You are what you wear. Clothes are important and necessary to us, but do you know how to choose suitable clothes in a correct way? 16 .
When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes, you should think about which kind of clothes you really need and decide how much money you can spend on them. 17 They tell you how to take care of the clothes. The label (标签) for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you wash it is cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry cleaning only" and cleaning in water may destroy this coat. 18
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. 19 When buying new clothes, you had better check if they need to be dry-cleaned. You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They still look good after they have been washed many times.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. 16 This means it's not a working day in the whole Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
17 One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父）on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box. 18
One more thought is about the "Alms Box" placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers （做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. 19

The Secrets of Happiness
16 Money and success alone do not bring lasting（长久的）happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
17 Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present（现在）. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music or spending time with close friends. 18
Another secret to leading a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems. Many people go dancing, or playing a sport, such as skating or soccer. 19
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to help others. 20 You can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy food for your family members, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
A. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
B. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.
C. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.
D. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.
E. People who have several close friends live happier and healthier lives.
