A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking.

“Some nights I’m up until 1 a.m. making pies, or even later if we’re braising (蒸) beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and elly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them thank-you gifts until the two decided to give to charity .

“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小物件),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a Chicago-based nonprofit. It aims to teach kids in poor communities(社区) to cook and make healthy eating choices.

The young cooks ask their guests to donate however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 (9,843 yuan) to the charity.

Now they’re taking their show out of Lanster’s parents’ kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model the host pays for ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.

Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He has learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.

21. How is Lanster’s life different from other teenagers’ lives? A. He stays up late to finish homework. B. He plays baseball every day after school. C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.

A recent study of ancient and modern elephant has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct species The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard University when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna(热带草原) elephant.

Once they obtained DNA sequences（序列）from two fossils, mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.

The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The separation of the two species took place around the time of the separation of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.

There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.

Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different
