    Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
    Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
    Here are a few ways 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 the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don't 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 close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
    The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
    Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!

(1)、The underlined word “wealthy” means “__________” in the article.

A、pleased B、healthy C、excited D、rich
(2)、Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.

A、get money and something they can't buy with money B、do what they want to do at any time C、enjoy health which makes them work hard D、take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
(3)、The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.

    One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the "Sol-4". "It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. "

    The "Sol-4" works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.

    The cooker is also much "friendlier" than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.

    At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.

    Each cooker costs about $ 2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa.  It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

Does your mood(情绪) change with the seasons?

Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. Those people sometimes feel sad for no reason. They eat more and put on weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can't think clearly. This is the winter blues(忧郁).

Here are some ways for you to beat the winter blues.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Some experts say that the winter blues happen because we get less sunlight in winter than we do in other seasons. They say that the decrease(减少) in sunlight can make us feel sad. Getting more sunlight each day can help you feel better.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Taking a walk or doing some exercise will make chemicals called endorphins(内啡汰)in your body. Endorphins are natural" feel good" chemicals.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Avoid having too much sugar. If you prefer sweet food, like cookies or candy, it may be a sign that you need more protein(蛋白质), like meat, chicken or fish.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Cut back if you have too many things to do. Make sure you have some quiet time to yourself. Get some rest. Don't be so busy that you get run-down.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

If you feel sad all the time and the feeling won't go away, you may have a bigger problem than the winter blues. Talk to a friend you trust, or get help from a doctor.

A. Ask for help 

B. Reduce stress

C. Eat healthy food

D. Get out in the sun

E. Do some exercise 

F. Have enough sleep

Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.

We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.

Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn could help a warm brain cool down.

Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch(伸展)the muscles in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.

In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.

All in all, scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.

Recently, a woman shared on the Internet that she had a birthday dinner not long ago. Before booking a table at a restaurant, she sent out a message to her friends and asked them to make an RSVP. On her birthday, the woman and her guests were very happy. However, a man who didn't make the RSVP arrived. Unluckily, there was no seat or meal for him. The man got angry and said the woman was a bad friend. She felt sad.

Many people commented on the story. Most of them said the woman did nothing wrong. The friend should have made an RSVP. So, what is an RSVP? Why is it important?

RSVP is short for the French word"répondez s'il vous plait", which means" please re- ply". RSVPing to an event like a birthday party is important. It can help the host know how many people will come to the event and so he or she can make a successful plan for it. The host needs to buy food and drinks, or sometimes spend money booking a nice place. It must take the host a lot of time and hard work to plan the event. So, making an RSVP can be very helpful.

If you get an invitation asking for an RSVP, please tell your host if you can go to the e- vent or not as soon as possible. It takes your host some time to invite you. You should also spend some time replying.
