（A）
Feeding a crowd of hundreds doesn’t make Kenny Seals-Nutt nervous.
In fact, he does well and successfully in the kitchen. He’s in his perfect place when dicing tomatoes, making salads and baking cakes.
By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school at Hickory Grove,
North Carolina, US, he had become president of his school’s cooking club. He also opened his own food company, called Modern Fusion.
Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his mother, and his grandmother, who owned a catering business（饮食业）. Kenny helped them both in order to remember their tips: how long to cook chicken so it stays wet, and the right amount of tomatoes to add to the noodles or fishes.
At the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it for his school lunch, he warmed it up in the school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches.
“I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave,” he said.
Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料） into
common dishes. “It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more,” he said.
He began to watch the Food Network and read chef（大厨）blogs.
Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater（备办食物）for his uncle’s wedding. While she cooked traditional dishes, Kenny wanted to add something new to them.
Now Kenny spends his weekends catering his own events: weddings, birthday parties, baby showers and so on. Kenny’s dishes are always a hit.
Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from his ability in the kitchen. Hicks said he has asked Kenny to cook with him on jobs three times now, and he presents Kenny as a positive example of a good chef to the students in his cooking classes.
“He’s so smart at cooking that he doesn’t let anything stop him,” Hicks said. “I
knew in the first five minutes of working with the kid that he is something special.”

In the suburbs（郊区）, most people have backyards — not enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have no can play in the street or in the park.
When adults are asked to talk about the good of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you.

I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her aloud the text. When I heard her standard （标准）American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practised for the competition. However, I was a little worried
she was always too quiet. Could she really well in the competition?
the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.
Sure enough, No. 8 was very .The whole audience made a warm applause.
While they about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her failure（失败）.
The strong spotlight and large hall made so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on me.”
Three times in all, louder and louder.
The whole audience fell silent.
I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t catch attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.
I think I will never forget this touching lesson my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.
