Good food photography makes the food look fresh, so many dishes have stand-ins, just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and camera set up, I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing,” explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the food with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. And when I’m shooting something like tomatoes, I always carry an atomizer(喷雾器) of water to spray(喷洒) them with dew(水珠) just before I shoot.”
Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “ I’m always worrying about flies or worms(虫) coming up a glass,” Webber explains. “I am also worried that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to add to its colour. Finally he found a plant with lovely blue flowers. When the photo appeared, several people were horrified(惊骇的), because the plant was Deadly Nightshade which can be very dangerous.
What does the underlined word “stand-ins” probably mean in the passage?

A.老板 B.保姆 C.替身 D.经纪人

The food probably looks best in photographs if it has been __________

A.cooked B.kept warm
C.washed D.brushed with its juice

Webber is afraid that dogs might ________.

A.bark while he is shooting B.get into his pictures
C.steal the food D.break his camera

Time Management

Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day, But here are some ways to use those hours better.As a popular saying says, "Work smarter,not harder."

The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities(优先权)(1)  Also,consider whether or not they are urgent﹣if they need to be done right away.It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent, so make time for them.

Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day.Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure every thing gets done.

(2)  Are you smarter in the morning,afternoon or evening? Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good,saving easy ones for when you're tired.

Write down what you need to do and when.I keep two to﹣do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on.(3)   And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish. I focus on the shorter list of each days tasks.

(4)   When someone wants to give you a task,think carefully.Is it really important enough to spend your precious( 宝贵的) time on? Could someone else do it instead?

(5)   If you're in charge of running a meeting,keep it short.Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time.Don't allow it.

In the end,using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it.

A.Think about the time of day you work best.

B.That way I can make sure I don't forget anything.

C.Figure out (弄明白) which of your tasks is the most important.

D.Often,managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important.

E.Meetings also tend to be a waste of time, so avoid them whenever possible.

Misunderstandings

A man,wearing dirty clothes,with dirty hair and only 35 cents in his pocket,got on a bus and headed straight for the restroom.He thought that if he hid in the restroom,he could ride to New York without paying.But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him.She tapped (拍)the person in front of her on the shoulder and said, "There's a bum in the restroom.Tell the bus driver."That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him." Tell the bus driver there's bum in the restroom,"he said.

The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus. But somewhere along the way,the message changed.By the time it reached the bus driver,it was not "There's a bum in the restroom"but"There's a bomb(炸弹)in the restroom."The driver pulled over to the side of the highway(高速公路)at once and called the police.When the police arrived,they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away. Then they closed the highway.That soon caused a 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam.With the help of a dog,the police searched the bus for two hours.Of course,they found no bomb.

Two similar﹣sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland,California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles.He thought he heard his flight announced,so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket,and got on the plane.Twenty minutes after take﹣off,the man began to worry.Oakland was north of Los Angeles,but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean."Is this plane going to Oakland?" he asked the flight attendant. "No,she said."We're going to Auckland﹣ Auckland, New Zealand."

Because so many English words sound similar, misunderstandings among English﹣speaking people are not uncommon.Most misunderstandings are much less serious.Every day, people speaking English ask one another questions like these: "Did you say seventy or seventeen?""Did you say that you can come or that you can't?"

Similar﹣sounding words can be especially confusing (混淆) for people who speak English as a second language.When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning, her boss asked her,"Did you get a plate?""No…,"she answered,wondering what in the world he meant.She worked in an office. Why did the boss ask her about a plate?All day she wondered about her boss's strange question,but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it. At five o'clock,when she was getting ready to go home,her boss said,"Please be on time tomorrow. You were 15 minutes late this morning.""Sorry, " she said. "My car wouldn't start, and…" Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile.Now she understood. Her boss hadn't asked her, "Did you get a plate? "He had asked her, "Did you get up late?"

Auckland and Oakland."A plate"and"up late". When similar﹣sounding words cause a misunderstanding,probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake. Of course,sometimes it's hard to laugh.The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end.The airline paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his night back to California. "Oh well, "the man later said."I always wanted to see New Zealand."

(5)Misunderstandings happen sometimes because of the similar﹣sounding words.  

We know people can be nice,but what about animals?

Scientists say that some animals are capable(有能力的) of being nice.Animals that live in groups﹣like foxes,chimpanzees (大猩猩),and elephants﹣follow rules.They have to followrules to get along and to survive(生存).However,animals can act nicely,even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior.

Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them.Marc Bekoff,a researcher at the University of Colorado,saw a female (母的)red fox do just that. The female fox was unhappy because a male(公的)fox played roughly(粗鲁地)with her.When she walked away,the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely.He lowered his head and rolled on his back.The female fox gave him another chance,and this time,he played more gently.

Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania.One day,Teleki hiked far away from his campsite.He didn't have any food.Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree,but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat.The chimpanzee climbed the tree,picked the fruit,and gave it to him!

An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk(象鼻子).He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth.Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently.He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant.The healthy elephant didn't need any more information.He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth.

Hippos(河马)and crocodiles are usually good friends.They hang out together in rivers.But Karen Paolillo,a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe,saw something surprising.One day,a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river.A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away.Why did the hippo attack (攻击) the crocodile? Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles.
