阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C D )中,选出最佳选项。

Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However,not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man,except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know,for example,how long it lasted,but we presume that he attended the local grammar school,where the principal subject taught was Latin.

Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend,he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner,Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher,but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.

Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth,the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there,but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In_time,as he became familiar figure to the actors in the theatre,they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight紧凑的 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 advice on how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.

Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2

Make your time worth it. Make the most of your time and save it 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.

4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experiment. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas. 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 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.
