   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.      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.

[文章大意]本文提出了如何在紧张的时间内抽出时间来自己做饭的三个建议。

1. B考査上下文的理解能力。空前一句的意思是:根据我的经验,人们不经常做饭的三个主要原因是:能力、金钱和时间. 空后两句的意思是:钱的问题我改天说。所以,今天我想给你们一些关于如何充分利用你在厨房的时间的聪明做法。所以这里选B (能力很容易提高。) 与上下文一致。

2. G考查上下文的理解能力。空前的意思是:提前一周想好。在有空的时候准备好食材。所以这里选G (提前用一点儿时间来规划未来可以节省以后的很多工作。) 与上下文一致。

3. C考查上下文的理解能力。本条建议是:让时间用得值。比如,做面包时,做三、四个而不是一个,可以给自己节省以后的时间。空后的意思是:做一个和做三、四个面包所花费的时间差不多,所以这里选C (做三个或四个而不是一个。) 与上下文一致。

4. A考查上下文的理解能力。空后的意思是:要敢于尝试,这样才会引起自己的食欲,才可以使自己用在做饭上的时间和努力值得。学得越多,尝试越多,控制食材和时间的能力就会越强。"The more you learn and the more you try."”是很好的提示。所以这里选A (尝试新事物。) 与上下文一致。

5. F考查上下文的理解能力。空前的意思是:希望这些建议能给你一个良好的开端。空后的意思是:不要让繁忙的日程打消你为了吃饭和生活所做的一些大变化!所以这里选F (让烹饪和生活成为一种快乐,而不是负担。) 与上下文一致。

  Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!It speaks 1       than words. According to specialists,our bodies send out more 2       than we realize.

  In our world today,the media and entertainment industries are constantly focusing on beauty over brains. Movies,television shows,commercials,and magazines all make use of models and actors whose physical attributes (特性) will sell their product.

  As our country is trying to reduce the obesity numbers,eating disorder statistics continue to increase due to the push for thinner people. While obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to many health problems,many of us try to lose weight for appearance purposes. Children as young as elementary school age have begun to worry about the numbers that appear on the scale. In my opinion,it seems that “fat” has become the new “ugly”.

  Two weeks ago,37-year-old Wisconsin television reporter Livingston,who is 235 pounds,received an e-mail from a man named Krause. In the e-mail Krause attacked her,writing, “Your physical condition hasn’t improved for many years. Surely you don’t consider yourself a suitable example for this community’s young people,girls in particular. ”

  Today,it seems that a vast majority of people care more about how they look and appear to their peers rather than what is inside. The truth is that every person is built differently;we all come in different shapes and sizes. Just because someone is heavier,that doesn’t mean they eat large amounts of junk food around the day. Likewise,even though a person is thin,that doesn’t mean they are necessarily healthy and fit.

  If you are reading this and you struggle with your weight or your appearance,please recognize that you are beautiful and special in your own way. You are worth so much more than you realize,and even if I don’t know you,understand that I respect and support you. Beauty is not defined by size;it is defined by how we treat others and respect ourselves. In the words of the talented film actress Kirstie Alley, “There’s a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are. ”

(   ) 1. With so many people losing weight,it will end in     

   A. models’ and actors’ appearance in ads

   B. the fall of media and entertainment industries

   C. more and more people becoming obese

   D. more people’s suffering from eating disorder

(   ) 2. The underlined phrase “the numbers that appear on the scale” in the second paragraph may mean“     

   A. intelligence   B. weight

   C. patience   D. strength

(   ) 3. The writer used the example of Livingston to show    

   A. people think “fat” looks ugly

   B. fat people are becoming cleverer

   C. her physical condition is good

   D. young people never follow examples

(   ) 4. What Kirstie Alley said means    .

   A. people should pay attention to the appearance

   B. there is no need for any people to go on a diet

   C. people are beautiful when they concern others

   D. there’s always someone who understands and supports you
