文化意识——中国传统文化

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms” is the most popular.

Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It's the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.

Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruit, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.

When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives on the back of the fish.

White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the rich colors in autumn.

The young artist really gave the ancient Chinese culture a new look.

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?

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. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them.

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.

社会责任——环境保护

When throwing away trash, do you know which bin it should go in? Some of you might not be able to answer this question. But it's very important to know how to deal with your waste. Not knowing how to deal with waste is harder to save energy and protect the environment. If you don't deal with your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground. The electronic waste you throw away can pollute the soil and groundwater. In fact, some pieces of garbage can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

Now, many cities in China have taken actions in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that the garbage should be divided into four groups: recyclable, harmful, wet, and dry.

Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡). These things are not recyclable.

"Wet" waste is also known as household waste. "They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat," Guangzhou Daily explained.

Some waste such as plastic bags, beer bottles and other man­made things will go into the "dry waste" bin.

Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou, plan to use this way to deal with their garbage. Let's encourage each other to deal with our waste well by sorting it to protect the environment.

1.Why is it important to know how to deal with the trash in life?

A.It helps save energy and protect the environment. B.It helps make much money by selling it.

C.It helps keep every neighborhood clean. D.It helps develop children's good habits.

2.The garbage is divided into ________ in Shanghai.

A.recyclable and non-recyclable B.recyclable, non-recyclable and harmful

C.recyclable and other waste D.recyclable, hazardous, wet, and dry

3.Which of the following isn't harmful waste?

A.Medicine. B.Paper. C.Batteries. D.Fluorescent bulbs.

4.The underlined word "buried" in the passage probably means "________" in Chinese.

A.挑选 B.掩埋 C.分开 D.揭露

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.The way to deal with waste. B.The way to stop throwing waste.

C.The way to protect the environment. D.The way to save energy.
