The Special and the OrdinaryBIt was a dinner party from hell（地狱）Not because of the lovely guests The problem was that they were all experts in cooking And they were all waiting for a pudding（布丁）I had cooked for them I lifted my spoon high above the poached（水煮）peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach Instead the spoon bent at the neck The fruit was hard， even though it had been cooked for an hour It was my stupid mistake Over the past two years or so， I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs （厨师） I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me Little did I know what I was letting myself in for The starter was a French onion pie Its a classic dish and would be a test of my skills And its the only cooked starter I know how to do Next， the main course My wife suggested doing the lamb（羔羊肉）thing firstI agreedIt s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat， its still a pleasure The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread， tomatoes， olives and so on The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink， which fortunately it did As to the pudding， I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability？ With all good dinner parties， as with the best restaurants， the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my hosts generosity And the food？ As it happens， it was really rather good-should have had a cheese course though And the plates could have been hotter4.

In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through， Israels fish farmers began to lose tons of fish Some farms were even forced to close their business Something had to be done The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully How could it stop 75，000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel？ It decided this was not possible It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water，and provided money for local farmers to buy food， which they fed to the pelicans The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food Its a solution that seems to have worked At one point，it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money One criticism （批评） was that with so much food， the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive However， there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight， and tourism can bring new income to the country8.

UnconcernedDNo one can deny （否认）that LeBron James gets paid a lot of money -but no one can deny that he hasnt earned it either Hes broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson Hes a talent（天才） Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to - training， traveling， and pushing themselves to the limit And while their lives may seem glamorous， think about this ： Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing In fact，many retired（退休的） athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a result of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle The toll （代价）a professional athletes career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain （and medical bills）； it also means a short career Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are able to play Without the showstopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry， many jobs wouldnt exist Sports reporters，stadium workers，cheerleaders，and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment It may seem unfair that athletes get paid to play a game， but remember who they are really playing for：us Were the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games，who crowd around the television to cheer them on，and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins The work of professional athletes certainly pays off for us Shouldnt it pay off for them too？12.
