The founder of Chez Panisse, the California restaurant famous for launching the farm-to-table movement, certainly didnt plan to start a revolutio

19、n.Returning to the United States in 1965 after studying in France, Waters missed the delicious food and community of the little cafes where she spent most of her time. “The United States was a land of frozen food, so eating even just fresh bread and jam was an extremely pleasant surprise to me, says

20、 Waters. “And spending time in restaurants with friends it was very important to me.One day, an idea struck Waters that maybe her cooking and sense of community could help her make some money. Believing they could do anything, she and a group of friends raised money, found a house in Berkeley and op

21、ened a little restaurant called Chez Panisse in 1971.Most ingredients Waters could find were from industrial farms. They tasted totally different from the ones her parents planted during World War II and the ones she had enjoyed in France. Thus she began a search for suppliers who would grow good in

22、gredients.“I was looking for taste. And I couldnt find taste until I met the local organic farmers who were growing vegetables for flavor, Waters recalls. “I realized that I would be dependent on them for the success of my restaurant.At first, the finances were a disaster. If any of the ingredients

23、didnt taste right, chefs threw them out. Staff had to taste the wine to sell it. That meant thousands of dollars of wine disappeared on a regular basis. People who offered ingredients were given meals in trade.But Chez Panisse had lines out of the front door from the very first night. Waters sense o

24、f taste and her dedication to making the best food possible kept people coming back. It didnt take long for Chez Panisse to catch the attention of foodies (“吃货).

25、n America.Now 72, Waters is not content with staying at home and cooking in her kitchen. Last September, she flew to Washington D. C., to meet members of Congress to discuss the benefits of free lunch for all schoolchildren.Many people have called Waters unrealistic over the course of her 45-year fi

26、ght for good food. Nevertheless, her single-mindedness ended up sparking a farm-to-table movement. “She didnt start Chez Panisse to change the world, said Marion Nestle, a New York University nutrition professor. “But what she did was absolutely revolutionary.

30、To-TableC. The Recipe for Successful BusinessD. The Movement of Organic FoodCNeuroscientists have explained the risky, aggressive or just plain baffling behavior of teenagers as the product of a brain that is somehow compromised. Groundbreaking research in the past 10 years, however, shows that this

31、 view is wrong. The teen brain is not defective. It is not a half-baked adult brain, either. It has been forged by evolution to function differently from that of a child or an adult.The most important of the teen brains features is its ability to change in response to the environment by modifying th

32、e communication networks that connect brain regions. It allows teenagers to make enormous progress in thinking and socialization. But the change also makes them sensitive to dangerous behavior and serious mental disorders.The most recent studies indicate that the riskiest behaviors arise from a mism

33、atch between the maturation of networks in the limbic system(边缘系统), which drives emotions at adolescence, and the maturation of networks in the prefrontal cortex前额皮质, which occurs later and promotes sound judgment and the control of impulses.

34、 to change noticeably until his 20s. And yet adolescence seems to be starting earlier, extending the “mismatch years.The plasticity of networks linking brain regionsand not the growth of those regions, as previously thoughtis key to eventually behaving like an adult. Understanding that, and knowing

35、that a widening gap between the development of emotional and judgment networks is happening in young people today, can help parents, teachers, counselors and teenagers themselves. People will better see that behavior such as risk-taking and turning away from parents and toward peers are not signs of

36、 cognitive or emotional problems. They are a natural result of brain development, a normal part of adolescents learning how to negotiate with a complex world.The same understanding can also help adults decide when to intervene. A 15-year-old girls departure from her parents tastes in clothing, music

37、 or politics may be a source of anxiety for Mom and Dad but does not indicate mental illness. A 16-year-old boys tendency to skateboard without a helmet or to accept risky dares from friends is not unimportant but is more likely a sign of short-range thinking and peer pressure than a desire to hurt

38、himself. Knowing more about the unique teen brain will help all of us learn how to separate unusual behavior that is age-appropriate from that which might indicate illness. Such awareness could help society reduce the rates of teen addiction, motor vehicle accidents and depression. 28. What is the c
