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.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何在有限的时间里做一顿好饭。 答案：

1．B 根据上下文语境，上文提到不做饭的原因有三个，能力、金钱与时间，并分别对金钱与时间作了讲述，故空处应简单叙述能力，故选B项。

2．G 本段主题句think ahead，相关句子只有G项，“花一点时间提前计划可以节省后面的很多工作”。

3．C 根据上下文语境。上文“你在制作一条面包吗”下文“多做一点花差不多同样的时间”，可知空处应该填C项，“制作三、四条吧。”

4．A 空处是本段主题句。由本段内容可知介绍多尝试新的菜谱和新的想法，这样能力会越来越高。故选A项。

5．F 根据上下文语境。由下文不要让忙碌打消你在饮食生活方面改变一下的乐趣。所以空处应该是F项，让饮食生活成为一种乐趣而不是负担。

Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：

2．C 上一句话意为：无论是什么季节，戴太阳镜是非常重要的。可知，空格处应该意为：太阳镜会保护你的视力。

4．A 本段说的是饮食对于保护眼睛的重要性，故此处填A项。

Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information

Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __1__ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __2__ Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. __3__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.__4__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．

__5__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A．Make choices that are right for you. B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C．Be sure to work through the critical questions. D．And examine the findings of the original research.

E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view. G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

文章大意：有关个人健康信息的来源由许多，应该如何对这些信息进行正确评价，得到真正对自己合理有用的信息，本文给出了几个有用的途径。

答案：

1. G 前面连续有几个how to...提出的问题，下面四段都是几个建议，所以此处应该用一个句子过渡，说明下面将要给出几个建议。

2．D 文章第二段说的是要“查看原始材料”，所以D项当中的original是关键词，应该“考虑一下研究成果的类型，并应检查原始研究的调查报告”。

3．F 文章第三段的建议是要当心语言的误导。结合本文，这里的语言误导是指因为某种语言的描述导致对于结果的错误的理解。“某个过程并不意味着一定会导致某个结果(this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result)”，信息也有可能因为作者观点的原因被错误的解读，故选F项。

4．B 由空格前面的句子“Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.”可知此处应选B项，说明为什么要当心包含广告的信息。

5．A “朋友和家庭成员可以是看法和激励的巨大(信息)来源，但我们每个人都应该找到适合我们自己的健康的生活方式”，所以，本段的主题是“作出对自己正确的选择”。
