Gabriel Garcia Márquez, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, passed away at the age of 86 on April 17, 2014. The world paused( 停頓 ) to remember the cultural giant .

Garcia Márquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as “a giant of 20th-century literature”. Garcia Márquez wrote in a style called “magical realism(魔幻現(xiàn)實(shí)主義)”. In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.

Garcia Márquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude 《(百年孤獨(dú)》), which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world –of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years . The story is a metaphor(暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Márquez wrote about “the very essence(本質(zhì)) of the Latin American beings ” .

閱讀表達(dá) 閱讀下面的短文并用英語(yǔ)回答問題，并將答案寫在答題卡上標(biāo)有題號(hào)的橫線上。

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(管弦樂隊(duì))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?

______________________________________________________________________________

2.How does the writer fill her happiness jar?

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