【推荐3】Many people want to buy the newest electronics, the fastest car and the most expensive watch, but what are these things really worth?
For some people, these things give them status（地位）. They think it’s cool because they have the newest iPhone, or they’re better at the newest Xbox game. Lots of people say that buying new things makes them happy. They like having new, pretty, expensive things. The problem is that they don’t stay happy for long and the feeling they get when they buy something expensive fades. There’s a new iPhone, and you stop liking your car. Your friend has Beats in a different color and they’re so much nicer. It seems that someone else always has something better.
As far as I am concerned, those who are crazy about buying things of big and expensive brands（品牌）just want to show off. It has nothing to do with happiness. So, what can you buy to stay happy? The research suggests that the best thing to spend your extra money on is doing things like traveling, learning to cook, speaking a language, skiing or surfing. What about going to the theater, eating at a Michelin star restaurant or climbing a mountain?
In the long term, people are happier with money they spend on activities than on the expensive things. You don’t remember what shoes you wore, but you remember running the marathon! When you do new things or things you enjoy, you gain life experience and memories.
So forget about the designer clothes and expensive watch.

【推荐1】Have you ever been to London? How much do you know about London? Now let me tell you.
London has a population of about 8.96 million. From about the year 1800 to 1945, London was the biggest city in the world. But now many cities are even bigger than before.
London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and listen to the famous clock, Big Ben.
Like many big cities, London has problems, such as traffic and pollution (污染), and they stop the city from developing. Every day about 1 million people come and go by underground, but there are still too many cars and buses in the streets. So the air isn’t clean. However, it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago.
For me, the best things in London are the parks. There are five parks in the city centre. But my children’s favourite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world.

【推荐2】There are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. Studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken can cause health problems.
However, fast food restaurants are still attractive. The most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff (员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their tidy and bright uniforms. Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people often pass by. It is so easy to just grab a burger and eat on the way to work.
Fast food is often so conveniently packed that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also clean. A lot of clever ads have made them the coolest places, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.
Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast-food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food? As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date sooner or later.
Therefore, instead of saying no to fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade (说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could join healthy food together with their speed of service and delicious tastes, that will be the next best thing on Earth for people!
1. What is the most important reason for fast food restaurants being so attractive?| A．Clean places. | B．Fast service. | C．Friendly staff. | D．Delicious food. |
| A．Fast food. | B．Clever Ads. | C．Fast food restaurants. | D．Yummy burgers. |
| A．Because fast food is not healthy or delicious any more. |
| B．Because the ads are not clever enough to attract people. |
| C．Because fast food restaurants don’t change their menus. |
| D．Because people realize fast food causes health problems. |
You can see the red telephone boxes in the streets in London. Everyone can use the phone in the boxes. But the boxes are disappearing now. Why? Because many people now have got a mobile phone. They don’t need to find a pay phone when they want to make a call.
BT is the British phone company. It has a lot of telephone boxes. There are now 42,000 left in Britain. BT says most of the telephone boxes are losing money. So it makes a plan to take down over 20,000 telephone boxes by 2022.
To save the telephone boxes, BT thinks of some good ways. BT starts to turn the red telephone boxes into some new things. Some become libraries, and others become cafes and hat shops. BT also mends some boxes and sells them to other companies. The Red Kiosk Company is one of them. It buys the old telephone boxes and then rents them for about $480 a month. That’s very cheap in London. It helps people who want to start their own business but don't have enough money in London.
