If you want tasty fried chicken, this is the way you should cook your chicken. First, place a boneless chicken in a plastic bag. Then, using your hand, pound the meat until it becomes flat. This makes it easier for the meat to cook evenly.
After pounding the meat, put some oil in a flat pan and turn the heat to the highest setting. When the pan is hot, lower the heat and place the chicken in the middle. Cook it for one minute, and then turn the meat over to cook the chicken on the other side. After another minute, turn the meat back over and cover the pan with a lid. Finally, turn the heat down.
Do not change the heat setting or take off the lid. The last part is very important. If you take off the lid, you let out the heat that is cooking the meat. Let it cook for ten minutes. Next, turn the stove off completely. Keep the lid on, and allow it to continue cooking for ten more minutes. After that, you’ll have juicy, delicious chicken.
66. Where would you see this reading?
(A) In a science report. (B) In a fashion magazine.
(C) In a cookbook. (D) In a movie review.
67. Why does the writer suggest not taking off the lid?
(A) It will make the chicken lose its juice. (B) It will make the pan to lose its heat. (C) It will burn the chicken. (D) It will change the taste of the chicken. 68. Which is NOT true?
(A) You should pound the meat to make it easy to cook. (B) You shouldn’t use a flat pan to cook the meat.
(C) You should keep the lid on before the chicken is ready to serve.
(D) Each side of the meat is cooked for one minute before the lid covers the pan. (69-71)
We all have twenty four hours a day, and this is true to everyone. No matter where we are from and who we are, the time we have in a day is all the same. But the same amount of time can be used very differently, and people’s ideas about time can be different from person to person, and even from country to country.
If you travel to any big city like Tokyo in Japan or New York in the US, you will see that everyone in those cities seems very busy. You’ll find people walk fast on the streets and seem to be in a hurry. They seem to make good use of their every minute, and try to do as many things as they can. They take time very seriously. This also shows why trains and buses in countries like Japan and the US are always on time. Any delay will not be allowed, and any time wasted on waiting is simply not smart.
But not all countries in the world follow this. For example, people in Spain and Italy take time differently. They don’t mind if their friends are a bit late for dates, or buses delay for several minutes. Some companies in Spain and Italy even give workers enough time to enjoy a great lunch and allow them to go home and sleep for some time in the afternoon. For them, everything will finally work out, and there’s no need to hurry.
When you understand the different ideas about time in the world, you will find it easier to get used to different life modes. So next time when you travel to a foreign country, just try to enjoy the moment while you are there.
69. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Time is very important, so people should never waste their time.
(B) We can’t do many things in a day, so we should always learn to take a break. (C) Different countries might have different ideas about the same thing.
(D) People should travel more often so that they can enjoy their lives more. 70. What does “this” mean in paragraph 3?
(A) The time Japanese and American people have in a day. (B) The way that people in Japan and the US spend their time. (C) The train and bus schedules people have in Japan and the US. (D) The places where people in Japan and the US meet their friends. 第 3 頁，共 5 頁
