Happiness is a strange thing—We are all looking for it. But how many of us really1it? And what is real happiness? The first is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time2about the future. For example, get into college3get a good job. But we don't enjoy the present（现在）. You should enjoy4simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with good friends. The second is to live a happy and5life and have hobbies. Many people like dancing or playing sports. You can6your problems, and only think about the activity. 7, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they help others. 8you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies. You can9go shopping to buy food for your parents.

If you're feeling down. there is one simple way to make10feel happy. Smile! A study shows if people smile when they feel bad, they will start feeling happier and more hopeful.

I worked for a short time as a cashier（ 出纳员） at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter （柜台） and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and I told him "no". At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly ＄800 in cash （现金）. He took out a twenty—dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. "A reward（酬劳） for your honesty, " he said and then turned and walked away.

Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. Honesty brings me a wonderful feeling that nothing can be bought. I will continue keeping this quality（品德）in the future.

If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps：first, pour out any milk tea left into a wet waste bin；second, put the paper wrapper （包装材料） into a recyclable waste bin；third, throw the single—use cup and straw （吸管） into a dry waste bin.

Sounds complex? You'll have to get used to it. From July 1 on, people in Shanghai are required to separate（使分离） their garbage（垃圾） according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar garbage —separating rules.

Why should we separate our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to Chinese Economic. Most of this waste is buried （填埋）, which may pollute water and soil! In addition, we are running out of space.

In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer （肥料）. So in order to recycle better, we need to separate our garbage.

Can't garbage—processing companies do the separating job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can separate our own garbage. Besides, the hard task of separating might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?

People from home and abroad are all surprised at China's great progress.

About five to seven people lived in a tiny house. Children couldn't have their own rooms and the younger seldom had new clothes. Lots of young people had to work in the countryside or mountain areas instead of getting a proper education.

However, in 1978, China carried out the reform and opening—up policy（改革开放政策）. It was an important turning point for Chinese people.

Now, people's life is totally different. More people step into well—to—do families（小康家庭）.

So far, the rate（比率） of compulsory education has increased to more than 94%.

Looking back at the past, China has changed and gone through a lot in the past years.

A: Good afternoon. It's a fine day, isn't it?

B: Yes. What good weather!

A: Have you ever been to a concert before?

B:  Last week, I went to listen to a concert with my friends.

A:

B: I like pop music best. What about you?

A: I prefer light music because it can help me relax.

B: Well, I think it's quiet and really beautiful. But I hate rock music. It's too noisy.

A:  . It makes me nervous.

B: I have two tickets to the music concert. Would you like to go with me?

A: Yes,

A: Guess what? I'm going to Chiang Mai in two weeks.

B: Wow, like fun! But I believe that April is the hottest month of the year there.

A: Yes, that's true. But there's a water festival there April 13th to 15th.

B: I wonder if similar to the Water Festival of the Dai people in Yunnan Province.

A: Yes, I think so. This is the time of the Thai New Year. People go on the streets to throw water at each other.

B: Cool! But do they do that?

A: Because the new year is a time for cleaning and washing away bad things. Then you'll have good in the new year.

When I was in the grade, my teacher asked us to write an article about what we would like to do when we grew up. All I could think of was one sentence—I want to help other people! Over the years, I met manyand failures. But I nevergiving up. I realized that I had to help myself first before I could help others. I encouraged myself after I experienced failures, and I was happy for myself when I did well.

 , my dream really came true. I found a part—time job in a charity （ 慈善机构）. I beganthings for people in need. I have a happy life. That doesn't mean that this kind of life is easy, or that my work is always . I'm happy because I am doing what I want to do.

What do you want to do? Write it down now. If you don't know, you can ask yourself, "What would I do if this was the last day of my life?" Then write down the first thing that comes to your mind, no matter how silly or how it is. Once you have  answer, you will know what your dream is.

In western countries, you may often hear "drop in any time" or "come to see me soon", but you can't really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says "RSVP", you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.

You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying "Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come." If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not expected that you give a gift to the host, it is polite to do so if you are invited for a meal. Common gifts are flowers. Chocolate is another choice as a gift. A thank—you note or a telephone call after the visit is also considered polite to express your thanks for the invitation.

Shanghai, China's largest modern city, lies in the middle of China's east coastal line. It is the largest economic and trade centre in the country. It has an area of 6, 340 square kilometers. There are about 25 million people in Shanghai. It is a very modern city and there's very convenient public transportation. We can travel around by bus, subway, light rail and so on. Besides, there are two big international airports. It is an open city along the coast, as well as a famous historical and cultural city. Shanghai's history of revolution（革命） and culture attract tourists home and abroad, being regarded as "Paris of China" and as the paradise（天堂） for shopping. There are also many interesting places in Shanghai, such as the Disneyland, the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Building, the Science and Technology Museum and Yu Garden.

Shanghai has become an excellent city for tourism. Our country is trying to develop Shanghai into a modern international economic, financial and trade centre. Welcome to visit Shanghai!
