The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups or jars (罐子). These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.

Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar is filled with tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.

However, we often forget to fill the third jar? the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.

That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance (社交舞) class. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I was happy to take part in an orchestra (管弦樂隊(duì)) practice at my church (教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.

Consider how your time is spent. Try to find ways to achieve a balance. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.

1.How many kinds of jars are mentioned in this passage?

______________________________________________

2.What will happen if we don’t fill the necessary tasks jar and the voluntary tasks jar?

______________________________________________

3.Why do we often forget to fill the third jar?

______________________________________________

4.How does the writer fill her happiness jar?

______________________________________________

5.Do you think it important to fill the happiness jar? Why or why not?

______________________________________________

One morning, I was driving my father to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

"It's magic (魔法)." my father said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic.

But now, I know he was at least right in some way.

Flying might not be magic, but it's certainly magical. What it brings to our lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially (尤其) I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, " You know you're growing-up when you no longer want a window seat."

Too often in these years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonder (奇觀) of travelling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger (乘客) behind me wouldn't stop talking. "The clouds!" he kept saying. Look at the clouds!

I turned around,and saw two men,one seemed to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat went on for 20 minutes until,not patiently,I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed close enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colours, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and enjoy them for the rest of the flight.

I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I've never forgotten those clouds.

1.Why did the writer's father say "It's magic." ?

A.He was excited by what he saw.

B.He seldom saw planes flying.

C.He was wondering how it happened.

D.He was joking with his son.

2.How did the writer feel when he listened to the chat for 20 minutes?

A.Unhappy. B.Excited C.Interested. D.Nervous

3.The writer wrote this article to .

A.tell readers how planes fly in the air

B.advise readers to look up at planes from time to time

C.tell readers to enjoy the beauty around them

D.show views from planes are better than that on the ground

4.Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

A.Is It a Wonder? B.Is It Magic?

C.What Soft Clouds! D.What a Strange Flight!
