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.______ 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.

Many people take it for granted(認(rèn)為…理所當(dāng)然) that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity．

However, that is not always the case．Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world?

In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning．People wear black clothes at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血)．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid, you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning．In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence．In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear．

Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾)．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical because both men wear red caps．Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker．

One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood"．But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair-skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue．

1.Yellow is concerned with anger in ______.

A．Russia B．Britain

C．China D． Germany

2.Both Britain and America would probably agree that ______.

A．a(chǎn) redcap is a porter in a station

B．black is the color of mourning

C．a(chǎn) black-coated worker is employed in an office

D．red stands for beauty and excellence

3.The best title for this passage is ______.

A．The Development of the Symbolic（象征性的）Use of Colors

B．The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors

C．Colors that Carry Bad Meanings

D．The Origin(起源) of Blue Blood

4.When some Spanish called themselves “blueblood”, they actually meant ______.

A．they had heart trouble and their faces looked blue

B．they had blue blood in their vessels

C．they were fair-skinned

D．they came from a noble family

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.

1.What do we know about Susan?

A. She lived a very happy life with her family.

B. She always wore a pretended smile on her face.

C. She had her own share of trouble in life.

D. She could overcome every difficulty in life.

2.What is Susan’s secret of happiness?

A. Carrying out your promise

B. Never wanting much in life

C. Depending on God

D. Brushing away your worries

3.Vicki used to _____.

A. get happiness from better –paying work

B. live a happy life in a big house

C. be at a loss as to what the real happiness was

D. enjoy the simple things in life

4.After hearing Susan’s words , Vicki ________.

A. sold her big house and quit job

B. changed her idea about happiness
