《2025年拔尖特训九年级英语上册译林版》

B(2023·泰州) ★★
Now， primary students learn cooking at school. It has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students， while others think it's a waste of time. Some even think it's just a show. But do they really understand cooking?
It's been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it's much more than that. When talking about different foods from all around the world， or cultures and histories of dishes， students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. When learning cooking， students measure(称量) materials from time to time， or find oil and water don't usually mix. Students are also learning Maths and Science in practice…
The importance of failures in making food is as much as successes. Li Mei， 11， was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out， she was frustrated(沮丧的) to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her that when he was 13， he tried to make cakes， but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with Father， Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned from the failure of cooking， and could be braver to face failures.
Apart from the practical skills， cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good for our health， carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them.
By cooking， students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking， students form the habit of doing labour work. As a part of labour education， cooking is a way to teach kids vital 21st century skills， such as creativity and teamwork. If these skills aren't taught to today's students， they might hardly survive in the future.
