Many people think that money brings happiness. However, according to Professor Michael Argyle, this is not true. In Britain, we are     1     (rich) but unhappier than fifty years   ago. The USA is the richest country in the world but Americans are not the happiest people in the world.

Professor Argyle has found that very poor people and very rich people are unhappier than those in between. For example, very poor people in     2    developing world live in overcrowded houses without any running water and     3    no electricity. However, there are many millionaires (百万富翁) with     4     (person) problems. A lot of young people     5    get rich very quickly are at risk.

Because of this, a few young millionaires are changing their life styles. Richard Cross, a multi-millionaire computer analyst ( 分 析 师 ) from California is an example. His house     6     (show) no signs of his wealth. There is a small garden   and there only two   cars     7     (park) outside the house. “I want my kids     8     (live) a normal life,” says Richard.

So what can make     9     (we) happy? According to Professor Argyle, you should have one close relationship and some close     10     (friend). You should do a little sport and have a lot of contact (联系) with other people. Other people make you happy, not money!

I remember in our old school days, we     1     (have) PE lessons. During the lesson， we played games. It was fun and I really enjoyed it very much. Later I began to train for our school annual cross-country events. At that time, running     2     (consider) boring and painful for me. Sometimes, I had to continue running to the     3     (finish) line despite the pain.

When I started to work     4     a young age, I realized exercise should be a part of our lifestyle. Looking at the options during that time, running seems to be the     5     (simple) form of sport. But sometimes it’s too much for me, and I become tired     6     (easy). It has also come to my notice     7     the hot weather affects my performance too.

    8     (base) on my experience, the best weather is after a heavy rain. The air is cool and you don’t sweat so much. So whenever there is a heavy rain, I will take note and decide whether to go for     9     run later.

Needless to say, running has its     10     (benefit) . So if you are currently not doing it, I encourage you to start now. But before you put on those running shoes, make sure you check your health with your family doctor. This is important if you don’t exercise at all or have any medical conditions.
