     There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it.               After breakfast , Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.

One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it .“You live in that garden, don’t you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what's behind this wall.”

The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, “Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?”

“I don't know for certain , ” Martha answered , “but the story is that when Mr.Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking.

“No, it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”

“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.” Mary looked at Martha and thought, “She isn’t telling me the truth. She knows something she doesn’t want me to know.

It is reported that some developed（发达的） countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Such a thing can be found almost every day although it is against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.

    Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste (电子垃圾). Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury (汞) and lead ( 铅 ) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.

    Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as "the e-waste capital of the world". It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.（污染）

    The Chinese government（政府） wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesn’t do harm（损坏） to the environment（环境） anti people’s life. This year, China passed a new environmental protection（保护） law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.

62. The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from ____________.

    A. France         B. Japan       C. Germany      D. Australia

63. The passage may be from __________________.

    A. a newspaper     B. a story book      C. a cartoon book     D. a novel

64. The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province ______________.

  A. is the e-capital of the world    B. has serious e-waste pollution

    C. deals with e-waste safely    D. is polluted by the waste water

65. The passage is mainly about _________________.

    A. the way to deal with e-waste   B. the protection of environment

 C. the e-waste problem in Japan   D. the need to pass a law against e-waste.

 阅读短文并回答问题，每题答案不超过10个词。

The way we spend our time can be divided(分开) 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. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar is filled with tasks like 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 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. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered. 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). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service（服务）. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.

Consider（考虑） 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.

76. How many kinds of jars are mentioned in this passage?

77. What will happen if we don’t fill the necessary tasks jar and the voluntary tasks jar?

78. Why do we often forget to fill the third jar?

79. How does the writer fill her happiness jar?

80. Do you think it important to fill the happiness jar? Why or why not?
