A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of questions．One of the questions is：Do you enjoy foreign food? For Questions 1-5, match the name of each person to one of the statements given below．
1．John Harvey：
In fact if you go out to a restaurant, it’s very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can find almost anything else：French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on．London is full of foreign restaurants．I love trying “new dishes．” I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food．
2．Jo Baker：
I like foreign food, but not all．I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself．I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list．However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking．What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad．You see, that’s just part of the enjoyment of travelling to another country．Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food．
3．Gabby Macadam：
On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply can’t stand．You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form．I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce．I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems．I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce．

When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak．You see, when I’m abroad I always miss our home cooking．I mean, I’m used to English food．Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food．You know, it’s always difficult to get used to food in other countries．

Kieron Williamson, a seven-year-old British boy, is being recognized as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18, 000 pounds in just 14 minutes. This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons to Pablo Picasso, a child prodigy（神童）who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century.
It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall on the southwest English coast when Kieron was five. Inspired by the view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad （速寫紙）. From that moment on, he became deeply interested. While supportive, Kieron’s parents are careful not to push their son. He only paints when and what he wants.
He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. His father said a sale of Kieron’s works held in November even drew a buyer from Japan. “We had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o’clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said.
All this talent, money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy’s head, but Kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “Some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . Umn, ‘you are not too special’, ” he said.
Kieron’s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero. The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25. Kieron’s parents and his younger sister Billi-Jo don’t see him as anything other than a normal seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and who’s mad about football. But for
now, with so much still to learn, there’s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up. He said, “I think I’ll definitely be an artist. ”
26. According to Paragraph 1, we can know Kieron Williamson ________.
A. painted 16 paintings in only 14 minutes
B. draws as well as Picasso did
C. is one of the most recognized artists
D. has unusual ability in painting
27. What made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting?
A. His first sketch-pad.
B. His parents’ encouragement.

A. is famous but a little proud
B. isn’t very special from other children
C. isn’t worth praising at all
D. is hard to get along with
29. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A. Edward Seago thinks highly of Kieron’s painting
B. Kieron likes doing sports and painting instead of studying
C. Kieron’s family is very poor
D. Kieron wants to be a great painter

This year’s World Food Prize will honor two leaders of hunger-fighting groups based in the United States. The winners are David Beckmann of Bread for the World and Jo Luck of Heifer International. They will share the prize of 250,000 dollars. The World Food Prize usually goes to researchers or top policy officials. This is the first time it will recognize the work of nongovernmental groups.

Under her leadership, the group’s budget grew from less than 10,000,000 dollars to more than 130,000,000 dollars.

We have seen cases where we have been gone 5 and 10 years and we go back and they have developed roads and built schools, and they have other communities receiving the animals and the training. You just give them those resources and that training and opportunity, and you cannot hold them back.” She told the story of a woman from a poor village in Zimbabwe. A family member helped send her to school in the United States with earnings from a donated milk goat. She received a doctoral degree. Jo Luck, “That is what a goat did. That is one example.

Bread for the World organizes people from religious and non-religious groups to write, call and visit members of Congress（國會）. The purpose is to support measures to improve the lives of the poor. David Beckmann points to big increase in American development assistance. He said, “I think that would not have happened without the support of hundreds of thousands of people and churches that are part of Bread for the World and that keep the pressure on their members of Congress.” The prize committee also credited his efforts with helping to increase aid to needy families in the United States.
