Cooking is Chris Spears passion. Hes been professionally cooking since he was 16. Over the years， he worked for big restaurants and reached a point where he had almost 100 employees reporting to him. Thats when he sought not to be restricted and wanted to be more creative. So， he quit working for restaurants and set up his own catering （餐飲） company， Perfect Little Bites in Frederick， Maryland.

Spending long hours in the kitchen doesnt tire Spear， but he had often been concerned that becoming an independent chef would make him feel lonely. Spear said he wanted to find an arrangement that would be beneficial to all such groups but didnt cost them any money. That inspired him to found Chefs Without Restaurants， an online resource for chefs.

Now he has an online group where he can post information about， for instance， a potential customer who wants to arrange a dinner in a given location and within a certain price range， and he can offer interested chefs more information. Customers can also benefit from this network. Spear is building a website where customers will be able to check out profiles of the Chefs Without Restaurants members， learn about their specialties and see what kinds of events they can cater， large or small.

Sharon Streb， owner of Oil & Vinegar Frederick which introduces cooking ideas and chefs to their customers， said small businesses should help one another succeed. “When other chefs and businesses come to my store， they get in front of our customers and hopefully we get in front of their customers. Thats a win-win for both of us，” she said. “Its tough （艱難的） out there for a small business， and not a lot of small businesses succeed. Its important that we can work together and be successful， both of us.”

Thats the goal for Spear， who wants to carve out a space for independent chefs on the food map in the area.

The sweet art of painting with caramelized sugar （焦糖） can be witnessed in Chinas Sichuan Province. This ancient craft still manages to amaze tourists lucky enough to stumble upon a skilled street artist.

According to experts， this type of Chinese folk art originated from the Ming Dynasty when sugar animals and figures were created as part of ceremonies for sacrifice. During the Qing Dynasty， it gained even more popularity and the techniques were upgraded， which resulted in an increased number of patterns， most of them inspired by nature， wildlife and religion. In the beginning， people used molds （模具） to shape the caramelized sugar， but they were gradually replaced with a small bronze spoon that had to be used by talented artists who were experts at the art of normal painting as well.

“Painting” artistic pieces from melted sugar is very different from regular painting. Because the hot sugar cools down very quickly， the painter has to work swiftly， making sure he follows the correct order of strokes to get every shape just right. In order to get familiar with the process and the technique， its recommended that artists practice normal painting first.

Masters of this centuries-old craft use brown or white sugar as the main material. A bronze spoon and a small spade as tools， and a slab of marble （大理石） as the canvas. The sugar is melted over a fiery pot and spread over the canvas with the spoon. Once the shape is completed， the spade is used to glue a wooden stick to the artwork and to separate it from the marble slab. Then you can have your very own caramelized sugar dragon or tiger and a unique souvenir.

The art is gaining support from both the general public and the government， who had it listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage.

28. What does the underlined phrase “stumble upon” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

A. Employ. B. Attract. C. Become. D. Encounter.

29. What can we learn about the caramelized sugar painting in Qing Dynasty？

A. Its themes were various. B. It played a more important role in ceremonies.

C. It attracted more people to study paintings. D. Its molds were completely replaced by spoons.

30. What makes sugar painting different from regular painting？

A. The order of strokes. B. The number of the patterns.

C. The drawing materials. D. The topics of the paintings.

31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？

A. The history of making sugar paintings. B. The process of creating sugar paintings.

C. The variety of different sugar paintings. D. The pleasure of enjoying sugar paintings.

A new study combining linguistic， genetic and archaeological evidence has traced the origins of the family of languages including modern Japanese， Korean， Turkish and Mongolian and the people who speak them to millet （粟） farmers who inhabited a region in northeastern China about 9，000 years ago.

The findings document a shared genetic ancestry for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian languages across an area stretching more than 8，000 kilometers.

The findings illustrate how humankinds embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the worlds major language families. Millet was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers transitioned to （轉向） an agricultural lifestyle.

There are 98 Transeurasian languages. This language familys beginnings were traced to millet farmers in the Liao River valley， an area including parts of the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the region of Inner Mongolia. As these farmers moved across northeastern Asia， the descendant languages spread north and west into Siberia and east into the Korean peninsula and over the sea to Japan over thousands of years.

The research stressed the complex beginnings for modern populations and cultures.

“Accepting that the roots of ones language， culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender （屈服） of identity， which some people are not yet prepared to make，” said comparative linguist Martine Robbeets， lead author of the study published in the journal Nature.

The origins of modern Chinese languages arose independently， though in a similar fashion with millet also involved. While the ancestors of the Transeurasian languages grew millet in the Liao River valley， the originators of the Sino-Tibetan language family farmed foxtail millet at roughly the same time in Chinas Yellow River region， paving the way for a separate language expansion.

32. What is the new study mainly about？

A. The origins of a large language family. B. The migration routes of millet farmers.

C. The shared features of neighboring languages. D. The different ancestries of Transeurasian speakers.

33. What fueled the spread of Transeurasian languages？

A. The transition of power. B. The variety of lifestyles.

C. The interaction of cultures. D. The adoption of farming.

34. Who may feel uncomfortable about the new findings？

A. Those from agricultural countries. B. Those afraid to cross boundaries.

C. Those with a strong sense of nationalism. D. Those refusing to accept their cultural identity.

35. What is the main function of the last paragraph？

A. To draw a conclusion. B. To present likely consequences.

C. To highlight the theme. D. To offer additional information.

Urban Wildlife

Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild， a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread， we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.

Cities are built for humans. 36 For example， most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers， we destroy natural habitats.

37 When a bridge in Austin， Texas was repaired， engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats， and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 38 Now， they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction， and they eat lots of bugs every night.

There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open， natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways， the park is the opposite of a zoo. 39

If we learn to share our space， we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us. 40 Our own future will be endangered too.

A. They are built to protect birds.

B. Our actions sometimes help other species.

C. If we do not， more species will become extinct.

D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.

E. Instead of being kept in cages， wildlife can move about freely.

F. At first， people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.

G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.
