23、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?

24、In the early days, many people in San Francisco came from China. Some worked as labours(劳工)in the gold fields, and others on railroads. They were poor people when they first came to America. They worked very hard to save money. When the Chinese could afford to, they built houses much like their homes in China. Some opened stores to sell products from China to other Chinese. Others opened restaurants to serve Chinese foods. These people enjoyed the things they were used to having in their homeland.

Today, Grand Avenue is the main street to the very large Chinese-American community called Chinatown. Children who live in this area go to the San Francisco City School. Some also go to Chinese language schools to learn how to read and write Chinese.

People from different places enjoy visiting Chinatown. They may buy beautiful carvings or silks in the Chinese shops. They like to eat the different foods served in the Chinese restaurants.

Visitors to Chinatown also enjoy hearing the sounds of China. The music seems strange because it sounds so different from American music.

25、阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空(每空不多于3个单词)。

In American history, Benjamin Franklin was very famous. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was 【1】 a scientist, inventor and writer. And he was even well－known for his proverbs(谚语). Some of them are still used today, 【2】 this one：“Early to bed and early to rise 【3】(make) a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” And another one is “A penny saved is a penny earned.”， which means that money should not be wasted.

Americans like to use proverbs so much 【4】 there are so many proverbs in history. Here is an interesting collection of proverbs that Americans use.

Some people say, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.

【5】 proverb says, “Love is blind.” In other words, when you fall in love with someone, you may not see anything bad about that person.

Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a 【6】(man) love if she can always cook his favorite food.

Some people only want to love someone who is very good－looking. I think it's

【7】(cheat). You should know that “Beauty is only skin deep.” Your girlfriend may be 【8】(love) to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities. Or maybe your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good－looking. So what a person looks like is not 【9】(real) important.

In the end, we must say, “All good things must come to an end.” Make another collection of proverbs if you like. Anyway, “Actions speak 【10】(loud) than words.”
