I have always lved cking — it relaxes me，especially when I ck fr thers.A tp-chef career requires great passin，dedicatin，and hard wrk.Many chefs wrk fifteen-hur days，six days a week，in ht，nisy kitchens where precisin must be kept even under high pressure.
Shrtly after graduating frm the Prudy Cllege f Fd and Wine，I set my gal high：I sent my resume t every three-Michelin-star restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide that year.Befre lng，I gt a trial shift at ne f them.
The beginning was tugh.In a rush t plate dishes，I burned my arm n a ht pan.My knife skills were t slw fr the head chef，wh snapped， "Faster!This isn't fr grandma! "Anther night，with rders piling up，I nearly drpped a full tray f desserts.Exhausted，I began dubting if I was fit fr this wrld.
Yet I didn't give up.I practiced cutting techniques late each night，studied classic recipes until they became secnd nature，and trained myself t fcus n ne task at a time t keep calm.Slwly，I became faster and steadier.Eventually，the same strict chef gave a nd and said， "Better."
Lking back，I realize that aiming high is imprtant，but real grwth cmes frm pushing thrugh difficulties with hnesty and perseverance.Nw，whenever I speak t yung students，I tell them：fllw yur passin，but understand — success isn't just abut reaching the peak.True fulfillment lies in learning thrugh challenges and chsing a path that matches bth yur dreams and yur well-being.

Older peple are increasingly using the Internet t interact with key services.Separate figures fund that pensiners were the mst active users f the NHS app last year-with tw-thirds f users ver retirement age accessing the app within the mst recent three mnths f data-273，500 f whm were ver 80 years ld.

Authrs nce turned t fire t be rid f writing they didn't want the wrld t read.Terry Pratchett tk a slightly mre creative — and mdern — rute.He rdered that his hard drive be destryed after his death.The destryed drive is nw n display at England's Salisbury Museum
The extreme actin represents a new slutin t a questin that has trubled authrs，their families，and their publishers fr centuries：If an authr desn't want his r her wrk published after his r her death，must families and publishers cmply— even if they believe the wrk is valuable？ "Yu culd say that n the ne hand，an authr shuld enjy a kind f svereignty ver his r her unpublished material…，" says Paul Saint-Amur，a prfessr f humanities at the University f Pennsylvania.
But what abut the pssible lss t wrld culture？Franz Kafka，fr example，tld his friend Max Brd he wanted his unpublished wrks burned after his death.If Brd had dne s，Kafka's masterpieces The Trial and The Castle wuld have been destryed.Was Brd right nt t d s？
Smetimes an authr's desires are difficult t recgnize.The family f The Girl with the Dragn Tatt authr Stieg Larssn used anther writer t cmplete ne f his unfinished nvels.But Larssn's partner，Eva Gabrielssn，said Larssn wuld never have wanted that.T Kill a Mckingbird authr Harper Lee was alive but lder when her secnd wrk，G Set a Watchman，was released in 2015.Questins were raised as t whether this was really Lee's wish. （The Alabama Securities Cmmissin stated that it was.）
Smetimes a gd cmprmise can be waiting fr a perid f time befre publicatin.Prfessr Saint-Amur pints t De Prfundis，Oscar Wilde's 1897 letter t a male lver.The full text appeared in 1962 — lng after the letter's recipient and his family had died.Saint-Amur says， "I think that thse surface slutins can be elegant in that they recgnize the lng-term cultural interest in a wrk while als recgnizing that certain kinds f expressive wrks can be sensitive fr the living."
12.What des the underlined wrd "cmply" in Paragraph 2 mean？______
A. AttemptB. IgnreC. DenyD. Obey
13.What des the authr want t shw by using the example f Franz Kafka？______
A. It's hard t say if it's right t g against the authr.
B. Ging against the authr desn't d any gd.
C. The authr's wishes shuld be respected.
D. Nt all friends can be trusted.
14.Hw might Stieg Larssn feel abut his family's behavir accrding t Eva Gabrielssn？______
