阅读表达 阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡上标有题号的横线上。

    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 like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important,but we may not enjoy them. 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. 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).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)、What will happen if we don't fill the necessary tasks jar and the voluntary tasks jar?

(2)、How does the writer fill her happiness jar?

(3)、Do you think it important to fill the happiness jar? Why or why not?

举一反三

   Red squirrels used to be a common sight in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels (introduced from North America) are now so common that many people dislike them. They can be legally(合法的)trapped and destroyed.

   On first sight, the two types of squirrel are similar. They both have a long tail, which helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. However, the grey squirrel has a clear physical advantage over the red. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 centimeters, a tail length of 15 to 20 centimeters and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Compared to this, the grey squirrel is a larger animal. The head and body measures between 23 and 30 centimeters long and the tail is between 19 and 25 centimeters long. Adult grey squirrels are heavier, weighing between 400 and 600 grams. This size allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive a hard winter, which would be fatal(致命的)to their  smaller cousins .

So why are red squirrels losing out in competition with grey squirrels? Size is one factor, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in trees, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means any loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel population. Another reason for the grey squirrel's success is its ability to use food provided by people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel can survive in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is disease. Both squirrels carry a certain virus. While this doesn't seem to attack grey squirrels, it is fatal to red squirrels.
