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. Ability is easily improved.__ 【1】__. 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's nothing ready to eat. _【2】__When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

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】_ Make three or four instead. 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.

_【5】__ Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. 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. Understand your food better.

C. Are you making one loaf of bread?

D. So think ahead of the coming week.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. Money is a topic I'll save for another day.

G. I do hope that gives you a good cooking start.

试题分析： 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何在忙碌的生活中享受烹调的乐趣的几条具体的建议，如提前做好规划，一次多做点，尝试一些新鲜的做法等。

【1】考查上下文和句意理解。根据第一句中的ability, money and time可知人们不经常做饭有三个原因。上文的“ability, money, and time. Ability is easily improved..”和下文的“…about how to make the most of the time…”谈及ability和time，故本句谈的是money的话题。故选F。

【2】考查上下文和句意理解。根据本段开头的Think ahead.和下文的When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.可知只有D符合语境。故选D。

【3】考查上下文和句意理解。根据“It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.”可知一次再多做一点(与少做一点相比)花的时间差不多，再根据下一句“Make three or four instead..”可知C符合语境。故选C。

【4】考查上下文和句意理解。根据本段中的“It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.”可知它给了“我们”新的想法，新的菜谱。故选A。

【5】 考查上下文和句意理解。根据下文“Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live！”可知作者的确希望所提建议将会让你好好开始做饭。故选G.。
