江苏省苏州市2019-2020学年九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷(含听力音频)
Everyone wants to be happy. You see people who are smiling and laughing, and you want to be like them. However, there are also bad days. Here are three ways to make you happier every day.
Smile often. Research has shown that the facial expression you wear influences your state of mind.
Wearing a pleasant expression for a long period of time will slowly improve your feelings and help you have a happier day.
The more you complain, the more annoyed (恼怒的) you become. If all you notice or talk about during the day are the things that annoy you, it is no surprise that you are unhappy. To truly increase your long-term happiness, don't complain any longer.
Practice thankfulness. Thankfulness has been shown to be the last ticket to a happy life. The more you practice thankfulness, the more you will find things to be grateful for in your life. Even something as simple as a safe place to sleep or food to eat is worth being thankful for because not everyone is fortunate enough to have those necessities.
A. Try your best to be healthy. B. You will slowly stop paying much attention to what worries you. C. Have an entire day without complaining even once and see how you feel. D. Stop complaining. E. There are good days filled with sunshine and smiles. F. If you try to smile, you are more likely to be happy. G. This then leads you to realize how much goodness is in your life. |
If you're away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a solution. It's called “hygge”. Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, it's becoming a feeling around the world.
The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother's cooking, your partner's arm around your shoulder and so on.
Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when you've got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. It's a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.
You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it's just the opposite. You're supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely.
Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧) back to your birthplace, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).
If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.
Now you've really understood hygge without even having to set foot in Copenhagen.
