Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”. In other words, whether you are Seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you’ve got to move forward. We’ve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood(心情):
Over a 30-year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people how income, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness. Reported Newsweek’s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”
Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness, according to a study from Wake Forest University. Participants(參與者)followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.
The editors of forbes.com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who’d shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who’d spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it’s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit.
Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.
Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful. A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration(脫水) affected the moods of its female participants.

Unfortunately, the nicotine contained in cigarettes is one of the most addictive substances on the planet and makes quitting smoking one of the hardest things to do.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推銷) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”
1.Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package.
B. The price of the product.
C. The color of its package.
D. The brand name of the product.
2.The underlined part “the colors turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colors _________.
A. attracted the customers strongly
B. caused the customers to lose interest
C. tricked the customers into shopping
D. had weak effects on the customers
3.Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods.
B. The team to produce a good product.
C. The discovery of a genius.
D. The brand name used by successful producers.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products
B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping
D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

C
Chinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned(譴責) lack of morals in society after a toddler(學步的幼兒) was struck twice –by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.
The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS),showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.
The driver fled the scene of the accident,leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk.Over the next six minutes,more than a dozen people walked by the girl,yet not one individual did anything to help her.The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.
Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized,remains in a deep coma.The girl’s parents,who are migrants living in the city,are now with her.
Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested.However,the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public,as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.
High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.
But in recent years,the perception(觀念)of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values.
On Sept.2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed,his face striking the pavement.Yet,no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.
Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.
A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt(免除)Samaritans from liability(責任), yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.
Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator,said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.
1.According to the passage,what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?
A.He/ she would be condemned by the public.
B.He/ she would be awarded by the government.
C.He/ she would have to worry about liability.
D.The public would feel proud of him/ her and thus showed love and respect for him/ her
2.Which of the following is TRUE about this passage?
A.Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans.
B.The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time.
C.High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China.
D.Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera.
3.In recent years,society’s values is believed to be affected by .
A.profit and materialism
B.people’s perceptions
C.the apathy of bystanders
D.the morals of society
4.According to Cao Lin,what is the fundamental reason for not helping the girl?
A.The worry of liability.
B.Lack of laws that exempt Samaritans from liability.
C.The decline of humanity in society.
D.The fear of being accused of harming her.
5.Where is the article most probably taken from?
A.A fashion magazine.
B.A news report.
C.A science fiction.
D.An education column.

Moving to a new neighborhood,town,state,or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids at your new school.
The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.
Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However,as you begin the moving process,keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house,school,and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent!If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long time,don’t despair.
Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also,thanks to the Internet,it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.

Include your thoughts,tales of your new adventures,even pictures of new friends,your new house,and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.

Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases,and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment(怨氣).”However,Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy,there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you deal with the change.
