二、阅读理解。
A
A teacher stood before his class with some things on the table in front of him.When the class began,he picked up a very large and empty jar(罐) without saying a word and filled it with small rocks.21*cnjy*com
He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed it was.So the teacher then picked up a box of pebbles(卵石) and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly.The pebbles,of course,rolled into the open areas between the rocks.He then asked the students again if the jar was full.They agreed it was.The teacher picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.Of course,the sand filled up everything else.He then asked once more if the jar was full.The students replied,“Yes!”【出处:21教育名师】
“Now,”said the teacher,I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.The rocks are the important things—your family,your partner,and your health.If everything else was lost and only they remained,your life would still be full.The pebbles are the other things that matter,like your job,your house and your car.The sand is everything else,the small things.
“If you put the sand into the jar first,”he continued,“there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.The same goes for your life.If you spend all your time and energy on the small things,you will never have room for the things that are important to you.Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.”21教育名师原创作品
Take care of the rocks first—the things that really matter.Set your priorities(优先权).The rest is just sand.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】

Summer holiday is coming soon,but I still remember my last summer holiday. It sounds crazy that I didn't go anywhere but staying at home.I did my homework and spent much time on the Internet,so I felt really bored all the holiday and I thought I wasted a lot of time.
Therefore,I plan to do something different in the coming summer holiday.First of all,I want to learn how to cook delicious food.Although it may be a little difficult for me,I'll try my best.And I decide to read two books about Chinese history which I'm always interested in.In addition,I'd like to have a short trip to Beijing with my friends and it will surely bring me the pleasure of travelling. 21cnjy.com
