After fur years at university, my 21-year-ld sn returned hme and cntinued his nline studies. During his time living independently, he develped a passin fr cking, fcusing n meals rich in meat, fat, starches, garlic, and spices. While his brther enjys these dinners, my husband and I quietly add rasted vegetables t balance ur diet. Mstly, we’re grateful that smene else is cking and that the fd is delicius.
At his age I had never lived n my wn. My grandmther and mther cntrlled the kitchen, and my ne attempt at cking a family meal ended badly, leaving my grandmther sick fr days. Determined t d things differently, I encuraged my children t use the kitchen independently, hping they wuld grw up enjying cking rather than fearing it as I had.
It wrked. My yungest sn is nw a passinate and careful ck, thugh the kitchen is always a mess after he’s dne. T keep him cmpany, I recently ffered t be his sus-chef while he prepared anther amazing meal. This als gave me a precius pprtunity t spend time with him, as hanging ut with parents is n lnger his pririty.
As we cked tgether, he directed me with requests like, “Can yu crack a cuple f eggs int a bwl?” and “Please stir the sugar and rice vinegar.” After each task, I respnded with, “Yes, Chef!” Over time, I realized that every “Yes, Chef!” was my way f saying, “I lve yu.” When the family sat dwn t eat, I praised his cking, and he quietly replied, “Thank yu, sus-chef.” That simple respnse was all the cmfrt I needed.

Whether yu want t assess yur hrmne (荷尔蒙) levels r heart health, find ut why yu’re tired all the time r get a general wellness prfile, increasing numbers f at-hme self-testing tls are prmising t help. Often, these are marketed as a flexible way f taking cntrl f yur persnal health.
Self-diagnsis tests are flding the market. “Many cnsumers are using them because they’re accessible, because it can take weeks t get a dctr’s appintment, and they might be denied the test they want,” says Patti Shih, a scilgist.
Althugh sme self-tests might be useful, there are a range f prblems assciated with using them, such as lack f medical guidance. Dctrs will lk at a patient’s medical histry and assess symptms befre deciding n the apprpriate methd f diagnsis. They will als fllw up and interpret any results. But with self-testing, all f that may be missing.
Others might give accurate results but still wn’t be particularly helpful. Even sme f them aren’t backed by science. Fr example, sme cmpanies market saliva (唾液) tests as a way t detect hrmnal issues. Hwever, scientific evidence shws that saliva tests are nt reliable, as they d nt accunt fr the cmplex interactins between hrmnes in the bdy.
Shih has been studying YuTube influencers wh prmte self-diagnsis. Her cncerns include misleading infrmatin, the risk f ver-testing, and that self-testing may lead t unnecessary use f nn-evidence-based supplements and treatments that carry health risks. “Perhaps mst cncerning are the cancer self-tests being marketed and sld in the US. These claim t detect ver 50 types f cancer befre symptms have ccurred.” she added.
Largely thanks t advances in diagnstic technlgy and digital health, in the US alne, sales f direct-t-cnsumer tests increased frm $15 millin in 2010 t $1.15 billin in 2022. Self-testing isn’t likely t g away, s experts are calling fr better regulatin and fr patients t have clearer infrmatin abut when testing is recmmended and when it is nt.
8. Why d peple chse self-testing tls?
A. They can assess hrmne levels accurately.
B. They can replace prfessinal medical advice.
C. They are effective in cntrlling disease prcess.
D. They are superir in availability and flexibility.
9. What d the third and furth paragraphs mainly discuss?
A. The wide ppularity f self-testing.B. Sme failed cases abut self-testing.
C. The assciated prblems f self-testing.D. Sme scientific dubts abut self-testing.
10. What is Shih’s biggest cncern?
A. Misuse f untested supplements.B. Prmtin f s-called cancer self-tests.
C. Misleading infrmatin frm sales markets.D. Hidden risks f t much self-testing at hme.
11. What suggestin d the experts give fr self-testing?
A. Self-testing shuld be managed intensively.
B. Cnsumers shuld stp self-testing immediately.
C. Cmpanies shuld tackle all prblems in diagnstic technlgy.
D. The gvernment shuld make self-testing affrdable t cnsumers.

In a smart piece f rebranding, what used t be knwn as “secnd-hand”, “used” r perhaps even “junk” has nw becme recycled. Ikea is the latest t jump n the bandwagn. The Swedish furniture giant said it was rlling ut its secnd-hand marketplace fr recycled furniture acrss Spain and Nrway after successful trials in Madrid and Osl, and if that wrks, it may sn be expanded glbally. Other cmpanies such as Zara and Leg are als ffering secnd-hand marketplaces. Mre may jin them.
The recycled ecnmy is bming and it’s easy t understand why. Custmers care much mre abut sustainability than they used t and recycling is a lt better fr the envirnment than fast fashin. It’s typically a lt cheaper, enabling peple t buy things they wuld nt be able t affrd. And fr retailers, it makes sense t keep custmers n their website fr secnd-hand stuff.
Hwever, there are tw big prblems. T start with, the recycled market is typically limited t very high-quality prducts. The ther truble is that the recycled market is nt likely t prve as lucrative as cmpanies and investrs seem t think it will be. With shipping and returns t pay fr it, it’s ging t be hard t make significant prfits. Plus, anything frm Ikea r Zara was pretty cheap t begin with, s by the time yu reduce the price fr the secnd-hand versin, it is selling fr next t nthing.
Next peple dn’t want t pay as much fr “recycled” furniture r clthes as they d fr an item that is being lved fr the very first time. Otherwise, yu might as well just buy the new ne. What we’re lking at here is a small market and nthing mre. The recycled market may be getting a lt mre lve than it deserves if sme effective measures are taken.
12. Why des the recycled ecnmy cme t its spring era?
A. Fast fashin trend has been ut f date.
B. Luxury brands are less fascinating than befre.
C. Custmers can affrd t buy brand-new furniture.
D. Recycled prducts are sustainable and budget-friendly.
13. What des the underlined wrd “lucrative” prbably mean?
A. Advanced.B. Prfitable.C. Cmpetitive.D. Appealing.
14. What will the fllw-up paragraph prbably talk abut?
A. The develpment f the recycled market.
B. The measures t imprve the recycled market.
C. The necessity f expanding recycled gds range.
D. The advantages f buying new furniture and clthes.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The rigin f “recycled” cncept.B. The imprtance f sustainability.
C. The bm in “recycled” gds.D. The decline f “recycled” markets.
