24、Our class was great. But things turned upside down when Martin Mackenzie arrived. Martin was loud, rude and had a bad temper (脾气).You never knew what might make him angry, so it was best to keep out of his way. On the last day of term, my friend Harley said to me. “Martin’s looking at you.” he said. I was scared, and I didn’t know what to do. I looked at Martin and tried to smile. Martin didn't smile back…

“You’re in trouble now, Josh,” Harley said. “Martin’s going to do something mean (卑鄙的) to you.” “I haven’t done anything to him,” I said. “Why would he do something mean to me?” “He doesn’t need a reason. It’s just how he is.” I kept away from Martin at lunch time. I smiled as I went to the car park after school. I was safe from Martin for the holidays. But suddenly, a voice called out, “See you on Monday, Josh!” I turned and saw Martin looking at me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “Didn’t your mum tell you?” Martin said. “I’m staying with you for the next two weeks.”

“Please tell me Martin Mackenzie isn’t coming to stay over the holidays, Mum,” I said, as I got into the car. “Yes, he is,” Mum said. “His mother has to work, and I said I’d help her. Is that a problem?” “Yep, it is. He’s a bully (恃强欺弱者), and everyone is scared of him,” I said. Mum frowned. “I’ve given my word, Josh__You will just have to get along.”

On Monday morning, Martin arrived. “Good morning, Mrs Grey,” he said. “Thank you for allowing me to stay. Good morning, Josh. It’s wonderful to see you again.” This wasn’t the Martin I knew. Wait until we’re alone, I thought. Then his good manners will disappear, and he’ll be horrible (可怕的) again. I was right! As soon as Mum was gone, Martin turned mean. He took over everything, and there was nothing I could do about. It was going to be a long two weeks…

I told Mum how horrible Martin was to me. “I’ve just had a talk to Martin’s mum about that,”

she said. “You need to know something.” “What?” I asked. “Martin's dad left.” Mum said. “So his mother moved the family every time she found a better job. Martin used to make new friends, but they always forgot about him when he moved. I think he’s unfriendly from the start, so he won’t be

disappointed (失望的) when he leaves.” I looked at Mum. “1 feel sorry for him,” I said. But he is still horrible. “What can I do?” “Treat him like your best friend --- no matter how he acts,” Mum said.

It was hard work, but I kept at it over the next two weeks. At last, Martin stopped bullying me. That was when I found out he was a nice kid.

Martin’s mum was excited when she came to get him on the last day. “Martin! I’ve decided my new job is perfect, so we won’t have to move again!” Martin smiled. “Now I can keep my friends!” he said. “But, there’s a problem. Everyone’s scared of me.”

25、   Divided into two groups, the students were busy in a kitchen at the High Point Community Center in Seattle, US. Instructor Asia Faircloth taught one group how to cook vermicelli (意式细面) bowls with chicken. The other group joined Jacob Alhadeff to practice new skills with knives.

The center’s four-week cooking course was centered on cooking and food justice. To teach more people about the importance of having nutritious food, the city had students from low-income families through social media. Each student received 100 dollars (700 yuan) at the end of the course.

“Low-income people are more likely to feel the effects of food injustice,” Alhadeff said. “So providing cooking instruction and putting money back in the pockets of our community members seemed like a no-brainer (容易做的决定).”

Alhadeff and Faircloth started the course not only to teach kids how to cook, but also to encourage them to think more deeply about food. They were shown how to connect personal choices with the economic cost of obesity, climate change and global food supplies.

Tahir Adams and Najah Goodrich, two juniors at Seattle Lutheran High School, joined the classes. They talked about how farmers have a hard time putting food on their own kitchen tables while growing fresh products for the rest of the country. They were proud of the new skills and recipes they learned.

“We started with more personal things, then looked at the bigger, global view ... like, how climate change is related to food,” Adams said. “It can be really bad when droughts turn places into actual deserts and droughts cause civil unrest.”
