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 whendicingtomatoes, 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.”

15、Tony never eats fish. This is not because he is allergic(过敏) to fish as food. He simply does not like the taste of it. You may not think this quite surprising, until I tell you that he has been a fisherman of one kind or another for most of his life.
At first, fishing was just a hobby. He used to sit on the river bank with his fishing rod(鱼竿) in his hand, waiting to feel the pull on the line. It meant a fish was trying to get the food from the hook(鱼钩). He wound(收回) the line as soon as possible and took the hook from the fish’s mouth, recorded its size in a notebook, then threw it back into the water.
Later, he used to go to sea on his friend’s fishing boat. Instead of throwing back the fish they caught, his friend took them home, where his wife cooked them or put them in the fridge for future meals.
Finally, Tony took a job on a large fishing boat. In their huge nets, they caught many fish at a time. Every time Tony found some small fish in the nets, he would say to himself: “How poor you are!” Again, Tony threw the small fish back into the sea.

16、One afternoon I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces(名作).
A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me chatted non—stop. I watched them for a moment and realized she was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so patient with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly. I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit.
