Module 3 课下能力提升(十二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Lilly and Audrey are younger than most cookbook authors. But they have been developing their kitchen skills for more than half their lives. When they had just learned to walk, they loved to hang out in the kitchen while their parents cooked dinner. At age 5, they made their first dish without help: pumpkin muffins.
Audrey can still remember the way the muffins rose in the oven (烤箱), the painful wait for them to cool and the sweetness of the freshmade treats. “It was super exciting to make something so delicious almost all on our own,” she says.
Their parents are not very skilled at cooking, so Lilly and Audrey turned to other people for cooking advice. Auspiciously,_they live in Sonoma, California, an area that is known for its farms and restaurants. One local cook gave the twins (双胞胎) lessons on cooking techniques, such as how to use knives; those classes taught Lilly and Audrey how to use kitchen tools safely.
