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'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

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 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.

Answer 1

III. 1. B解析:根據(jù)第一空前的ability,money and time可知人們不經(jīng)常做飯有三個(gè)原 因�？蘸竺� Money is a topic I'll save for another day.和…about how to make the most of the time... ” 談到 money 和 time。 說(shuō)明本句談的是ability的話題。故B項(xiàng) 符合上下文語(yǔ)境。

2. G解析：本段標(biāo)題是Think ahead.也 就是說(shuō)要提前思考，做好準(zhǔn)備。本段第 三句 So think ahead of the coming week.也說(shuō)明“我們”要提前做好計(jì)劃， 準(zhǔn)備好材料，這樣可以節(jié)省很多時(shí)間和 精力。故G項(xiàng)符合上下文語(yǔ)境。

3. C解析:本段的標(biāo)題是Make your time worth it.(要讓你的時(shí)間有價(jià)值。) 根據(jù) 空后的 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.可 知一次多做一點(diǎn)兒不會(huì)花太多的時(shí)間。 再根據(jù)本段最后一句So save yourself the effort for a future meal.可知一次多 做一點(diǎn)兒，還可以為未來(lái)節(jié)省精力。故 作者是在建議“我們”一次不要只做一兩 片，而是要多做一些，以使“我們”的時(shí)間 價(jià)值更高。故C項(xiàng)正確。

4. A 解析：根據(jù)本段It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appe-tite and schedule.可知作者在本段里建 議“我們”要嘗試新鮮事物。故A項(xiàng) 正確。

5. F解析:作者在前面建議“我們”在忙 碌的生活里找到做飯的時(shí)間，因?yàn)樽鲲?可以給“我們”帶來(lái)很多的快樂�？蘸蟮� And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great chan-ges in the way you eat and live!可知本 句是指要讓做飯成為生活中快樂的事情 而不是負(fù)擔(dān)。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文。
