　　English teenagers are to receive compulsory(必修的)cooking lessons in schools．The idea is to encourage healthy eating to fight the country's increasing obesity rate．It's feared that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost as parents turn to pre-prepared convenience foods．

　　Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England-even if it was mainly aimed at girls．In recent decades cooking has progressively become a minor activity in schools．In many cases the schools, themselves have given up cooking meals in kitchens in the schools．But the rising level of obesity has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught．

　　"What I want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce, a bolognaise, a simple curry, a stir-fry．Which they can use now at home and then in their later life," said Ed Balls, the minister responsible for schools．

　　The new lessons are due to start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given longer to adapt．There is also likely to be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since the trend has been to teach food technology rather than practical cooking．Also the compulsory lesspns for hands on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term．But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believes it will be worth it．

　　"If we'd done this thirty years ago we might not have the crisis we've got now about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on．Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they'll be healthy, but because it's a life skill which is a real pleasure．"

　　The renewed interest in cooking is primarily a response to the level of obesity in Britain which is among the highest in Europe, and according to government figures half of all Britons will be obese in 25 years if current trends are not halted．

[　　]
A．	They will be able to do some basic, simple recipes like a tomato sauce．
B．	They will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well：
C．	They will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills．
D．	They will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country．

(3)

The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means ________．

B．	stopped
C．	spread

第二节　　完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，
选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
As a saying goes, every bean has its black .It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter，is no _36_．Several decades ago he made a mistake -a(n) perfect mistake, _37_．
On a cold Saturday, Mother's father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his _38_ was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Africa. On his way home, he _39_ into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His _40_ proved fruitless.
When he _41_ replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having _42_ him $20 that very morning, were heading for Africa! He had to drive home _43_.
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather's church, _44_ Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said，“I must thank you for the _45_ you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪）had just _46_ through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“_47_ I had the money, there was simply no way of _48_ those glasses. _49_ not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff _50_ the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped（吸引注意）with the _51_ of it all, he continued, “ When I tried _52_ the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened，_53_ for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have _54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their _55_ of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
