Many office workers, especially young men, say they aren't happy with their jobs, mainly because of heavy pressure at the office, a recent survey suggests.

More than 90 percent of the interviewees said that they haven't been happy for many years or were never happy after work, while only 9 percent said they are happy every day. The report also said that office workers in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen are less happy than those in the other cities.

About 55 percent of the interviewees, mostly men, said work is not a source of any happiness for them, but is just a way to make a living. Less than 10 percent of the white-collar workers said that their job brings them a sense of success.

Alex Chen, from an IT company, said that a busy work schedule leaves him both physically and mentally exhausted every day. "Happiness will never come to me after a day of long office hours and undesirable working environment," he said.

Chen is not alone. The survey suggested that more than 41 percent of people surveyed say they would be happier with less working hours and a relaxing lunch break in which they can take a nap, listen to music or go shopping.

Learning to forgive those who have "wronged us" may not always be easy, but it's definitely worth it. Here's why.

First, forgiveness has absolutely nothing to do with the other person at all. Forgiveness is about one thing and one thing only: it's about how you feel. This is why it doesn't matter if the offense was large or small. When you hold on to the anger, when you get stuck in blaming the other person and refuse to move on, you are hurting no one but yourself.

You may have been taught to "turn the other cheek", which can be interpreted as letting those who have harmed you in some way walk all over you. Don't fight back, and just let it happen. But is that really what we're supposed to do? No. Forgiving is neither about playing the martyr(自我牺牲的人) or victim, nor about being a doormat(忍气吞声的人). You can forgive what others have done to you, but you should not sacrifice your own interests.

For example, should you let your colleague get away with taking credit for your work, while you sit in silence? No. First, you can choose to forgive his action so that you can calm down. Then you can calmly explain to your boss who actually did the work on that project, without seeming overly emotional or like you have any kind of agenda other than to set the record straight.

Of course, if it's something trivial, you can just choose to forgive and let it go.

It's important to note that this also(and especially) applies when it comes to forgiving yourself. Since thoughts of self-blame or self-hatred are the worst thoughts we can have, staying stuck in that vibration will cause more harm than any other emotion. Move into anger, stabilize there, and then move up the emotional scale until you gradually but consistently feel better. You owe it to yourself.

Once upon a time, there was a clever monkey. He lived in an apple tree on a beautiful island. One day, a crocodile(鳄鱼) swam to the island. "I'm hungry, " he said. 

So the monkey threw a red apple to the crocodile. The crocodile munched (咀嚼) and munched. The next day, the crocodile came back. 

"Please, may I have two apples?" he asked. He ate one and gave one to his wife(妻子). 

 The crocodile went to see the monkey every day to listen to his stories and eat his apples. He wanted to be clever just like the monkey. The crocodile's wife had an idea. 

"Why don't you eat his heart? Then you'll be clever, just like him!" The next day, the crocodile said to the monkey, "Come to my house! We' ll have lunch together to thank you for the apples. "

 But when they arrived, the crocodile said, "Monkey! I want to eat your heart so I can be as clever as you!"

 The clever monkey thought quickly and said, "It isn't here. It' s in my apple tree. "

 They went back to the island. "Wait here and I will get my heart, " the monkey said. 

 The monkey quickly climbed the tree and sat at the top. "Oh, crocodile. You are too greedy(贪婪的). Of course you can't have my heart. And now you can't have my apples either!" The clever monkey laughed and laughed!

Did you throw something away today? The answer for most people would be yes. But where does our 1  go?

It doesn't just sit in the rubbish bin. Every day, 2  come to take the rubbish from our rubbish bins. They put it into a big truck and 3  it to landfills(垃圾填埋场). At the landfill, people sort(分类) the rubbish. They recycle some, 4  some and bury(埋) the rest of it underground. The more rubbish gets recycled, the 5  the environment will be. It means 6  less rubbish ends up in landfills. 

So many Chinese cities encourage people to sort out their rubbish 7  throwing it away. Put the food in one bag. Put the plastic bottles in another. And throw them in the right rubbish bins. In this way, we can help 8  a lot of time, money and energy for all of the society. 

Many foreign 9  have good sorting systems. So they have higher recycling rates(比率). In Sweden, only 1 percent of household waste 10  in landfills every year. In Japan, people recycle nearly 50 percent of the rubbish. 

There is 11  a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China. People in the country make about 300 million tons of the rubbish every year. 12  they only recycle less than a quarter of it. The rest of it ends up in landfills. Most of it is unsorted. The good news is that many cities are 13  different ways to make things better. Beijing has started a new programme to 14  rubbish sorting. If people sort out their rubbish, they'll 15  points. They can exchange the points for shopping cards!

TV host and children's book writer Marktte Sheppard has always been a good storyteller. In her new picture book, Ninja Nate, which came out in September, she has written an inspiring story that helps children find courage.

Ninja Nate is about a ninja young boy named Nate who has a robotic leg because of a recent accident. Because he thinks other kids will tease    him, he wears a ninja costume to hide his leg. In the story, Nate realizes that if he wants others to accept his difference, he has to embrace it first.

Sheppard grew up in Los Angeles, California, and wanted to be a news reporter from a young age. She told the reporter that she would create news reports and ask her dad to film her works. After graduating with a master's degree in journalism (新闻) from American University in Washington D. C. Sheppard became the host of Great Day, Washington, CBS's morning show in Washington D. C. It was a "dream job," she said.

She decided to try writing a book after becoming a parent. "I wanted to do something more and tell different types of stories," she said.

Sheppard was inspired to write Ninja Nate, her third book, after reading a news story about a boy with a robotic leg. She thought about her young son and said she hoped he grew up with the courage to celebrate differences, "What makes you different is your superpower," she said.
