   Tips for cooking on a tight schedule From my experience,there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often： ability,money and time.

1.      Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?

2.     

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?3.       It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3. 4.      This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

  Hopefully that gives you a good start.5.      Don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

   A. Try new things.

   B. Ability is easily improved.

   C. Make three or four instead.

   D. Understand your food better.

   E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

   F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

   G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

[文章大意]本文提出了如何在緊張的時(shí)間內(nèi)抽出時(shí)間來自己做飯的三個(gè)建議。

1. B考査上下文的理解能力�？涨耙痪涞囊馑际牵焊鶕�(jù)我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，人們不經(jīng)常做飯的三個(gè)主要原因是：能力、金錢和時(shí)間. 空后兩句的意思是：錢的問題我改天說。所以，今天我想給你們一些關(guān)于如何充分利用你在廚房的時(shí)間的聰明做法。所以這里選B (能力很容易提高。) 與上下文一致。

2. G考查上下文的理解能力。空前的意思是：提前一周想好。在有空的時(shí)候準(zhǔn)備好食材。所以這里選G (提前用一點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間來規(guī)劃未來可以節(jié)省以后的很多工作。) 與上下文一致。

3. C考查上下文的理解能力。本條建議是：讓時(shí)間用得值。比如，做面包時(shí)，做三、四個(gè)而不是一個(gè)，可以給自己節(jié)省以后的時(shí)間。空后的意思是：做一個(gè)和做三、四個(gè)面包所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間差不多，所以這里選C (做三個(gè)或四個(gè)而不是一個(gè)。) 與上下文一致。

4. A考查上下文的理解能力。空后的意思是：要敢于嘗試，這樣才會(huì)引起自己的食欲，才可以使自己用在做飯上的時(shí)間和努力值得。學(xué)得越多，嘗試越多，控制食材和時(shí)間的能力就會(huì)越強(qiáng)。"The more you learn and the more you try."”是很好的提示。所以這里選A (嘗試新事物。) 與上下文一致。

5. F考查上下文的理解能力�？涨暗囊馑际牵合Ｍ�這些建議能給你一個(gè)良好的開端�？蘸蟮囊馑际牵翰灰�讓繁忙的日程打消你為了吃飯和生活所做的一些大變化！所以這里選F (讓烹飪和生活成為一種快樂，而不是負(fù)擔(dān)。) 與上下文一致。
