Unit 1 The secrets of happiness 选择型阅读理解
Do you want to be happy
Everyone wants to be happy. Happiness is a feeling that brings joy to our lives. Being happy is not just about laughing and having fun; it’s also about feeling good about ourselves and our lives.
To be happy, we can start by helping others. When we do something nice for others, it makes us feel good inside. For example, helping a friend with their homework or picking up litter in the park can make us feel happy.
Another way to be happy is to love and be loved. Love is the key to happiness. It can be the love of family, friends, or even pets. Spend time with loved ones and show them affection (关爱). They bring warmth to our hearts.

A survey in an American middle school reveals interesting opinions about how people view life. Scientists showed two hundred students half a glass of water. They asked students if it was half-full or half-empty. Seventy percent saw it as half-full, while thirty percent saw it as half-empty. This reflects two different attitudes (态度) towards life: positive attitude and negative attitude.

Julie is my friend. I met her on a snowy Monday morning. That day I went to my new school for the first time because my father found a new job nearby. It snowed heavily and Dad wanted to drive me to school, but I liked walking in the snow better.
On the way to school, I saw a girl on a bike behind a bus. Oh, no! She fell down. I ran over to help her. She thanked me and rode off.
When I got to school, I went to the teacher’s office. Our English teacher, Miss Wang, took me to the classroom. I was a little nervous, but Miss Wang smiled and said, “Don’t worry! We’re all happy to have you here.”

Do you want to have a wonderful and healthy school life The following advice from Harvard might be helpful.
Choose your friends. If you want to be happy, choose to be around people who are happy and who can make your life rich and positive.
Keep studying. Studying keeps us young and dreams keep us alive. When we are busy studying, we’re less likely to think about unhappy things.
Live in the present. When you feel sad, you’re living in the past. When you feel worried, you’re living in the future. But when you feel happy, you’re living in the present.
Do your best and then let go. Everyone has limitations (局限), and things don’t always turn out to be as you wish. So always try your best, and then let go. If you do your best, you’ll have no regrets (遗憾).
Hope you can have a wonderful school life!

Research shows that kindness makes people feel happier. But why and how does it happen Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around you may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act (行为) makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good.
Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a gift make friendships stronger. Research shows that spending money on others’ needs may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.
Then in another study, even children know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. Imagine (设想) that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than giving them.
The story doesn’t end here. Research also shows that if you’re in a good mood (心情), you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it

Before New Year, I told my mother that the only gift I wanted for the New Year was a Pogo Stick (弹簧单高跷). However, my mother said they were so expensive that we couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday before New Year, my family went shopping together. While my mother and I were picking out the gifts, my dad said, “I will be back soon. I need to see something in the tool area.” A moment later, he came back with a long box, I was wondering if there was a Pogo Stick in it.
When we arrived home, my dad put the box in the garage (车库). While my parents were busy with their housework, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so happy because I thought as long as I opened that box, my bright Pogo Stick would appear. To my surprise, inside the box there was only an ugly old broom (扫帚).
On New Year morning, I got some nice gifts, but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted. After cleaning up the room after dinner, my dad went out. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful Pogo Stick. I couldn’t believe it! Where did my dad hide it He kept it to himself and my parents probably got quite a laugh from the joke they played on me.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: love and happiness.
