As one of "China's new four great inventions"，China's high-speed rail eyes the world again with Fuxing. It is proud of a top speed of 400 km/h and a continuous speed of 350 km/h. It is totally designed and produced by Chinese engineers without any help from the West.

China's high-speed train is not only known for its amazing speed，but also for its safety and comfort. Last year, it safely carried 1.4 billion passengers，or the total population of Africa and South America combined.

In 2015，a video taken by a Swedish traveller became popular on social media at home and abroad. In the nine -minute video, a coin stood upright all the time on a fast -running high –speed train. It shows the steadiness(稳定)of China's high-speed train，giving visitors a comfortable travelling experience.

The service on:China's high-speed rail is still improving. The new bullet train plans to increase the height and the Wi-Fi network will cover the whole train. Its air conditioning system is designed to reduce the influence of the external pressure(外部压力)wave when the train is passing through tunnels, easing(缓解)discomfort of ears.

China's high-speed rail also plays an important role in promoting(促进)the Belt and Road Initiative. It will be good for countries along the Belt and Road. It provides a platform to promote global cooperation(合作)in production capacity(生产力)，so it reconfirms China's position as the

world's second largest economy.

"I don't know，" said William，shrugging his shoulders. "Two maybe. Don't worry，Tim，if you win，it's OK for you to take me. "

" Not likely, " said Tim.

"That's enough talking，" said Mrs. Barrow. Arkwright School's new Head Teacher was standing on the stage in front of them. "Can I have your attention，please." she said. She was a small woman with a very powerful voice. When she spoke，the children fell silent.

"I'm sure you have all heard about the new Arkwright School Student of the Year Award. Basically，we want you to think of an activity that will be good for both the school and the local community，" said Mrs. Barrow.

"Yes, you and two hundred others，" said William. The children were all talking now and it was very noisy.

"And，I haven't finished talking yet, thank you，" said Mrs. Barrow. These children laughed and then they were silent again.

"In addition to writing the plan， you actually have to do the project. We want to see results, not just ideas. "

One or two children started to talk again. Mrs. Barrow raised her hand.

"Some announcements. " she said. "Number One. Don't throw litter around the school and especially not in your classrooms. Some of the teachers are complaining. "

"All of the teachers are complaining, " whispered William.

"Sssh," said Jenny.

"Number Two. Please pay at the office if you are going ice skating on Saturday. "

"Brrr. Too cold，" said William.

"William. Shut up ! " said Tim.

"And，Number Three，one important thing from the police. There have been reports of thefts in the Wrightham area，and one of our students has lost his phone. Possibly someone stole it. So please be careful. Report any suspicious behaviour to your class teacher, to me，or to the police，and please don't try to catch the thief yourself. "

"You behave very suspiciously, Tim, " said William. "I think I'll report you. "

"Thanks, William, " said Tim. "I'm glad I've got a friend I can depend on! ".

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一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?
