Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule(紧密的日程)

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. _______ 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 ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do

you have the right materials ready?_________

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? _________ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3._________ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation(尝试). It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes(食谱) 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. _________ 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.

As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more?In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.

“When I’m writing with a pen,I find I often can’t remember how to write a character,though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting,people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities,some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

Ants are troublesome, best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics. But, a new species of crazy ant is taking over Texas. In some ways they appear to be worse than fire ants and there's no good way to stop them* These ants move fast and are plentiful in some areas.

The crazy ants first sprang in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of a problem ever since.“An invasion of these can be so extreme that it's hard to call it just a nuisance," University of Texas entomologist Edward LeBrun told The Austin American-tatesman. “The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions, appliances and other electronic devices. No one is entirely sure why," He said.

David Oi , a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture, told The New York Times in 2013, the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself can't be ruled out.

The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep, that's actually what they are called-are found in 23 Texas counties. The ants have very little venom(毒液), but do cause a slight sting when they bite. Mostly, though, they're a hazard to electrical equipment.

They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control or kill the population. And, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much that can be done about them right now. So, for the moment, the best advice is not to stay close to ant piles and groups. and hope that none make it inside to crawl around the electronics.

1.What do the ants do in Texas?

A. Bite some people. B. Damage local crops.

C. Destroy appliances. D. Pollute environment.

2.The underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to " ”.

A. story B. problem

C. visit D. failure

3.When meeting with ant piles, we'd better .

A. kill them all B. control them

C. drive them away D. stay away from them

4.What can we know from the text ?

A. The crazy ants first. appeared in Texas in 2013.

B. The crazy ants cause huge loss to the people in Texas.

C. The government is taking measures to deal with the ant.

D. David Oi is sure why the ants ruin electronic devices.
