训练4　2阅读理解＋阅读填空＋语法填空 (建议用时45分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I’m a single mummy blogger.I had been unemployed since November 2011，and eventually started to cook for myself and my three-year-old son on an extremely low budget last summer. I wrote on my blog back in July 2012，in a post titled Hunger Hurts，that poverty is the sinking and choking feeling when your two-year-old son finishes his one bowl of porridge and says，“Can I have some more please，Mummy？” With only ￡ 6 a week，I started to work out my meals.A carrot and bean soup，the carrot，cumin (土茴香籽)and bean hamburger，and onion pasta sauce(意大利面酱)．I began to post the recipes on my blogs.Then the Sure Start Children’s Centre referred me to my local food_bank for help.As a result，I could write more recipes with 4 more pounds a week to buy more materials.The response was unbelievable.People struggling financially said how much it helped to see recipes made using basic ranges from supermarkets. There was also criticism.People called my costings dishonest，because “you can’t buy half an onion”．I’ve explained that I’ll use one half for lunch in a soup，and the other half for dinner.Then there’s the ￡ 3.48 bottle of red wine I put in my dishes.In fact that bottle lasted well over a month.Apparently，that’s still extravagant(奢侈的)． I’ve never sold it as an ideal life—simply how I dealt with mine.Something had to change，so I changed it，and I wrote about it. Life has taken unexpected turns.I have spoken in Parliament (议会) on food poverty，and been interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks.Penguin has signed me to write a book.Readers keep asking if I will still live on such a tight budget.Surely yes because I will never forget the tears and happiness I have gone through. 1．What kind of person is the author?
