22、How we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or "jars". 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, housework, buying food. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them, such as 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 be happy.

However, we often forget to fill the third jar — the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities to 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 quickly 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 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 to make me happy. This week, I was glad 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.

This week, think about how you spent your time. 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(获得平衡) among your three jars. 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 groups can we divide our time into?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy.

【3】What can we do to fill the happiness jar according to the passage?

A. Wash clothes B. Watch a film

C. Mop the floor D. Look after children

23、   Do you want to enjoy a family trip to Europe and save money at the same time? Here are five tips that can help you.

Eat out less often

To save money, try going out for one meal each day and having the rest meals at “home”. Certainly, this isn’t possible if you live in a hotel room instead of a home stay(民宿) with a kitchen.

Travel by train

You can travel across Europe safely, easily and cheaply because of its high—speed trains. Traveling by train costs much less than traveling by air and you don’t have to worry about airport security checks(安检).

Don’t make too many plans

You might feel satisfied when you make days and nights full of tours. However, it’s not a good way of traveling because you may be too tired to enjoy yourself. You’d better just plan to do one big thing each day.

Take part in free activities

Especially in big cities, you’ll find many free or cheap things to do. City parks, museums, squares and the seaside are all good places for kids.

【1】You can stay in a hotel with a_________to save money.

A. B. C. D.

24、   I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker, I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.

Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We had a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English.

Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.

Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages; maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.

A．he’s very lucky

B．Mrs. King.

C．The writer.

D．The writer’s wife.

【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．How the King family came to Canada.

B．How old Mr. and Mrs. King’s son was.

C．Why the King family moved to Canada.

D．Why the writer feels bad when he is with Mr. King.

【5】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Mr. King is not very clever at all.

B．The writer has never been to China before.

C．Both the writer and Mr. King are quite young.

D．The two families live a little far away from each other now.

25、   My name is Pauline Jones. In England, students who finish school will take a year off b【1】 going to the university. Most of them will make a trip or a j【2】 to other countries. As for me, I choose to work as one of the 【3】(volunteer)in Belize for the conservation of coral reefs(珊瑚礁). It is the 【4】(one) time for me to travel abroad.
