记叙文专练Passage 1She may no longer be a part of The Great British Bake Off, but you can’t keep Mary Berry away from what she enjoys doing most—taking the nation’s favourite recipes and giving them her own unique twist. In her brand new series, Classic Mary Berry, she promises that every single dish presented has been personally tested at home by her own family—and only those that received a thumbs up (赞许) from everyone made the cut.It would certainly take a brave person to suggest Mary had got it wrong. Having started cooking in her twenties, she now has more than 70 cookery books to her name. So what can viewers expect from the new show? “This is food you can cook at home, each focusing on a different style of food, dishes with simple techniques and tips on what you can prepare ahead,” Mary says. “Classic me!”It wasn’t until sh e was 75 that she found fame, following the launch (推出) of Bake Off in 2010. Her chemistry with baker Paul Hollywood and presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc quickly turned the show into the most popular series on TV. But in 2017, when it moved to Channel 4, Mary decided she would remain with the BBC.Mary, who has two children and four grandchildren, lives with Paul, her husband, for 51 years, in Buckinghamshire, where they grow much of what they eat in their own garden. But while Paul is on hand to help tend to the fruit and veg, Mary insists that the kitchen remains her kingdom. Although Mary turns 83 next month, there is no suggestion of her slowing down and even less of retiring. “We all do things that we enjoy,” she explains. “I find cooking is very relaxing. I cook something and everyone goes, ‘Isn’t that delicious? Can we have it again?’ I find that so rewarding. I hope I inspire people to enjoy family cooking. Life is all about sharing.

The other woman was my mother, who had been a widow for 19 years. However, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed. A few days la ter, my mother died of a serious heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; still, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife.

Madison quickly surveyed the situation. She was the only one who could fit through the small hole. Without hesitation, she got on her stomach next to the opening, placed her arms out in front of her, and told the adults, “Lower me in.”Leigh and others held her waist and legs. Inside, the tank was dark, and the air was terrible. In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist and arm so severely that the hand was useless. Rather than tend to her injury, Madison skimmed the surface of the waste water, hoping to feel the drowning boy. “Every once in a while, I’d see his little toes out of the water,” she said. “Then I would try to grab them.” Minutes ticked by before she saw the faint outline of his foot again. Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly. “Pull me up!”she shouted to the others above.As they were pulled to the surface, the boy’s free foot got stuck under the inside lip of the hole. “Lower me down!” she yelled. Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank, she and the boy were lifted out.But the boy wasn’t out of trouble. He wasn’t breathing for the lack of oxygen.

For artist and father Dominick Cabalo, however, his son Nicholas’ lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity. Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas’ paper lunch bags, usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school. “I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others,” he said. “So by creating a piece of artwork to ‘break the ice’, kids would com e up to him and start talking and hopefully a conversation, or better yet, a new friendship, would start.”Though Nicholas is in middle school now, he still asks his dad to draw on the lunch bags, and will make requests for characters or drawings that he’d like to see on the next bag. Cabalo has drawn about 400 lunch bags in the past three years. He explained that the bags had really helped his son become more confident at school. “He’s broken out of his shell because of this, and I like to think that I ha d a hand in helping him do this with these bags,” he wrote.Nicholas keeps most of the bags. “Some come back in better condition than others,” Cabalo said. “We may lose one due to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink, but that’s to be expected.” As f or the bags that make it home undamaged, Cabalo posts their photos to social media.

It was a touching act of kindness, but, as it turned out, not a random one. The cake had been paid for by a lady known simply as “McKenna’s mum”—as part of a gesture she had been making for a while, and for a heartbreaking reason.While Madison is set to celebrate turning 11, McKenna Jodell Fox would have turned ten on the same day. McKenna was only nine months old in 2008, when she was crushed by a falling TV set as her family prepared to move house.It’s a painful occasion for her mum, but one she has transformed into something positive. The cake she bought was accompanied by a card which read as follows:“Dear Birthday Girl Family,In honour of my daughter’s 10th birthday I have chosen your birthday cake to pay for. Each year I do this random act of kindness because I am unable to buy my daughter a cake of her own. Today is her big double digit birthday. Please enjoy your day.”By Kyle’s own admission, the whole family was left speechless. “We just want to say thank you to McKenna’s mom,” he wrote, “and wish McKenna a happy birthday.

World Full of SurprisesPassage 7It was during a school trip to the Art Gallery of NSW that I realized I was not white.Aged eight, rough and noisy as any child travelling to an exciting place miles away from their own home, a supervising teacher seriously reminded me to stay in one place. To ensure this happened, and that I did not escape to a closed-off exhibition area the minute her eyes turned elsewhere, she forced me to hold the hand of a quiet, modest girl in my class, the typical teacher’s pet.Already feeling incredibly self-conscious, the moment took a turn for the worse when a fellow classmate eyed our interlocked hands. With a finger pointing accusingly towards us, he said, “God, I can see her hand turning black already.”That night I came home and cried in the shower. My own secret purchase of a Dove beauty bar failed to wash off the thick layer of dark grime (污点) onto my skin. For the first time I was forced to confront the vast valley between who I thought I was and who I actually was.Race proceeded to become something I struggled with all throughout adolescence. In stories like these, the climax (高潮) usually comes during university. To an extent, that was true.In your hands today is an edition that celebrates stories like mine, of lives and experiences informed by race.While race is the source of many of our struggles, it is also the location of our characteristics, dearest stories, and most loved people.
