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’ 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，主要介绍了如何在忙碌的生活中享受烹调的乐趣的几条具体的建议，如提前做好规划，一次多做点，尝试一些新鲜的做法等。

【1】根据第一句中的ability, money and time可知人们不经常做饭有三个原因。下文的“Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.”和“…about how to make the most of the time…”谈及money和time，故本句谈的是ability的话题。故B符合上下文语境。

【2】根据本段内容可知作者建议提前思考，做好准备，再根据上文 “So think ahead of the coming week.”以及下面的问题可知我们要提前做好计划，准备好材料，这样可以节省很多时间和精力。故G项符合上下文语境。

【3】根据“It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.”可知一次再多做一点(与少做一点相比)花的时间差不多，再根据最后一句“So save yourself the effort for a future meal.”可知一次多做一点还可以为未来节省精力。故作者建议我们一次要多做一些，让我们的时间更有价值。故C正确。

【4】根据本段中的“It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.”可知它给了“我们”新的想法，新的菜谱。故作者在本段里建议我们要尝试新鲜事物。故A正确。

【5】作者建议我们在忙碌的生活里找到做饭的时间，因为做饭可以给我们带来很多的快乐。根据下文“…don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live！”可知，本句是指要让做饭成为生活中快乐的事情而不是负担。故F项符合上下文语境。
