Flynn Garry, a l5- year-old boy, is known as “the country's hottest chef(厨师)”

Garry started cooking four years ago. Before he tried cooking at home, he read some cookbooks and surfed the Internet. He thought he could do it. Garry said, "Every time I try it, I hope to get better and better, I just love cooking.”

Garry said he could cook, also partly thanks to his mum. His mum didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, he didn’t like her food, so he decided to try something simple.

Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and was ready for a bigger plan. “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family too. The young man had a strong passion(热情) for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into a test kitchen. Every day he practised his cooking skills there after school. Soon he could really create more complicated(复杂的) dishes of his own. At that moment, the real" I want to be a chef" dream came into his mind.

Now Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside his home. Garry, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he's not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. "At the point in your life where you stop caring if you're going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my heart and people can see it. I hope to keep getting better and better. ”

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant that serves Western food? If so, do you remember what the menu looked like? Western restaurant menus are quite different from Chinese restaurant menus. But【1】 are they different?

Most Western restaurant menus do not have as many【2】as Chinese ones do. In some expensive Western restaurants, the menus might not have any pictures at all.

Western restaurants use many different methods to design their menus and make them attract more people. In fact, there is a whole industry called menu engineering, according to the BBC. Menu engineers are experts (专家) at designing menus. Their menus can increase sales and【4】 customers’ thoughts (想法).

A well-designed menu can encourage customers to eat certain dishes. It can【5】make them believe that your restaurant's food is of higher quality (质量), even if they haven't eaten the food yet.

For example, using descriptive (描述性的) words like "juicy"" cheesy" can help dishes sell better. Instead of just writing “steak(牛排)” in their menu, a restaurant might write “sizzling(滋滋作响的) steak”. This makes the steak seem more【6】.

As you can see, menus are not just simple lists of food.

“Life is speeding up(加速). Everyone is getting unwell. ”

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in ancient Rome wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can change our lives. 【1】

For example, you're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings. 【2】Suddenly the computer goes bad and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling worried and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier?【3】

One family in the UK went"back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave(微波炉),computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother Lyn said, “【4】” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a fashionable (时尚的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.

A. Perhaps it's because they live simpler lives.

B. Living in a different time will be lots of fun for us.

C. A QQ message from your friend appears on the screen.

D. But have all these developments really improved our lives?

E. The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.

F. We have achieved so much with the developments of technology.
