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 earning money, 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 gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those jars are very important. If we dont fill them each day, our households wont 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 have to make an effort to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to ballroom dance class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered.Music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in an orchestra (管弦乐队) practice at my church. Our church isnt large, but we are blessed with a lot of musical talent. A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, fellowship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was filled to overflowing.This week, consider how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you are filling your three jars. At the end of the day, hopefully weve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.24 . Which of the following might belong to the voluntary tasks jar?AMaking enough money.BSinging and dancing.CRepairing tools for someone.DGetting high marks in exams.25 . The sentence “my happiness jar was filled to overflowing.” in Paragraph 5 most probably means _.Amy happiness went beyond wordsBmy jar was filled with waterCmy happiness was emptied after a tiring dayDmy joy was like the water in the jar26 . Which of the following is true according to the passage?AWe seldom fill the happiness jar.BWe all hate the necessary tasks jars.CWe should always empty the happiness jar.DWe should find methods of achieving a balance.27 . What may be the best title of the passage?AEnjoy ourselvesBGive a helping handCThree jars in lifeDTake part in activities四、句型转换Complete the following sentences as required.(根据所给要求，完成下列句子，每空限填一词。）28 .

So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you dont get enough sleep at night, youll have less energy the next day.A report shows that children sleep less because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents dont read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional bedtime story helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully.
