八、(2026·南通市如东实验中学月考)阅读表达。(10分)
16-year-old Pat Tulloch has a different hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yoghurt(酸奶) with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father's workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some cheese herself for the first time. "It wasn't great at the beginning," she says, "but the workers told me what I was doing wrong. I tried hard day and night, and I slowly get better."
Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn't have to buy it. Her parents keep about 100 cows on the farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year, Pat's neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it didn't produce milk to make cheese yet.
Pat's next idea is to post some recipes(烹饪法) for cooking with cheese on the internet, such as having cheese with eggs for breakfast. She also thinks that people can eat cheese with pasta(意大利面). "I hope a restaurant might buy some one day," she says. But right now Pat is still at school. "Making cheese is fun and winning a prize for it is great, but doing well in my studies is more important now."
