Perhaps money can sometimes buy happiness but there are also many other ways to make you happy. You can increase the happiness in your life within minutes by taking more notice of things that make you happy. Here are some of them.
◆Life
It’s easy to forget about the fact—that you are alive is itself a miracle (奇迹). As the old saying goes “Every day above ground is a good day”.
◆Friendship
Almost everyone has friends, although it’s easy to lose news about them in the rush of events. Today, take a few minutes to reconnect (重新联系) with some of them.
◆Family
If you’ve got a good relationship with your family, enjoy it! You’re experiencing one of the deepest sources (来源) of happiness on the planet.
◆Self-reliance
Feeling safety that you can depend on yourself to complete what you set out to complete creates quiet but strong happiness.
◆Laughter
It is impossible to laugh and be sad at the same time. Regular doses of laughter are more than medicine. It’s the flavor of life.
◆Gratitude
Be thankful for the wonderful things already in your life, instead of focusing on what you don’t have or what’s out of reach.

【推荐2】Thanks to better health care, most people are living healthier and longer lives.

It is even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their 100th birthdays. Here are some rules for a healthy life.
Get off the sofa!
Sure, it is comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch TV. But doctors say you should get off the sofa. To keep fit, you have to walk at least 10,000 steps every day. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. They often had to walk for miles every day. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: Do you get the same amount(数量)of exercise today as they did in the past?
Eat healthy food!
It is important to eat food that is fresh and natural, for example, fruit and vegetables. Fast food is not healthy. You should only have it once in a while. Eating too much of the wrong food will harm your health.
Rest while you can!
When we were babies, we slept for much of the night. Teenagers don’t need as much sleep as babies, but it is important for you to get about eight hours’ sleep a night. At weekends, you have got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest too.
Do not worry. Be happy!
Many people believe that happiness is important for our general health. Sometimes it is not easy to be a teenager because of the difficulties of school, exams or friendships. If you are worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.
