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:

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. 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 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.

No one wants to be tested. We would all like to get a driver’s license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam. 

But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a. constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off.

They tell teachers what their students have learned–and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort. 

It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children

were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language. 

 This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. 

  In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are

increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. 

   Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate 

from high school.

1.According to the passage, school exams enable ______. 

A. governments to make right policies have made efforts

B. students to meet their teachers’ requirements

C. teachers to understand if their students

D. parents to compare their kids’ behavior across schools

2.”Dumbed – down programs” in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which       .

A. lead to high-quality education  

B. are less academically challenging

C. are intended for intelligent students        

D. enable children to make steady progress

3.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A. Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests. 

B. Tests should focus on what students have actually learned. 

C. Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high – quality education. 

D. Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones. 

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To re-assess the value of IQ testing. 

B. To defend the role of testing in education. 

C. To explain what high-quality education means. 

D. To call for thorough and complete reform in education.
