2 . By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.

3 . 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.
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?
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?
Hopefully that gives you a good start.
| 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. |
| Almond (杏仁) Fried Rice What you need ●4 cups of cooked rice, cold ●1 teaspoon of salt ●half a cup of almonds ●3 slices of cooked ham ●1 cup of vegetable oil ●chopped onions ●4 eggs ●1 tablespoon of soy sauce | Fresh Crab (螃蟹) with Ginger Sauce What you need ●1 large crab ●1 tablespoon of water ●1 large piece of fresh ginger ●3 or 4 tablespoons of chopped green onions ●1 clove of garlic |
| What you do 1. First, use a wet of fork to stir (搅拌) the rice and separate the grains. Next, cut the almonds and the ham into long, thin pieces. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the almonds in it until they turn light brown. Then drain the oil from the almonds. 2. Now break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them. 3. Heat the oil again and pour in the eggs, stirring all the time. Add the rice and salt. Fry the rice and stir so that the eggs coat the rice grains. Continue frying for five minutes before adding the ham, onions and soy sauce. Mix and stir all the time. 4. Sprinkle (撒) the almonds over the rice and serve. | What you do 1. Wash and scrub the crab thoroughly. Then put the whole crab into a big pot ready for steaming (蒸). 2. Get the ginger ready next. Wash it, peel it, and shred it. Sprinkle it on top of the crab. Crush the garlic and put that on the crab, too. Pour the water over the crab. 3. Steam everything in the pot for about 20 minutes. Just before you take it off the heat, sprinkle the green onions on top. Steam it for another 3 minutes. 4. Now you can serve it.

Everyone has many first-time experience and so do I. Now I’d like share with you the first time I tried cooking by myself. One Sunday my parents go out. I felt hungry at the noon, so I decided to cook for myself. I tried to cook some vegetables, so the pot caught fire where I put some oil into it. Lucky, my mother came back and helped me put off the fire. Although my first cooking did not success, I felt proud of myself. It was the start of try something new. Now I’ve become quite a good cook.
6 . Anyone can cook, but there is more to cooking than simply throwing things together and hoping for the best.
When shopping for fresh produce or meats, be certain to take the time to ensure that the colors, and quality of the food you buy are the best. You should also try to stick to cooking with foods that are currently in season, as that is when they taste their best.
Season your food with salt and pepper.
Include mixed textures in your meals.
Use butter in your cooking.
Butter adds a delicious, creamy, slightly nutty flavor to food and should be featured heavily in many types of cooking and baking. Use butter anytime a recipe calls for it, and even sometimes when it doesn’t! Butter can be used as a cooking media, where it both adds and strengthens the natural flavors.
| A．It can be used as the base for sauces. |
| B．Use fresh things whenever possible. |
| C．You have to understand basic cooking terms and techniques. |
| D．Adding the right amount of salt and pepper is the easiest thing. |
| E．If you’re uncertain about quantities, the best thing you can do is taste! |
| F．Some of the most enjoyable dishes include a combination of different textures. |
| G．If you are new at it, learning how to cook might seem like a difficult task to take on. |

8 . Alex Vardkostas spent his child flipping (快速翻转) burgers at his parent’s restaurant in Southern California. It was, he recalls, a repetitive and uninteresting task.
Vardkostas said, “Making so many burgers every day, I realized that there must be a better product I can create to make food. ”He helped develop the restaurant’s main attraction: a robot machine that makes “the world’s freshest cheeseburgers”.
The machine has already drawn big crowds. People want to see exactly how a robot makes a burger and whether it tastes good. The robot is 14-foot long and takes five minutes to make a delicious burger.
After seeing the robot in action, one customer, Evan, was almost speechless. “I knew that they could drive cars,” he said, “but i didn’t know that robots could make a delicious burger.”
The robot’s 350 Sensors (传感器) and 20 microcomputers help make sure that every burger is perfect. The materials are organic and locally sourced (寻找……的来源) whenever possible, but the burgers are still affordable (负担得起的). Because a machine makes the burgers, the restaurant doesn’t have to pay kitchen staff (职员). Employees focus on offering e customer good service.
Besides, the restaurant offers its employees higher pay than the ordinary standard in the food industry. Staff members are able to read books for five percent of their workday so that they can continue to learn. Money is allotted (分配) for books, and more educational opportunities are being planned.
For Evan, the most important thing is still the burger. “The restaurant’s robot is the perfect chef,” he said, “because a person can make mistakes but a robot can’t.”
