ship from France.On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火车车厢)filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America.These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train(Merci:a French word meaning thank you).After World War 口，a lot of factories,roads and farms in France had been destroyed.Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat.In the winter of 1947,a train was sent across the United States,stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop,people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine.Farmers gave food.Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money.All the things were then taken to France by ship.By 1949,the French had begun to recover(恢复)from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying thank you to America.French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of them were personal,like hand-made toys,childrens drawings,or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car,the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces,with an American eagle on the front.The boxcars were taken to each state of America,where they were warmly greeted.Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums.The Merci Train came out of the war,but it now

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 dont fill them each day,our family wont 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 weve 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
