六、任务型阅读,每空一词

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 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.

Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns (灯笼) outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. This year it is on March 2, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations.

Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect to gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the disappearance of darkness of winter.

Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people put riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people make wishes.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫). At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Restlessly, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the receding light.”
