You then try to put several big rocks in the bucket, on top of the small stones. 【1】 So you empty the bucket and start over. This time you put the big rocks in the bucket first, followed by the small stones. The small stones neatly fill in the spaces around the big rocks.
【2】 If you put the small stones in first, the big rocks don’t all fit. But if you put the big rocks in first, everything fits, big rocks and small stones. Big rocks refer to your most important things. Small stones represent all the little everyday things that take up your time, such as housework, texting, and interruptions, etc. The lesson of the story? 【3】

If your big rock doesn’t have a specific time, write it somewhere in your planner where it can be seen. If you arrange time for your big rocks first, the other everyday activities will fit in as well. And if they don’t, who cares? 【5】 Take care of them next week.

27、Rhiannon Menn is the founder of Lasagna Love, a global nonprofit that connects neighbors through homemade meal delivery. In March 2020, her San Diego community shut down because of the pandemic. She and her husband own a design and build company, but their projects were put on hold. Rhiannon felt helpless and wondered what she could do to be useful. It didn’t take her long to decide.
“Cooking is my happy place,” she says. She ordered groceries online and got to work. She and her daughter, Cimorene, then three, made extra pans of lasagna, and Rhiannon posted in a local moms’ group on Facebook, offering to drop off a free home-cooked meal to anyone who wanted one. Some people requested a meal. Even more wanted to help Rhiannon feed those who were struggling.
Rhiannon created a spreadsheet for each volunteer, matching them with families who’d requested a meal. Word of what she was doing spread quickly on social media. “By summer, we had more than 100 volunteer chefs,” she says. Too many for one person to track. Someone offered to create an online portal (门户网站) to manage the volunteers and meal requests. This automated system freed Rhiannon to do what she really loves: cook and reach people in need.
For Rhiannon, lasagna is the best comfort food. But it’s about more than just food. “Our volunteers deliver a sense of hope with the meal,” she says. “We want people to know that a stranger cared enough about them to make them a meal. Kindness is contagious (传染性的), and it can transform communities.”
Lasagna Love currently has 25,000 volunteers—or Lasagna Chefs, as they’re called—across the United States, Canada and Australia, who have delivered more than 150,000 meals to families in their communities. “This movement has given me purpose in a way I didn’t have before,” Rhiannon says.
In her home, cooking is a family event. Cimorene, now five, has gotten good at layering the noodles. Rhiannon also has a three-year-old son and an 11-month-old baby boy. “I love that my kids are learning the importance of helping others,” she says.
Volunteer chefs log in to the portal and input how many meals they’d like to deliver that week. The system matches them with nearby families requesting a meal, and the volunteer texts the family to set up a delivery time. The meals are dropped off on doorsteps for contact-free delivery.
The organization is called Lasagna Love, but volunteers can deliver any home-cooked meal they’d like. Rhiannon’s recipe is her own take on lasagna, made healthier with grated zucchini and yellow squash. “I’ve shared my recipe, but volunteers are welcome to use their own recipes for any dishes they’d like to make,” she says.
【1】Why did Rhiannon start Lasagna Love?
A．To help struggling neighbors.
B．To fight against the pandemic.
C．To help their design and build company.
D．To improve her neighbors’ cooking skills.
【2】What can we know about the volunteers in Lasagna Love?
A．They are trained by experienced chefs.
B．They deliver their own meals to people in need.
C．They search for families in need by themselves.
D．They all follow Rhiannon’s recipe to make lasagna.
【3】We can infer from the passage that Rhiannon ________.
A．had no purpose in life before
B．is too busy to deliver meals now
C．likes posting her meals on social media
D．has set a good example for her children
【4】Which of the following words best describe Rhiannon?
A．Helpful and humorous.
B．Honest and successful.
C．Kind-hearted and generous.
D．Hardworking and ambitious.
28、London’s best local theatres

Now that Lynette Linton has taken control of it, the theatre continues to host groundbreaking works.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A man who had gone out of his town came back and found that his house was on fire. It was one of the most beautiful houses in the town, and the man loved the house the most! Many were ready to give a double price for the house, but he never agreed for any price and now it was just burning before his eyes. And thousands of people gathered, but nothing could be done. The fire spread so far that even if you tried to put it out, nothing would be saved. So he became very sad.
His son came running and whispered something in his ear, “Don't be worried. I sold it yesterday and at a very good price. The offer was so good, and I could not wait for you. Forgive me.”
The father said. “Thank God, it's not ours now!” Then he became relaxed and stood as a silent watcher, just like other watchers.
Then the second son came running, and he said to the father, “What are you doing? The house is on fire and you are only watching it burning?” The father said, "Don't you know your brother has sold it?"
He said, “We have taken only advance amount, not settled fully. I doubt now whether the man is going to purchase it.”
Tears which had disappeared came back to the father's eyes, and his heart started to beat fast. Then the third son came, and he said, “That man is a man of his word. I have just come from him. He said, ‘It doesn't matter whether the house is burnt or not, it is mine. And I am going to pay the price that I have settled for. Neither you nor I knew that the house would catch fire.’”
注意：1. 续写词数应为80左右；
