Have you ever wondered what makes people happy What's the key to happiness Is it money, good health, loving relationships or the latest mobile phones The latest report says that all of them are not the key to happiness. Money can buy things like mobile phones, but the happiness it brings is often short. The report also says real happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things.
One important thing is human relationships. People who get along well with family and friends often feel happier. Performing acts of kindness also makes you happy. For example, helping a friend in need will make you feel on top of the world. Even a simple smile goes a long way.
It's not surprising that health is another key to happiness. A healthy diet and regular exercise are important. Exercising helps you reduce stress and makes you feel more positive. Sleep also affects happiness. If you don't get enough sleep, you will be tired and in a bad mood. Besides, tiredness affects your ability to focus on studies and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to sleep at least eight hours a night.
Now you know the theory (理论). It's time to put it all into practice.
54. How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions.
55. What does the latest report say about money in Paragraph 1
A. It's the key to happiness. B. It makes people feel on top of the world.
C. It brings short-lasting happiness.
56. What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage
A. To show what brings real happiness. B. To compare different types of happiness.
C. To offer advice on how to deal with money.
57. What's the structure of the passage (①= Para1, ②=Para2. . . )
A. ①②/③/④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①/②/③④
