She even labeled(贴标签)everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.

The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived.

However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing.

They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless.

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 Im already hungry and theres 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?722. 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?73It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 74This 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.75And dont 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.第二部分：完形填空（共20 题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）A strong wind was blowing hard，thunder was rumbling(雷声隆隆地响)，and lightning flashed across the dark skyRain was _16_down：it looked as if heaven had been broken open.Gleams(微弱的闪光) of light appeared from windows offaraway houses, _17_ like jewels in all the darkA_18_woman dressed in rags and trembling with cold was _19_on a lonely road，while the merciless rain was_20_ her without pauseShe knocked at a door，and a_21_ answered itShe begged him to let her stay a while_22_ The boy then let her into the sitting room and_23_ her sitting by the fireThe woman_24_ old and tired under the bright electric light，_25_she was only in her early thirtiesShe sat_26_ for a moment，and then her eyes began to look about the _27_ When her wandering eyes rested on the picture of a young man，she_28_ up，looking thunderstruckJust then，the boy came with his_29_The man at once recognized the woman as his _30_ They had_31_touch with each other during the war，and he thought he had lost her forever_32_words needed to be spoken.
