Most people want to be happy,but few know how to find happiness. Money and success do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words,we make our own happiness.
Here are a few suggestions to help you to be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. 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. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active. Having hobbies make you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, swimming or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
31.The passage gives us three pieces of advice on________.
A.how to solve problems
B.how to find happiness
C.how to enjoy life
D.how to succeed
32.The third paragraph tells us that________.
A.the more friends you have, the happier you will be
B.we shouldn't think about our future
C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D.some people fail to help others
33.The writer thinks that________.
A.it's wrong to spend time on work
B.everyone knows how to live a happier life
C.hobbies take up too much time
D.doing good things for someone can make you happier

When I was about 12, I had an “enemy”, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点).Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn't a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, have you ever wondered what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and I was very surprised to discover that about half the things were true.
I took the list to my dad. He refused to take it.“That's just for you,” he said.“You know the truth about yourself better than any other people. When something said about you is true, it will be helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but remember the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜)all your life!

Do some colors make you feel calm while others give you energy? Scientists have studied the connection between color and mood(心情) for a long time. Many believe that color can influence our moods.
Warm, bright colors such as yellow and red are positive colors. They can give people a pleasant feeling. Cool colors such as blue, purple, and green are relaxing colors. They help people experience calm feelings.
Many public places are decorated(装饰) with certain colors in order to create certain moods. Orange makes people feel hungry, and many restaurants are painted this color.
People use color in their homes to create moods as well. Blue is a peaceful color. It helps you rest, so it is a very good color for a bedroom.
