主题：如何过快乐的生活
短文导读：本文介绍了过快乐生活的四种方法。
阅读理解B
Be pleased to do anything even though it is very tiny. In fact, there's no single thing that is not worth doing or you are not able to do. So living a happy life with a light heart is the most important. A good mood(情绪)decides your quality(质量)of life. Then how can you live a happy life
Make each day meaningful by helping someone or just making someone smile. The feeling which makes you want to help others stays at the bottom of your heart. Happiness depends on your feelings in your heart. Helping others is helping yourself. By helping others, you will be given more. Seeing their satisfied smile will make you feel proud of what you have done.
Face difficulties bravely in your life. Everybody may meet with difficulties. No one can avoid them. The difficulties can teach you a lot. They are your treasure.They will help you to be closer to success.
Focus on the good experiences you have had in the past few years. Be grateful(感激的)to life. Don't think too much about the negative things. They are similar to bad weather. Bad weather will pass sooner or later, so will the negative things. You may find many dead ends in your life. But you will always find your way out of them. Everything will get better at last.
Never worry about the things you can't change. Worrying isn't useful. Worrying can neither change the situation nor solve any problem. Perhaps, not every dream will be realized; not every effort will be completed. Never mind, and take it easy.
Come on, everybody! Let's live a happy life with a light heart and enjoy the beautiful sunshine every day.
