    Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone can make it. Do you want to have a good mood every day? If so, the following steps will be useful to you.

    Be grateful.

     They can be simple things like the purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the hot shower you take every day. When you have a grateful heart, you’11 cherish them and be naturally filled with happiness.

  

    When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state—called the “flow”. When you’re living in the flow, you’re less likely to mind what others may think about you, and less bothered by unimportant things. The result? More happiness, of course!

    Become a problem solver.

    Happy people are problem solvers.Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies into finding a creative solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you determine to do.

    Practice forgiveness.

    Hatred and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re  actually practicing kindness to yourself.

Everyone makes mistakes. It's through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.

Give back.

    Doing good is one of the surest ways to feel good. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains become active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards.

A. Go with the flow.

B. Focus on what you are doing.

C. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself.

D. When they face a challenge in life, they don’t fall into a sad state.

E. When they meet with difficulties, they will solve them on their own.

F. So It's not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier.

G. Slow down, look around, and pay attention to the little details in your life.

    Compared to the history of China, the history of the United States is quite short. In 1776, 13 colonies（殖民地）located on the eastern coast of North America declared independence and fought a revolution against the British. In 1783 the colonists won the revolution and gained their independence.

    After the revolution, the United States bought a large section of country from Napoleon of France. This purchase doubled（加倍）the size of the United States.  If he hadn't needed that money, the United States might have stayed a small country. Texas and most of what is now the southwestern part of the United States belonged to Mexico. The people of Texas fought a revolution against Mexico.  Later, the United States and Mexico went to war. If Mexico had defeated the United States in that war, California and New Mexico would have been part of Mexico today.

    The British and the Americans both claimed the northwestern part of the country. They settled their differences with a compromise. South of the 49th parallel was the United States. North of the 49th parallel was Canada. In 1861 one half of the United States did go to war with the other half.  President Lincoln wanted to free slaves. He was supported by the North but opposed by the South. The South wanted to separate from the rest of the country and become independent.

    Following the Civil War, the United States bought Alaska from Russia. Today it is the largest state in the country and a very important one, too.

A. This was the Civil War.

B. It was controlled by England then.

C. It began little more than 200 years ago.

D. After 4 years of war, the South was defeated.

E. Napoleon needed money for his European wars.

    With self-service facilities – supermarkets, to name one – beginning to appear all the time, we're now relying on integrity more than ever.

    Integrity – the quality of doing the right thing no matter if anyone is watching or not – has been highly valued in China since ancient times. And the phrase“立木取信”probably best explains how integrity works in the relationship between people and the ruling of a nation.

    This phrase comes from the Warring States period (475-221 BC), during which China wasn't yet a unified country and was constantly at war. States carried out reforms to make themselves stronger, with the most thorough and influential one being the reform of the State of Qin, introduced by statesman Shang Yang (395-338 BC).

    Shang's reform focused on farming and giving rewards to soldiers who fought hard during wars. But at first, people had little trust and confidence in Shang.

    So he decided to prove himself by putting a wooden pole at the south gate of the capital of Qin, offering those who took the pole to the north gate a reward of 10 gold pieces, before long raising it to 50. When a man did as he said, Shang paid him 50 gold pieces as promised. Word soon spread, and people began to realize that Shang was a man of his word. The reforms were finally pushed forward.

    Today, integrity still plays an important role in Chinese society, which is why it's included as one of the 12 core socialist values in China.

    China is also planning to build a social credit system by the year 2020, which will keep citizens' misbehaviors –- even minor traffic violations – on record, so that trust can be established among people.

    “Without a system, a conman can commit a crime in one place and then do the same thing again in another place. But a credit system puts people's past history on the record. It'll build a better and fairer society,” explained Wen Quan, a blogger who writes about technology and finance, to BBC News.

    Entering a university is an important part of a person's life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine or education.  An important one started in Egypt over one thousand years ago.

    The world's oldest surviving university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗教寺院) in A.D.972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subject of religion and law.  Leaders in the city of Cario decided to create a school for higher learning and soon after that, and AL-Azhar University was founded.

     For these teachers at AL-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teachers, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers had interesting discussions, and there was no ‘right' answer. In the years that followed, the new university interested scholars from around the world.  At AL-Azhar, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.

    Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world.  Today, many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the same traditions as they do at AL-Azhar.

A. However, the university is not a modern invention.

B.There are many reasons to study in Egypt.

C.They came here to teach and do research.

D.Around the year 988, a new decision was made.

E. Its library contains many of the world's oldest and most valuable books.

F. The cost of university education is increasing year by year.

G. A university was a new idea at that time.

Should I live in the city or the suburbs?

    There are three different kinds of areas you can live in: urban, suburban, and rural. You can describe living in a rural area as living out in the sticks or the county. This type of living is seen as idyllic (田园生活的) for those seeking reprieve (暂时缓解) from crowds. Rural areas generally have small, self-sustaining populations.

    Urban living is city living: active nightlife, full of noise, sophisticated public transit system and sometimes small and expensive city apartments. Urban areas tend to be densely (密集地) populated and have more intense traffic and pollution as a result.

    For those seeking an intermediary between urban and rural living, the suburbs might be just the thing. Suburbs are large residential areas away from the core of town yet close enough to the city center.

    Can you afford to live in the city?

    Choosing whether to live in the city or the suburbs is often a matter of budget — where can you afford to live? By and large, living in the city is more expensive than living in the suburbs, though that's not always the case. For instance, in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and a few other cities, suburban living is not always better on your wallet.

    Your lifestyle influences your happiness in the city or suburbs.

    For someone who enjoys five-star restaurants, vibrant (充满活力的) nightlife, and fast-paced living, residing in an urban hub is a dream come true. On the other hand, if you find crowds and tons of noise unbearable, then a large city might feel like purgatory (炼狱).

    Your lifestyle is one of the primary considerations in deciding where you ought to live. If you are into fishing, hiking, and spending time outdoors, then realize that you may have to drive several hours to enjoy your hobbies if you choose city living.

Is your career better suited for the city or suburbs?

    Your career should also strongly influence your choice about whether to live in the city or in the suburbs. For example, if your job is in landscape, you might find it difficult to find work in the city because there is not a high demand for landscape artists. The fact of the matter is that most city homes don't have large yards with grass to cut, and competition for landscaping contracts is probably fierce. Similarly, a business executive (主管) may find that the suburbs do not offer the convenience afforded by city living.

    The debate of whether to live in the suburbs or the city is long lasting and never-ending. When it all boils down to it, it is a matter of preference and budget, so go with your gut (决心) and you'll make the right choice.

Passage outline	Supporting details
of living in three kinds of areas	◆ Living in rural areas helps people escape from streets and public transportation. ◆ Living in urban are can mean active nightlife but has many like noise, pollution and so on. ◆ The suburbs might appeal to those seeking to achieve a between urban and rural living.

Lifestyle	◆ When choosing where to live, you should take your lifestyle into . ◆You can settle in a big city if you prefer modern life. However, if you want to your hobbies like fishing and hiking, you'd better avoid city living.
Career	◆ Your profession plays a great role in helping you on where to live. ◆ A landscape artist has difficulty finding work in the city while a business executive finds it not to live in the suburbs.
Conclusion	Anyway, you'll make the right decision if you your choice on your preference and budget.

Walking with a purpose

    Humans were made for walking. With our strong leg muscles, our bodies were literally designed with walking in mind-which is what makes it such perfect exercise.

     And best of all, it's a great way to see new things and meet new people!

Maybe you already love to walk, but you're getting tired of going your same old route day after day. Or maybe you're new to walking and aren't sure how to get started. To get started, sit down with a map and make a plan. Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? Get out into the wilderness or explore a city? Knowing your priorities will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do.

    If making friends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them.Go online and look up your local mall or shopping center. Many malls have groups that come every day, or every weekend, to "walk the mall". These groups are always happy to include one more walker!

    Then tie on your walking shoes and prepare to get to know the place from the ground up! Many of our great historic cities offer detailed and well-planned walking tours. Nearly any city you can think of offers a walking tour with maps, provided by the tourist bureau. And small towns generally have a scenic route that will carry you past its best boutiques(精品店), shops, and cafes.

B. Head to a new city.

    It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. "Do you need a second helping of pudding?" a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta, a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel(异常的) because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. He had no preparation for it.

    But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses.

    The restaurant is the latest initiative(初步行动)from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz. It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. "The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and  again about the importance of giving people dignity (尊严), whether it's through bread or through  work," said Father Angel." People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."

A. By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid, is a typical Spanish bar.

B. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?

C. They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.

D. It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure?

For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure.Often the goal is to push their body's limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).

For those who less want to climb mountains, it might mean traveling to Nepal and joining in the local festivals.Anything that is going beyond the normal defines (定义) adventure.

Adventure depends on the persons physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU—not for the person next to you.

Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. You will be rewarded handsomely.

A. Adventure travel is not necessarily suitable for everyone.

B. To those sports lovers, adventure travel means nothing but harm.

C. Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation.

Mountain gorillas are strong, with long muscular arms and a big chest. They have thick black hair that protects them from the cold in high mountain areas.  Although they are very strong, mountain gorillas are shy animals. They normally don't attack humans.

   During the 40 to 50 years that a female lives she gives birth to two to six babies. The first baby is born when she is about eight or ten years old. She then has further babies every three to four years. In most cases single gorillas are born, but she sometimes gives birth to twins.    They need about 30 kilograms of vegetation every day to survive. They also eat insects but rarely drink water because there is enough moisture in the plants.

Life for mountain gorillas, however, is not peaceful.    More and more people are moving to live in the rain forests. There they cut down trees to get more farmland, and build roads and settlements.

It is believed that there are only about 600 mountain gorillas left.

I always seemed to be running late and hurrying up. I'd wake up early in the morning in order to have enough time to get to where I wanted to go. But by the time I found myself on the road, I was clearly going to be late.  This constant(不断的) rush entered every area of my life. For example, when I went shopping, I'd race up and down the passage.

Then one day when going to work, I had been running behind again. Unluckily, on the way, my car was out of gas. As my car left the road, I looked at my watch. It's clear that I'd be late. I had a meeting in fifteen minutes and I hadn't finished preparing for it.

But as I looked out towards the east, the sun was just beginning to climb out of the hill. There was fog(雾) hanging over the river and some ducks were swimming across the glass-like surface of the water. A few boats sat on the river, which was shining in the sunshine.

I was surprised. This pretty scene had been going on right outside my car every morning

I had been rushing around in such a hurry to not miss anything that I had been missing everything!

I understood I needed to set schedules and made good preparations for big events in case of any hurry. More importantly, I should try to stay relaxed and enjoy present life. And there was no need to worry about unimportant things. Now I am here traveling this life joyfully and patiently.

A. How could I avoid it?

B. I became worried and upset.

FOMO stands for "fear of missing out". It refers to the nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they weren't invited or they just didn't feel like going.  This belief, in tum, can create anxiety and a sense of inferiority (自卑). FOMO bothers most teens, especially if they're often online.

One way for teens to deal with FOMO is to practice what is known as reframing(重塑) thinking.  Here are some tips on how teens can start to reframe their thinking.

Track negative thoughts and replace them with reasonable ones. One thing teens can do to deal with FOMO is to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal.   Then, they can change their thoughts and replace the negative thoughts with something positive.

 Encourage teens to recognize that they have limited time and cannot possibly be everywhere and do everything. So, naturally, there will be social events that they cannot attend. But this does not mean that they're necessarily missing out on something.

Turn off the technology and do something else. Turning off the technology seems like a natural cure for FOMO. But just switching the phone off does not erase the feelings that FOMO causes.

 The key is to occupy yourself with something else entirely, like reading a book or baking cookies - anything that allows them to focus on something other than social media.

A. Be realistic about availability.

B. There are some negative consequences of FOMO.

C. Realize that no one lives a perfect life as described in social media.

D. It's a mental exercise designed to help them look at situations differently.

E. In general, FOMO causes people to assume that they have a low social rank.

F. Teens may still worry about missing out even if they're not in social media at all.

G. This allows them to observe how often they're feeling negative about themselves.

What is volunteer travel?

Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects.

Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries. Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.

Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished（贫困的）area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate. As international travel became easier and the Internet made communication between countries much easier, the interest in volunteer travel increased.

Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers home base, the volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. This sort of volunteer travel is sometimes referred to as volunteerism or vacanteerism.

A. The primary purpose of the trip was very specific.

B. This type of travel has been an option for many years.

C. Educational institutions also made volunteer travel an option.

D. Sometimes, donating money is not enough to satisfy the need to help.

E. The Internet has helped make community service in general more popular.

F. These trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or non-profits. G A new trend is that for-profit tour operators arranging group travel around volunteer opportunities.
