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. and 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．

Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighting were necessary for forests to maintain（保持）balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．

In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control．The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park．In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined．rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser（噴泉）Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently．

1.Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were __________

A． hard to put out

B． started by lightning

C． good for the balance of nature

D． approved by National Park Service

2.The big fire in Yellowstone in 1988 __________．

A． became out of control at first

B． brought the natural burn policy to an end

C． was allowed to burn continuously

D． destroyed the park completely

3.Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?

A． Because winds were blown from high places．

B． Because the animals moved only ten miles a day．

C． Because the animals lived in lower places．

D． Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot．

4.Yellowstone was famous for its _________．

A． rare animals

B． unique plants

C． beautiful scenery

D． 1ittle streams

5.The text probably comes from _________．

Frederick M．Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues．He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall．They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.

Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job．But now things have changed．For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime．Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation．They offer no more than seven consecutive(連續(xù)的) weeks of vacation．Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks．To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families．In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom．Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works．For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break．Someone must watch the kids.

But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement．Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.

A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work．Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons．Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts．Summer vacation can be a grand thing．But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
