In the Ituri rain forest in America live many different tribes (部落), one of 1 is Pygmy. Most of the Pygmies are not taller than four feet. They 2 only about eighty pounds each. In spite of their small size, they are the best 3 among all the jungle people. Even the great elephant can be 4 by them. They can shoot three or four arrows so 5 that often the last one leaves the bow 6 the first has hit its mark. If an arrow should miss its 7, the impatient Pygmy may become very angry, 8 his arrows and step on them.
Since they do not plant any crops, Pygmies are 9 moving around. They seldom sleep in one camp for more than a few days. In their camps there is no 10 at all except some weapons (武器) such as spears, bows, and arrows. There are 11 cooking pots either. Food is eaten 12 or smoked over a fire. So when the tribe moves to a new camp there is 13 to carry except their weapons and babies too small to walk.
Pygmies can move on the trees almost as skillfully as 14. Often they travel great distances through the branches without 15 the ground.
One of the 16 facts about the small men and women is their appetite (胃口). A Pygmy can 17 sixty bananas at a single meal 18 quantities of meat. After eating, they will 19 on their hard earth bed and groan all night. But in the morning, they are ready to eat the same amount of food all over again.
In spite of the 20 life, Pygmies are almost always good-natured and helpful. They seldom lie, steal or fight among themselves.

I recalled one of my earliest memory of baking. I always sit at the kitchen table when my mom baked, and I had observed my process many times. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough (面团) with my hands too much but I made a mess in the kitchen. As my mom arrived at home, the smell of fresh baked bread welcomed her. She praised me for my attempt, instead of blame me for the state of the kitchen. What surprise it was! That night she told my dad how pleasing she was, and what a good job I'd done. It is the most wonderful experience which always reminds me of my childhood.

Dear Mary,
I’m writing to asking for your advices on how to get along with my roommate Rose. I find really difficult to share a room with a person who do not act like a girl.
My roommate has much bad habits in everyday life. She is quite wild and always makes noise while we are sleeping. Besides, she usually throws rubbish everywhere, that makes our room a dirty place. I’m really boring with it.
I have talked about her many times and have tried my best to help her get rid of the bad habits. And it seems that there is no hope that I will succeed in changing his behavior. So I want you to give me some suggestions
Look forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Lily

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. ________79________ 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? ________80________
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? ________81________ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. ________82________ 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 a good start. _______83________ 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.
