Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness.    1    

The first one is to enjoy the simple things in life    2     When you get into college you desire or when you get a job you like. You should enjoy life’s simple things, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

    3     and have hobbies so that you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, or playing sports, such as swimming and running.

    4     Studies show people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, please do something good for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by doing die dishes.

A．Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.

B．It is very important to remember the happy times in life.

C．Here are a few secrets to help you be happier.

D．Another secret to living a happy life is to be active.

E．We spend so much time thinking about the future.

【推荐2】What’s your New Year’s plan? As the New Year comes, some people love the tradition of making resolutions (决心). Others argue it’s a waste of time since most plans will fail after a few months. So, how can you keep the New Year flag standing? Try these five tips.

●Make a detailed plan

If your New Year’s plan is to exercise five days each week, a plan like “I’ll exercise on weekdays” would be too vague (模糊的). But a detailed plan like “I’ll exercise at school on weekdays during my lunch break” would be better. That is to say, be sure to detail when and where you’ll follow through.

●Make it fun

If it’s not fun to exercise or study, you won’t keep at it easily. But if you get pleasure from your exercise or study, you’ll keep it longer. One way to make keeping a plan more fun is to connect it with pleasure. If you only allow yourself to watch your favorite TV show after finishing your homework, you’ll start doing it right away.

●Set a punishment (惩罚)

Tell a few friends about your resolutions, so you’ll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven’t followed through. A better punishment than shame, however, is putting cold hard cash on the table. You can make a bet with (与……打赌) your parents that you’ll keep to your New Year’s plan.

●Give yourself more chances

You planned to go to bed early every night, but you couldn’t help staying up late one Friday. After that, your early-to-bed plan went out of the window because you would think “I’ve already failed”. But giving yourself a get-out-of-jail-free card or two each month can help you get better results.

●Get a little help from your friends

If your New Year’s plan is to finish a book, you’d be wise to start hanging around with friends who’ve made it to the finish line and they can show you how to finish it better.

【推荐3】Do you have a hard time meeting new people? Do you find yourself not knowing how to turn down the invitation? If you do, you could be really shy. Shyness starts when you pay much attention to other people’s opinions. You are trying to find out how you should act and behave in different situations. Luckily, you can use the following suggestions to learn how to surmount shyness and become more confident in life.

Accept yourself. If you always try to behave as others like, you will be very tired. You should understand that not everyone likes you and that is normal. If you accept yourself, things will be easier for you.

Take good care of yourself. Even just small things, for example, taking a shower or brushing your teeth, can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself. When you dress up well, you will be surprised how much better you feel about yourself.

Practice talking. If you don’t start talking to people, you will never stop being shy. Try to be more active and talk more openly with friends, family or even strangers. Talk to people at restaurants, bars or wherever you are. It will give you a chance to meet new people.

Start saying “yes” instead of “no”. Whenever you say “no”, you are missing the chance to meet new people. Give yourself a chance and start saying “yes”. It will allow you to be popular with people.

【推荐1】① It is common to surf the Internet at home now. However, a recent survey showed over 90% of parents are not clear what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their internet and computer skills. Then they can better monitor and guide their children.

② Providing training would get parents to pay more attention to their children’s online activities.

This is one advantage. If parents had a better understanding of the internet and websites, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.

③ Providing training to parents would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork as well. These days, some homework of online courses needs to be done on computer. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with the homework. That can make parents very upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students often need this kind of home support.

④ Improving parents’ Internet and computer skills might also be a good way for parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of their free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the gap between them and their children.

⑤ Most people believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way. Therefore, training is extremely important.

1. In the passage, the writer ________.

A．advises children not to spend a lot of their free time on computers

A．seldom help their children design websites	B．never tell their children how to surf the internet
C．don’t know what websites their children visit	D．never limit their children’s time on internet use

【推荐2】We are humans, and it’s not always easy to get along with everyone all the time. Sometimes we hurt people’s feelings and make them angry or upset. We need to do something for them so we should apologize (道歉) to make them forgive (原谅) us. Apologies are one of the daily tools we use to build good friendships and relationships. When you say “I’m sorry”, it’s because you probably think you are wrong, or you think something you did or said hurt another person. Saying “I’m sorry” is more than just words. You also mean that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. The other person probably will, too.

When you apologize in a proper way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again. If someone is upset or angry because of something you did, you’ll want to set things right. Here are some times when an apology can make a difference:

● If you hurt or teased someone, even if you didn’t mean to make fun of him or her.

● If you lost or broke things that belonged to someone else.

● If you did something that you knew was wrong—like telling a lie or breaking a rule on purpose.

● If you didn’t do something you were supposed to do—like keeping a promise.

When someone apologizes to you, you should get ready to forgive him or her. No matter what happened, just move on. Or you might not feel like being friendly again right away.

It doesn’t mean you have to be friends just because someone apologizes. It’s polite to accept and acknowledge (承认) an apology, but anything more is up to you!

1. The reason why you sometimes say “I’m sorry” is because ________.

A．you think you are totally right	B．you are making a promise to someone
C．you mean to hurt someone	D．you care about and respect someone you hurt

2. When you make someone angry, you apologize to ________.

A．build fast relationships	B．hurt his feelings
C．make him forgive you	D．learn from him

3. What does the underlined word “teased” mean in the passage?

A．refused

B．treated

C．joked

D．missed

4. What should you do when someone apologizes to you?

A．Say sorry.

B．Move away.

C．Accept it.

D．Feel bad.

5. What is the best title for this passage?

A．The Best Place of Apologies.	B．The Useful Time of Apologies.
C．The Reasons of Apologies.	D．The Art of Apologies.
