition.So it was a tough competition.Adil planned the perfect recipes
and handed them in.
　　After three days， the names of the three selected students were
posted on the board and Adil was surprised to see his name on the list.His
friends still didn’t encourage him and kept laughing at him whenever
someone talked about the cooking competition.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

　　Finally， the competition day arrived.Adil was well-prepared and
confident.There were two girls and Adil in the competition.The countdown
began.Not even 45 minutes had passed when one of the girls finished
cooking.Seeing this， the other girl felt anxious and started crying.Adil
didn’t say anything and kept his focus on his dish.Both the other girl and
Adil finished at the same time.The judges were called upon the stage to
check how the kids cooked and served the dish.Adil’s heart was pounding.
　　When the winner was announced， Adil cried with joy.They called
out Adil’s name.One of the judges said， “The girls did very well， but
this young boy remained calm and kept his focus on his cooking and that
counts in the end.Plus， he also showed that boys can be good cooks even
at this young age！”Adil was happy to get the prize， and everyone was
amazed at his win.When he saw his friends in the crowd， they were
cheering more than anyone！
