Wonder what it is like to be a chef（厨师）? This weekend you will have your chance to find out. Two local chefs, Monica Sallier and Andrew Gleason, will hold an "open kitchen" at their

restaurants this Saturday.

Monica's restaurant, The Blue Hen, is small but comfortable. Wooden tables and chairs cover

the dining area, and sweet music is always on. "I like to laugh and always tell jokes while I cook,"

Monica said. "Cooking brings people together. The cooks who work with me have become my

best friends." At Monica's "open kitchen", she plans to teach her guests how to prepare country-style fried

chicken. For it, she will use her family's secret spice（香料）. She learned how to make it from

same dish twice, "she said.

Quarter Bistro. "I am not the most talkative chef in the business," Andrew said. "Mostly because I prefer to give my full attention to the food. Every ingredient（食材）must be carefully measured.

2．阅读理解

Chip was in the first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor（辅导员）. It was

shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil（道德败坏的）boy.

How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered "evil"?Over the

next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor

uncontrollable.

But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her

to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my

office.

When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he

didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion.

Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behaviour really scared her. It was clear to both

Chip and me that she really meant it.

I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful

and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings.

As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his

behaviour improved through the rest of school years.

A child's mind is clear and sensitive（敏感的）. He receives whatever others say without

protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own

special way.（1）The first paragraph mainly tells us .
