Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, " Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about future - for example, getting into college or getting a good job - that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life"s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

When you do some minor image editing (修正) on your computer screen, you may make some mistakes, so from time to time you"d click undo (撤消). There are things in life we cannot undo as easily and completely as we would with our computer files. A wrong turn, a hurtful word said to a loved one, a bad move - these we all commit as we walk our life"s journeys, no matter how careful we are in our steps. Once committed, we can no longer undo many of these mistakes, especially because unlike with our computer documents, each thing we do and say has vast impact as they involve not just us - the file that we are working on - but also others, the unopened files and computer programs in our system. So I guess our life"s mistakes are not like our pencil scrawls (潦草书写) that can be effectively corrected with an eraser, or errors on our computer works that can be undone with an undo button. But there are effective and reliable tools we can use-APOLOGY and FORGIVENESS. Simply click the APOLOGY button when you have committed a mistake that has hurt a loved one and the words "I"m Sorry" will flash on the other person"s screen. But, you have to be truly sorry and you must be prepared not to commit the same mistake again for your APOLOGY to work. Sincerity is definitely a necessary part. When someone clicks the APOLOGY button and the words "I"m sorry" flash on your screen, all you have to do is click back the FORGIVENESS (原谅) button. It means that you have wholeheartedly accepted the other person"s APOLOGY. But not only that. You also have to click it when someone has sent you back the message "It"s okay. Forget about it.". It means that you are also forgiving yourself for your mistake; that you won"t keep feeling so bad having committed it. And lastly, don"t forget to keep clicking the SAVE button. Going through the whole process of editing-of doing and undoing, of apologizing and forgiving - is useless if you fail to save the LESSON for future use. Let the saved file be a reminder of the healing process you once went through to make yourself better; for you not to forget the lesson; and for others to access and learn from.
1. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. However careful we are, we still make mistakes in life. B. Things we do and say can affect computer programs in our system. C. We can undo life"s mistakes if we are careful enough. D. An eraser is an effective tool for our computer works.
2. The APOLOGY button should be clicked when ________.
A. one wants to make the computer work perfectly B. one"s mistakes won"t influence others any more C. one is actually saying "I"m sorry" D. one won"t make the same mistake again
3. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The UNDO button. B. The APOLOGY button. C. The SAVE button. D. The FORGIVENESS button.
4. We need to click the SAVE button in life because ________.
A. we want to go through the whole process of editing B. we need to learn a lesson from the past mistakes C. we want to make the healing process faster D. we need to use the computer properly |

The Meanings of Dreams Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream. 1 First, we have most of our dreams during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams - even if we cannot remember doing so when we awaken. 2 While we are asleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways. 3 Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 4 Dreams about a car or travel often represent feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth - especially broken or loose ones may indicate stress and fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape. Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling (叫喊), for example, maybe you are angry. 5 There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.
A. Dreams may be more important than sleep. B. Scientists do not know for certain why we dream. C. If he or she was terrified, then maybe you are afraid of something. D. Modern research can tell us some important things about dreams. E. There are three things you should pay attention to to have a sweet dream. F. Finally, a part of our brain helps us to understand daily experiences we have. G. Dreams about telephones are thought to be about giving or receiving an important message. |

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees" nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees" nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.
