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 cut­price 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 well­known chef，will cook using “honest high­street 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 18­course 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 recession.“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 high­quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London t hat 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.

C
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival，or Double Ninth Festival.It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar(阳历). In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing，or The Book of Changes，number “6” was thought to be of Yin character meaning feminine or negative，while number，“9”was thought to be Yang，meaning masculine or positive.So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival，or Chongyang Festival.Chong in Chinese means “double”．Also，as double ninth is pronounced the same as the word to mean “forever”，both are “Jiu Jiu”，the Chinese ancestors considered it a lucky day worth celebration.That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
The custom of climbing to a height to avoid popular disease was passed down from long time ago.Therefore，the Double Ninth Festival is also called “Height Ascending Festival”．The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower.Ancient literary figures have left many poems describing the activity.Even today，people still crowd to famous or little known mountains on this day.
On this day，people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake)．In Chinese，gao (cake) has the same pronunciation with gao (height). People do so just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in.There is no fixed ways for the Double Ninth Cake，but super cakes will have as many as nine layers，looking like a tower.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum (菊花) blooms.China is
proud of different species of chrysanthemum and people have loved them since ancient times.So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum also becomes a key activity on this festival.Also，people will drink chrysanthemum wine.Women used to stick such a flower into their hair or hang its branches on windows or doors to avoid evilness.
In 1989，the Chinese government decided the Double Ninth Festival as Seniors Day.Since then，all government units，organizations and streets communities will organize an autumn trip each year for those who have retired from their posts.At the waterside or on the mountains，the seniors will find themselves merged into nature.Younger generations will bring elder ones to the country or send gifts to them on this day. 64．Why did ancient Chinese celebrate Double Ninth Festival?
A．Because the government forced them to.
B．Because there was a beautiful story about it.
C．Because it was passed down from old times.
D．Because they thought double ninth means lucky.
答案 D [细节理解题。

根据第一段最后两句话可知答案为D。

]
65．Why do Chinese eat Double Ninth Gao in Double Ninth Festival?
A．Because gao(cake) has the same pronunciation with height.
B．Because people do so to hope for progress.
C．Because it is delicious.
D．Because it is a traditional food.
