A [2019·张家港模拟改编]
Emily St. Denny is fifteen years old. She was born in Beijing, China, where her mother worked as a French teacher and her father taught English. When she was five years old, Emily and her family moved to Belgrade, SerbiA.When she was seven years old, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya, where her little sister was born. Two years later, her family moved to Hong Kong, where she attended a French international school. After five years, the family moved to France.
Emily's mother was born in France. Emily's father is American. Emily says her little sister is very French, like her mother. However, after living in so many places, Emily does not really know who she is. She says she feels more American than anything else, as English is her first language, but she has never lived there! Emily is a “Third Culture Kid(shortened to “TCK”)”.
This term was made up in the 1960s by doctors Ruth and John Useem. They used it to talk about the experience of mainly immigrant(移民) children growing up between two cultures: their culture of “origin”(or that of their parents), and the place they are presently living.
Today, TCK also refers to children who have travelled a lot and who are “culturally blended”. These are children who are familiar with many cultures, but not as familiar with their parents'.

1.Where was Emily St. Denny born?
2.Why does Emily feel more American?
3.What is TCK shortened for?
4.Who created the term TCK?

On Sunday I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I am thankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone(里程碑) event.
Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Grandma passed away 5 years ago. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds(环境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.
I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending time together as a family was obvious.
The basic process and recipe(菜谱) for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:
•The event takes place once a year.
•The sauce is made by the family for the year ahead.
•The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient. They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.
•The women prepare and make the sauce, but the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they begin the preparation. Once the sauce is cooked, it is lunchtime and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!
