So everyone tries to pursue happiness. What"s the pursuit of happiness? It means
practicing happiness regularly, making it a habit, and reprogramming our brains by creating
new emotional pathways.
Psychologists" studies have suggested that several factors contribute to our happiness.
It"s shown that only 10% of our ability for happiness depends upon external(外在的)
circumstances! 50% of our happiness level is dependant on genetic genes and 50% is
learned. Of the 50% learned, only 10% is determined by our circumstances. The other
40% is determined by our habitual thoughts, feeling, words, and actions. That 40% is
what we have power to change!
So how can we learn to be happy? It takes practice, practice, practice. Here are
three ways to get started.
Power of positive thinking: Our negative selftalk is so powerful; it overwhelms
(覆没)all other input. It therefore takes numerous positive experiences to overcome
a single negative one. For each negative thought, state three positive qualities that you
possess and start creating a new positive thought.
Open your heart and share the best of you with others: Happy people are more
giving, outgoing, flexible and creative. Does serving others make you happy or does being
happy better enable you to be of service? What difference does it make? Just reach out and
start giving!
Honor yourself: Be gentle and forgiving toward yourself. You need to unconditionally
love and approve of your innermost(内心的)being, which is the keystone that supports all
gateways toward personal growth, fulfillment, and happiness.
True happiness isn"t a short pleasure but a sense of wholeness and fulfillment. Happiness is our right as human beings and to pursue happiness is our duty.

to-on a reading schedule throughout the year. This includes summer months, holiday breaks, or any time
when school is out. The key is to always make reading fun and a time to look forward to. Then what are
things parents should keep in mind to create fun reading?
Take advantage of weather. Be adventurous and make it a game as to where you should read to your
child and what. In warm weather, read next to a pond or lake, under a tree, or even in the tree house.
One mother reads to her young child in their children"s pool in the backyard during the summer months.
Another mom finishes the longedfor daily trip to the park in the spring or fall by reading a book before
they leave. Cold months can mix reading activities by having books about snowmen, snowfalls, winter
holidays, or sports such as ice skating.
Build a reading activity into life"s planning. Children of all ages should learn the connection between
reading and knowledge. If your family is adding a flower bed, have children read about how to prepare a
bed, what kinds of flowers are suitable for the area of the country and when they should be planted.
Getting a new family pet? Read up on varieties of dogs, care required, and even stories about children
and their pets. Traveling somewhere? You guessed it, read all about your destination first and you and
your children will have the added benefit of knowing more about the area when you arrive.
Create a book discussion. Some fun ways for kids are to have book discussions, which can be done
with family members by flashlight in the backyard, during a summer outing, or even over breakfast. Be
creative! Parents may ask the child some questions, such as: Did you like the book? Why or why not?
Who was your favorite character? Did you like how it ended? Parents can also create a book club with
kids in the neighborhood, where they can have a book discussion. A simple discussion may last as short
as 20 minutes, or longer as appropriate. The book club may have each child tell about a particular book
they read each week. Taking turns with sharing books can bring a lot of fun!
11th. Japan"s Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The
country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. More than 4,000 Seismic
Intensity Meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening.
There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures
proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He
says: "Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They
had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event."
He says there are two reasons for this. First, scientists had not expected such a large earthquake.
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It
was also the worst ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves reached as high as 13 meters in some areas.
Second, Japan"s concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. " In Sendai(仙台),
they were about three meters. At least in that area they were not expecting such a sizeable wave
because they would have built a higher seawall."
A tsunami wave can travel as fast as 800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would
often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit.
This is especially true in cases like Japan. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and
tsunamis can be predicted.
B. Japan has the best earthquake early warning system.
C. Japan can report an earthquake before it happens.
D. Better equipment should have been used.
B. Japan has experienced the worst earthquake worldwide
C. the Japanese should have built higher seawalls
D. The Japanese were not really prepared for such a disaster
B. Because they thought the seawalls were reliable.
C. Because higher ground can"t be reached at all.
D. Because didn"t know there would be a tsunami.
B. Earthquakes and tsunamis will soon be predicted.
C. We have to accept the imperfect systems for the moment.
D. New warning systems will be designed to predict disasters.
context.
Stonehenge(巨石阵) is one of the greatest and most mysterious monuments in the world. It was built
several thousand years ago on the Salisbury Plain(平原), 1.________ the southwest of England.
2.________ are circles of stones in the main monument. The outer one has been seriously damaged
over time. It doesn"t seem very different 3.________ other circles in the world, 4.________ it
gets much more attention. Maybe this is because of the way it was built and its functions.
Stones used in the building can be found in places far away and some are said to have come from
5.________ place 385 kilometers away. How builders took these stones, 6.________ are four tons
each, to the site remains a mystery. After that, builders had to put all the stones up in the correct position. This would have taken amazingly advanced techniques so long ago.
No one knows exactly 7.________ Stonehenge was built, but many people have their own
suggestions. It"s widely accepted 8.________ Stonehenge was a meeting place for religious ceremonies. However, people have no evidence to show that it"s true.
