Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on 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, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret of living a happy life is to be active. Having hobbies makes you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, swimming or playing a sport. 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.

( )41. The passage gives us three pieces of advice on ________． A. how to solve problems B. how to find happiness C. how to enjoy life D. how to succeed

( )42. The third paragraph tells us that ________． A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be B. we shouldn't think about our future

Four types of friends you need in your life

Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.

The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away. 1. A loyal best friend

Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.

2. A friendly neighbour

These days, a lot of people don't know their own neighbours. It's a shame, because some neighbours can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbours to lock it for you.So it's wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbours.

3. A workmate

You'll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn't have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with him/her outside the office.

4. A friend from a different culture

If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don't be friends with someone just because he/she is from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet some people from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.

If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.
