Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet(宴会)at No.10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.

Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using “honest high-street products” and avoid expensive or “fancy” ingredients (材料).

The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages.

Obama,President Nicolas Sarkozy of France,Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices (学徒) from the Fifteen London, a restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.ks.5u

Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit,which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recession. “To be invited to cook for such an important group of people,who are trying to solve some of the world’s major problems, is really a privilege,” said Oliver.

“I’m hoping the menu I'm working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world,but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of..”

The chef has not yet finalized the menu,but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie's Ministry of Food,, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew (啤酒炖菜) and “impressive” chocolate fudge cake.

Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the   36   is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address   37   less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.

    Mark and I met at a summer   38   that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t   39   exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.

    We lived close to each other and   40   saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the   41   and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I come across them occasionally and   42   to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a   43   and precious friend to me, and I am deeply   44   that we have drifted so far apart.

     Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46   entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47   such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49   Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his   50   (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would

  51   him to be.

     I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52   by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53   again, or whether these years have left us with   54  

in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I   55  , or only remain the boy I knew.
