        What is the best way to study? This is a very important question．Some of the Chinese students often study very hard for long hours．This is a good habit．but it is not a better way to study．I think an efficient（有效率的）student must have enough sleep，enough food and enough rest．Every day you need to go out for a walk．Every week you should visit some friends or some nice places．It's good for your study．When you return to your studies，you'll find yourself stronger than before and you'll learn more．
        Some people say that learning English is like tasting Chinese medicine ． It means that like Chinese medicine，the effect of your study comes slowly but surely．Learn slowly but surely every day and the effect will come just like Chinese medicine．

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you 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. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures快乐, 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 to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. 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.

"Well," he answered, "there' s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella. And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.  What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing.  As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing.  As I suddenly appeared（出现） before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."
