Little Kitchen Academy (LKA) offers weekend cooking classes called LKA Teen Nights, designed to provide teenagers with essential life skills while promoting their independence and creativity. Aimed at youth aged 13 — 18, these classes combine practical kitchen training with lessons on nutrition, budgeting and sustainable food practices, preparing teens for adulthood, college life, or future careers in food-related fields.
Held every Friday and Saturday evening (7:30 — 10:00 pm), LKA Teen Nights stress hands-on learning in a supportive environment. Under professional guidance, students master kitchen safety, experiment with popular recipes, and explore global cuisines. Challenges include recreating popular restaurant dishes, adapting meals for dietary needs, and cooking with limited tools or ingredients. Teens also learn cost analysis by calculating meal expenses, promoting financial awareness.
The course content addresses diverse learning styles and backgrounds, covering topics like meal planning for athletes, creating balanced diets, and understanding food’s environmental impact. A unique feature is the community table, made from 33,346 recycled chopsticks, where students share meals and discuss food choices.
Parents value the program for building confidence and healthy habits. One student shared, “Cooking breakfast for my family brought everyone joy — it showed me how food connects people.”
With locations expanding globally, LKA encourages families to enroll teens in nearby centers or check for upcoming openings. By combining education with fun, these classes transform weekend nights into opportunities for growth, teamwork and food-based discovery, proving that cooking skills are not just about feeding oneself, but about developing independence and lifelong well-being.

On the last days of July, I moved to a flat in Brixton and joined those with a garden for the first time.
Before moving, I lived in a flat surrounded by a small plot of woodland nearby. There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic.
Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space.
It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I was not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony (陽臺), four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. The only garden I had was in my head, and the space I had when I started my career was used for parties, barbecues and playing with the neighbor’s cat.
Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets and planted them on my balcony, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again. I often spent whole weekends in that small space. The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed colour and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver, it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life.
4．Why does the author mention the morning chorus
A．To show that the woods were close to his flat.
B．To highlight the activity of birds in the morning.
C．To illustrate the joy and routine nature brings.
D．To emphasize the loudness of the bird songs.
5．What drove the author to take up gardening
A．The need for a new hobby.
B．The lack of green spaces in the new location.
C．Formal training at the age of 20.
D．Influences of other gardeners.
6．What does the author’s gardening experience show
A．Gardening requires formal education.
B．The balcony is ideal for growing plants.
C．The author has a natural talent for gardening.
D．Small spaces can develop deep connections with nature.
7．What is the author’s attitude towards gardening
A．Enthusiastic. B．Discouraged. C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent.
The number of children being educated at home has been growing for the past few decades. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported that by the last count, in 2019, nearly 3% of U.S. children — 1.5 million — were being homeschooled.
This number is surely an undercount because the homeschooling population is very hard to survey. Eleven states do not require parents to inform anyone that they are homeschooling a child, and in most of the country, once a child has exited the traditional schoolroom environment, no one checks to ensure they are receiving an education at all.
When a traditional classroom setting cannot meet the educational, social or emotional needs of a child, homeschooling can allow parents to take over. However, many parents are attracted to homeschooling because they want to have more say in what their children learn and what they do not.
Some children may not be receiving any instruction at all. Most states don’t require homeschooled kids to be assessed on specific topics the way their classroom-based peers are. This practice enables educational neglect (忽視) that can have long-lasting consequences for a child’s development.
Homeschooling advocacy organizations promote studies that claim to show equal or higher levels of academic achievement among homeschooled students, but these studies are often conducted by homeschooling advocates. It’s difficult for social scientists to recruit (招募) representative samples for more strict research because of loose reporting requirements and the underground nature of homeschooling.
Still, studies of different homeschooled populations have shown that children’s success depends heavily on their parents’ educational backgrounds. Despite this, in 40 states, parents do not need to have even a high school-level education to educate their children at home.
Children deserve a safe and sound education, even though they are educated at home. The government must develop basic standards for safety and quality of education in homeschooling. For example, homeschooling parents could be required to pass an initial background check. Homeschooling instructors could be required to submit documents every year to their local school district or to a state agency to show that their children are learning.
8．Why is the number of homeschooled children likely undercounted
A．Homeschooling isn’t popular in cities.
B．Homeschooling is illegal in some states.
C．Many parents don’t report homeschooling.
D．The government’s survey methods are outdated.
9．What is one reason parents might choose homeschooling for their children
A．To reduce the cost of education.
B．To avoid government regulations.
C．To ensure their children receive standardized testing.
D．To have more control over their children’s education.
10．Which of the following is a major concern about homeschooling
A．Homeschooled children lack family care.
B．Parents may fail to provide any formal education.
C．Governments are over-regulating it.
D．It requires expensive teaching materials.
11．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．The Future of Education
B．The Benefits of Homeschooling
C．The Popularity of Homeschooling in the U.S.
D．The Challenges and Regulation of Homeschooling
Astronauts play a crucial role in NASA’s scientific research.
“Our job is to work together with people from all over the world to build vehicles and spacecraft to safely live in the space environment to explore the universe,” says retired NASA astronaut Leland Melvin. “We do cutting-edge biological and material research that can save lives on Earth as well as observe the Earth and monitor changes as we fly around the planet every 90 minutes.”
Former astronauts say that they were constantly collaborating (合作) with their colleagues during their time as astronauts. They note that team spirit is crucial for anyone who wants to get this type of position. Humility (謙遜) to recognize what one does not know is also vital for this job, as it involves the ability to quickly learn new skills.
“Being an astronaut is exciting for anyone who likes to design and build technology because the job involves testing the limits of what technology can do.” says Charles Camarda, who previously served as a senior adviser for innovation at NASA．He notes that the extreme environment in space forces astronauts to be creative. The absence of gravity in outer space poses significant challenges when performing everyday tasks.
An astronaut’s work is not restricted to when he or she is in space, according to NASA．“When astronauts are not flying on a mission or training for a mission, they support other missions,” the NASA website states. “There are many jobs on the ground required to support the design, preparation, training and flying of a space mission.”
Stephanie Schierholz, a public affairs officer for the human exploration and operations branch of NASA, says that preparing and recovering from missions is a time-consuming process.
“On Earth, astronauts participate in training to ensure proficiency for their missions,” she explains. “Typically, astronauts spend years training for a mission, then spend about six months aboard the International Space Station during a mission, and spend time reconditioning afterward, which is necessary due to the effects of zero gravity on their bodies.” Schierholz notes that astronauts typically conduct science experiments during their missions “The space station is an orbiting laboratory, and the astronauts aboard typically support about 250 different research investigations during their six-month mission,” she says.
12．What can be learned about astronauts in NASA’s scientific research
A．They primarily focus on building spacecraft.
B．Their work is limited to conducting experiments in space.
C．They contribute to both space exploration and Earth-related research.
D．They are mainly responsible for monitoring changes in the world.
13．Why is humility considered a vital quality for astronauts
A．It allows astronauts to focus only on Earth observation.
B．It ensures astronauts can perform physically demanding tasks.
C．It helps astronauts avoid conflicts with international colleagues.
D．It enables astronauts to recognize their limitations and learn quickly.
14．What is a key challenge that astronauts face when carrying out space missions
A．The limited time for testing. B．The extreme environment of space.
C．The need for constant collaboration. D．The difficulty of training.
15．What does the underlined word “reconditioning” in the last paragraph most likely refer to
A．Recovering physical health. B．Continuing education.
C．Planning future missions. D．Repairing equipment.
In our fast-speed lives, celebrations are far from just about having fun. 16 . From building connection to spreading positivity, celebrations can make our lives healthier and happier.
Celebrating builds connection and community
Celebrations do more than mark milestones or holidays. They bring people together, creating a sense of belonging that strengthens relationships. 17 . It reduces stress, boosts mental health, and even improves physical wellbeing. So, celebrate often to develop and maintain relationships and build a better life.
Celebrating helps you feel motivated
You may not link partying with productivity. 18 . Recognizing wins, even small ones, makes the brain release dopamine, a chemical messenger often associated with feelings of pleasure, motivation and reward. This creates a cycle in your brain that encourages you to repeat the same behavior. So make sure to set small goals and celebrate them along the way. You’ll get that pleasant dopamine hit that’ll keep you moving forward as you work toward your dreams.
Celebrating fuels confidence
Celebrating your achievements, whether large or small, offers more than momentary happiness. It’s a powerful means to improve your confidence. Recognizing what you’ve achieved strengthens your sense of self-worth and ability. 19 .
Celebrating spreads positivity
Celebrations bring out positive energy. When you gather people to laugh, dance and share love, you create something bigger than the event itself. It makes you let go of worries for a while. 20 . When you celebrate, you’re not just lifting your own spirits, you’re inspiring others to feel lighter, happier and more connected.
A．They have many great benefits
B．Parties are always noisy and tiring
C．In addition, this positivity spreads easily
D．Some people think celebrations are a waste of time
E．So go ahead and celebrate to show yourself you’re unstoppable
F．But celebrating indeed boosts your motivation to get things done
G．Having a solid network of people in your corner doesn’t just feel good

五、書面表達
47．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a kid, Christmas was always the most exciting time for me. New Year’s never really interested me because it always felt a bit of a letdown. But all that changed when I was fourteen. That year, my dad had an idea. He suggested our family pack up and drive 50 miles north to our small lake cabin (小屋) in northern Michigan to welcome the New Year.
At first, I was hesitant. The cabin was amazing in summer. We would boat, fish, swim, water ski, and float on tubes there. But spending time there in the cold winter sounded boring. I made a face and asked, “What will we do ” Dad said, “There are lots of things! We can ski, walk on snow with special shoes, ice-skate and sled (乘雪橇)! We can play games, sleep late, and see what northern Michigan is like in winter. We can also build a big bonfire (篝火) by the lake, make sweet treats, and then go inside and drink hot chocolate.”
That sounded fun, so I agreed. My brother, Dan, was also interested. A few days after Christmas, Mom, Dad, Dan and I got in our red car and started driving. After five hours, I fell asleep. In my mind, I pictured what the cabin would look like. The tree branches would be covered in snow and ice. The lake might seem bigger without boats. I hoped the sky would be as bright blue as in summer.
Hours later, as the sun was going down, we finally reached the cabin. We ran to the door, but Dad couldn’t open the lock. It was frozen. Mom and I drove to the local stores to ask for help while Dad and Dan continued to fight the lock. Unluckily, this was Sunday and the stores were closed, so no locksmith (鎖匠) would help us until the next morning.
It was after 7:00 pm and the temperature was dropping fast. We needed a Plan B．

47．【答案】Dad grabbed a big rock and broke through the kitchen window. We quickly climbed inside, shivering from the cold. Mom lit the fireplace, and soon the cabin was warm and cozy. We made hot chocolate and shared stories, laughing at our unexpected adventure. The next morning, a locksmith arrived and fixed the lock, and our New Year’s celebration officially began.
Over the next few days, we did all the things Dad had planned. We skied on the snowy hills, ice-skated on the frozen lake, and built a massive snowman. In the evenings, we gathered around the bonfire, roasting marshmallows and enjoying the winter sky. It turned out to be the most memorable New Year’s I had ever experienced, and I realized that sometimes, the best moments come from unexpected beginnings
