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 (管弦乐队) 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.
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
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

Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs (屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.
Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.
Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city s temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.
Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage (排水) system. ______ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block
1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ______ .
A. how wildlife is protected B. what a green roof is like
C. how to organize a good park D. what to do with a spare roof
2. The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to ______ .
A. raise B. check C. record D. control
3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4
A. A green roof is alive. B. A green roof stops pollution.
C. A common roof is noisy. D. A common roof increases the cost.
4. The purpose of the passage is to ______ .
A. discover the problems with green roofs B. introduce the change of green roofs
C. show the amazing beauty of green roofs D. describe the advantages of green roofs
Ⅵ. 首字母填空
As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only a___1___ but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as s___2___ .

When spacemen are working in space, they are in d___3___ of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The h___4___ of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some s___5___ medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.
Space r___6___ is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9 000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are s___7___ and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion (爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300 000 fragments (碎片), each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and c___8___ some damage (损坏) .

In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help i___10___ the space environment.

Space vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to space. When they are brought back to the Earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger and h 1 than normal vegetables. But some people worry about h 2 space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could make us g 3 sick because of the radiation(辐射) in space. However, people should not be afraid because space vegetables are very healthy. Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables.
Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are c 4 chosen. When seeds come back from space, they are tested to make sure that they will be s 5 to eat.
Space vegetables are b 6 than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay f 7 for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal ones.
After genetically modified (转基因的) food a 8 in the market, people worried that they were eating u 9 things. For example, if nut genes(坚果基因) are put inside potatoes, people who are allergic(过敏的) to nuts might get sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified food, nobody has done anything with the genes of space vegetables until now. This m 10 that no new genes have been put into them. So there is no risk of eating something unknown.

Mr Jackson was our science teacher. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called wampus.

The world has plastics problem. And not just with bottles. Straws (吸管), toothbrushes toys—all kinds of plastics are placed in landfills. There are 5 billion tons of plastic waste in the world. Landfills have a large part of it. By 2050, they could have 13 billion tons.
Much of plastic rubbish finds its way into the ocean. Scientists say 165 million tons of plastic pieces are floating around out there, And most. plastic won’t disappear itself. It will remain in the ocean forever. Whales get caught in plastic fishing nets. Birds die because of eating plastic straws and bottle caps. It endangers ocean life. Plastic rubbish even ends up in the food we eat.
Governments are realizing that recycling may not he enough. They are taking more actions. Though it is hard work, it is still a solvable problem. In Britain, people are not allowed to use plastic bags except in hospitals. Scotland and several coastal cities in the US stop people from using plastic straws as well. The US alone throws away some 500 million plastic straws a day. That’s enough to circle the Earth twice. “Saying no to a plastic straw is an easy way to make a big difference,” Diana Lofflin who started www.strarwfree.org said. “Do we really want to pass on to our children a world harmed by plastic ”
People have found some tasty ways to reduce waste. A company in India made the first-ever spoon that people can eat. You don’t have to eat the spoon. You can throw it away. It decomposes (分解) in just a few days. David Edwards, a scientist at Harvard University, designed an eatable bag which can protect the food or drink inside. It is a delicious replacement for plastic ones.

And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends
Why is she better off
Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.
I’ll never reach my goal.

I’m very pleased to have this chance to tell you something about life on Mars. Life on Mars is really different from that on the Earth. People have more space and robots help them do most of their work. There are lots of shopping malls on Mars as well as online cinemas. The transport on Mars is also very special. The public transport is very comfortable and produces no air pollution. Although there are some disadvantages of living on Mars, like the gravity problem. living on Mars is a very interesting and wonderful thing. With the development of technology, more people would be sent to Mars. I’m looking forward to it and I think it’s worth waiting.
Thanks for your attention!
