5 . Advice 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 that I’ll talk about another day. So today I want to give you some advice about how to make the most of the time in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

Think ahead. I usually think cooking is a pain when I’m already hungry and there is 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. 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.

    4    This may surprise you, but one of the best ways to make cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well. 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 disappoint you and stop you from making some great changes in your life!

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.

6 . Where does the conversation probably take place?

A．At home.

B．In a bar.

C．In a restaurant.

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The two features of life in England that possibly give visitors the worst impressions are the English weather and English cooking.     1     former is a natural phenomenon that nobody can do anything about. But, cooking is something that can be learned. English food has often been described as       2     (taste). Recently, the situation has changed somewhat because many people have been spending their holidays abroad and     3     (learn) to appreciate unfamiliar dishes. One of the traditional complaints about English food is the way that vegetables     4     (cook). The only way that many British     5     (housewife) know to cook green vegetables is     6     (boil) them for long and then to throw the water away so that all the vitamins are lost. To make matters     7     (bad), they do not strain the vegetables sufficiently so that     8     appear as a wet mass on the plate. However, it would be unfair to say that all English food is bad. Indeed not only the raw ingredients are usually     9     high quality, especially the meat and the fish,     10     many traditional British dishes are as good as anything you can get anywhere. A visitor who is invited to an English home may well enjoy steak and kidney pudding or all sorts of smoked fish.

9 . Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.

Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.

When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.

If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
