One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. "What's the matter, my dear?" asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling.
"All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I'll have to go to school without a composition, for I won't copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me."
"That's right," said her mother. "You'll be happier with a poor composition, if it's your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I'll call you in half an hour. Don't think about your composition now. Just have a good time."
It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.
Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. "Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we'll talk about that later."
Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.
As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. "Oh, mother, what a sunset!"
"Don't talk. Just write."
The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!
Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, "Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?"
"Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I've never thought of it once. I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."
Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, "There, Susie, that's a very nice composition, really."
"A composition! Is that a composition?" Susie asked in surprise.
"Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it," replied her mother. Then she added, "I'm sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."
（1）Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.
A. she was punished by her teacher

B. had never talked with Susie's teacher

D. wrote the composition for her daughter

A. My Helpful Clever Mother
B. The Beautiful Sights at Sunset
C. How to Please Your Teacher
D. How to Have a Pleasant Time
（4）What might happen the next morning?

In your life, there are a lot of people around you. They are your relatives, neighbors, friends or classmates. Sometimes you get along well with them, but sometimes don't. What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it's not a good idea. You'd better forget all this and forgive（宽恕，原谅） him.

Second, don't wait others to say sorry to you. If anyone hurts you，he won't say sorry to you. He may just want to hurt you or just don't see things the same way.
Third, try to see things in others' shoes. You can understand their minds better and make yourself a little happier.

6．阅读理解
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?
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
（2）Which of the following is TRUE about the writer?
A. She is always unhappy when she goes to the dance club.
B. She goes to the ballroom dance class to make herself happy every day.
C. Dancing and music are the two usual ways that she makes herself happy.
D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy.
（3）What can we do to fill the happiness jar according to the passage?
A. Wash clothes
B. Watch a film
C. Mop the floor
D. Look after children （4）What can we know from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. The writer took a class at church to practice music.
B. The writer finds friendship is important for her happiness.
C. The writer was invited to join an orchestra as she is good at singing.
D. The writer was going to listen to music at church at Christmas.
