Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet 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 Fifteen，the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.
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 depression．“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.
56. What can we learn about Oliver from the text?
A．He is a well-known American cook．
B．He is invited to attend the G20 summit．

On my first day of teaching，I found that I spent 85 percent of my energy disciplining and 15 percent teaching knowledge.Of course I had some wonderful，serious students who would do well wherever they were in life，but others worked hard to push themselves to the limit (限度)．At night I went home exhausted，often near tears.What gave me the idea I wanted to teach?

And then there was Matthew.

After school Matthew would come into my classroom to dust erasers or empty the wastepaper basket.

“Why do you come in to visit me？” I asked him one night.

“Because at home no one listens to me，” was his reply.Later I found out that there were eleven children in his family，with Matthew near the middle.

One time when he came to see me，he said，“Miss Ausmus，the kids are saying that you and Mr D．like each other.”

“Matthew，Mr D．is a nice man and we both teach some of the same students.He is not my boyfriend，and it’s not something the children should be talking about anyway.”

Another time，he said，“Will you wait for me so I can marry you when I grow up？”

“Sorry，Matthew，but that won’t work，” I answered in a gentle way.

When my birthday arrived，his mother made me a cake.She delivered (递送) it after school，and as Matthew was carrying it up the school steps，he tripped (绊倒)，dropping the cake.I found him in tears.I told him that bringing me a cake was very，very special，whether I was able to eat it or not.

After my second year of teaching，I said “goodbye” to Matthew and his family.

Years passed and in 1992，I went back to the little town to visit.Matthew’s parents still lived in the same house.His mother greeted me warmly.“Janet，”she said，“Thanks for all the time you spent encouraging Matthew.You taught him to believe in himself.You are the reason he went to college.”

I had made a difference in the life of a young boy.But I wonder...did Matthew ever know the difference he made in mine?
