Tips for Cooking on a Tight（紧凑的） 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 advice on how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.

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】

Make your time worth it. Make the most of your time and save it 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.

【4】 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experiment. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas. 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 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.

【2】G

【3】C

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】

现代生活中人们不经常做饭。但是做饭对我们的生活有很好的影响。本文中提出了一些在紧凑的时间表里做饭的建议。

【1】B 根据后句Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some advice on how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen提到了money和 time。只有ability没有叙述。又根据横线前面的句子From my experience, there are three main reasons for why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time.与之有关的只有带有ability这一信息了，所以选择B项。

【2】G 根据本段中心思想Think ahead.预先思考。根据此段开头的关键词ahead，可以判断出此段与ahead有关，所以答案为G项 “A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.” 提前计划可以节省后来的很多工作。

【3】C 根据横线前句Are you making one loaf of bread? 可以判断出要make one loaf of bread那就是与数量有关，根据后一句It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.在同样的时间里可以做出更多的东西。所以应该选择C项。

【4】A根据It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.这两句，提到了new ideas和try 可以判断出要尝试新鲜事物，也就是要与new有关，所以选择A项。

【5】 F本段是全文的总结，根据最后一句And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!不要让忙碌阻止你的生活方式产生变化。要让做饭成为快乐的事情而不是负担。所以选择F项。
