26、Earlier this month, 6-year-old Isaac went on vacation to Fort Walton, Florida, with his family. While there, his mother Garrett learned about Lulu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏症).
At Lulu, Isaac could eat a salad and roast chicken with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if he was asking me, ‘Is this OK?’ ”Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of ordering and eating at a restaurant. Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It's not fun and it feels unfair, ”she said. Garrett shared the moment on the restaurant’s Facebook page to thank them for helping her son. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving him this experience, ” she wrote in her post.
Barnett, the restaurant's manager said, “When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food allergy, I help with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring it’s cooked in a separate station and offering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the last 10 years since our allergy program was started. ”On Garrett’s Facebook post, Lulu replied Garrett’s post and thanked her for sharing her story.
Garrett is hoping her post’s popularity will make other restaurants, especially the places near her family’s home about 30 minutes away from Mashville, provide such a service. “Lulu offers quality services to the guests with food allergies. Nothing would make us happier than that, ” she said.
【1】Why do Garrett and her family hardly eat out at restaurants?
A.Because they are on a low income.

28、 However exiting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated (使脱水) or pre - cooked and stored. This means astronauts aren't really eating fresh food.
New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially - designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASA's NG -12 cargo (货物) mission. Far from the common vacuum-packed (真空包装的) meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies.
Why aren't they baking cookies in space already?
For one thing, there's the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of microgravity, which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth. Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space. “I believe.... that will be game changing for both science and astronauts,” food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.
One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASA's 2018 research into the effects of “confinement (封闭) and isolation (隔离)”. Unlike on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts traveling out of Earth's orbit (轨道) may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings.
It's hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to crews (宇航人员). “Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We don't know.” said NanoRacks' communications manager Abby Dickes. “But that's a feeling we all know and love . . . that will make someone feel at home.”
Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.
With commercial (商业的) space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future?
【1】What can the new technology help astronauts to do in space?
A.Store more food.
B.Enjoy fresh cookies.
C.Quickly prepare food.
D.Keep food from going bad.
【2】Why is it difficult to bake cookies in space?
A.It's difficult and costly to send food into space.
B.Microgravity stops food from staying in one place.
C.Baking cookies in space would pollute the spaceships.
D.It is hard to heat food properly because of microgravity.
【3】What can we infer from Abby Dickes' words?
A.Astronauts on the ISS suffer a lot.
B.The ISS will be made cookie shaped.
C.The effort of making freshly baked cookies in space is necessary.
D.The astronauts on the ISS took a bite of the cookies made in space.
【4】What was the main purpose of the cookie project?
A.To improve astronauts' health.
B.To make improvements in space travel.
C.To encourage more people to travel to space.
D.To make space travel more comfortable for astronauts.
29、By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 3 best books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.
No Visible Bruises
By Rachel Louise Snyder
Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; family violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.
Midnight in Chernobyl
By Adam Higginbotham
Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid details and personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence (无能;不胜任) moves from mistake to mistake, as it builds to the history-changing misadventure.
Exhalation
By Ted Chiang
Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you. Each thoughtful story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through great areas.
【1】Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?
A.Disappearing Earth
B.No Visible Bruises
C.Midnight in Chernobyl
D.Exhalation
【2】How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?
A.Delighted.
B.Awkward.
C.Tense.
D.Calm.
【3】What kind of book is Exhalation?
A.A folk tale.
