4 . How to change the world

There are so many things you can do at home or in your community to make the world a better place. Even the smallest things can lead to bigger changes, so don' t be afraid to get out there and start helping.     1    No matter where you are or whom you meet, give them a warm smile when you’re around them. When you smile, you make the other person feel good and encourage them to smile too.

You’ve probably felt warm when someone says something nice about you, so why not return the favor? Say something that shows your appreciation for how they handle themselves emotionally or treat other people. Make sure you act sincerely when you give your praise so you come across as a truthful person.    2    

It can be really easy to get jealous (妒忌的) of other people when they succeed, but it’s a lot more rewarding to share their excitement. Avoid comparing yourself to other people and thinking of ways you can be better than them.     3    

Even though being kind to someone doesn’t seem like you’re making a big change, your kindness will continue to spread through them. Real kindness involves being friendly and considerate no matter the circumstances.     4    For example, if you see someone struggling to carry groceries , you can offer to help them to their vehicle.

When people litter, the rubbish ends up in the environment and damages the natural wildlife .     5    You may end up picking rubbish up from a beach, cleaning up around highways , or collecting waste from public parks.

A．But do things because you’re actually interested in them.

B．Even a few small kind words can have a huge effect on them.

C．Even flashing a quick smile can brighten someone else’s day.

D．Stay aware of the people around you and look for opportunities to help them.

E．Remember to treat yourself kindly as well so you take good care of your mental health.

F．Instead, really look at what they’ve accomplished and appreciate the work they’ve done.

G．Search online to see if there are clean-up programs in your city and work as a volunteer.

7 . Simplicity is a lifestyle that takes away the unimportant things in your life. It removes or changes those things that cause you to feel stressed out, and allows you to absolutely focus on what’s important. Of course, no one can suddenly lead a simple life.    1    . Here are three excellent reasons.

    2    . Unfortunately, it’s easy for us to fall into the comparison trap. Studies show that comparison may cause pressure, depression and anxiety. When you live a life of simplicity, you’ll feel a rebirth of the soul. You’ll definitely know what’s important and what isn’t, and focus on things that make you happy.

Simplicity helps you feel content and happy.    3    . It gives you a strong sense of freedom and warmth. When you lead a simple life, you tend to feel satisfied with who you are and your situation in life. It doesn’t mean you’re not hard-working or interested in improving your life. Content people aren’t driven by an unhealthy schedule. They do what they need to do peacefully. When you’re satisfied, you don’t care if what you’re doing is popular or what society says you should do.    4    .

Simplicity helps you enjoy small things. When you choose to live a simple lifestyle, you’ll slow down your life and enjoy its little moments in an absolutely new way.    5    . Remember, though life is hard sometimes, slow down your life and enjoy little things that can bring you joy.

A．Contentment is a satisfying calm

B．Simplicity says “no” to social pressures

C．Simplicity helps you to stop comparing

D．It takes time and effort but it’s worth the journey

E．In other words, simplicity helps you feel satisfied

F．You actually live according to the current popular trends

G．You’ll feel free to enjoy a sunset or go for a walk in the rain
