题目内容

A woman Vicki once knew a young person named Susan at church. Susan always seemed happy, although Vicki knew she had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce, but her whole face seemed to smile.

One day Vicki asked Susan,“How is it that you are always so happy, you have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?”

With her eyes smiling, Susan said,“I know the secret!”

“What secret is that? What are you talking about?”Vicki asked.

Susan replied,“The secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don’t need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that secret, I am happy.”

Vicki thought first, “That’s too simple!” But upon reflecting over her own life, she remembered how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better-paying job would make her happy, but it didn’t. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, this is a simple gift from God.

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:

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.

Students Union

Yucai High School

 

When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生). John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.

About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.”

John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”

From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!

1.According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John’s ______.

A. PE marks B. self-confidence

C. interest in sports D. state of health

2.Why did John take part in the track team?

A. He had been an excellent runner.

B. He was encouraged by his teacher.

C. He liked running more than tennis.

D. He had no tennis coach to train him.

3.The purpose of this passage is probably ______.

A. to build a close teacher-student relationship

B. to introduce a new way of sports training

C. to explain the value of sports and games

D. to show the importance of encouragement

4.The passage is mainly written for ______.

A. teachers B. parents

C. students D. players

 

I suffered from _____ terrible cold that day and my friends told me to go to _____ doctor’s after work.

A. 不填; the B. a; the
