　　Happiness is important for everyone．Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness．Money and success don't bring lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words, we make our own happiness．

　　Some people believe that if they are rich, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness．On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness．In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money．However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government．These people value(重视)their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health．They think these can make them happy．

　　Here are a few ways 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．But we don't 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 close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives．

　　The second secret of happiness is to be active．Many people go dancing or play sports．People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities．

　　Finally, many people find happiness in helping others．According to studies, people feel good when they do many meaningful things for others．If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house．

　　Now maybe you know how to find happiness!

　　The weather is getting hotter．You are thirsty after playing basketball or riding home from school．A cold drink may be just the thing．But be careful what you are drinking．Something that looks cool may not be good for your health．

　　There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market．Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names．The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health．Sounds great!

　　But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡因)in them．These drinks are especially aimed at(针对)young people．Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake．But be careful not to drink too much．

　　Caffeine makes your heart beat fast．Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制)its use．Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea．Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks．Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems．Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them．

　　Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧)．People came just to hear him play．But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song．

　　“I don't sing,” said the man．

　　But the lady told the waiter, “I'm tired of listening to the piano．I want the player to sing!”

　　The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”

　　So he did．He had never sung in public before．Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

　　He had talent (天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar．But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US．His name was Nat King Cole．

　　You, too, have skills and abilities．You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think．With hard work, most skills can be improved．Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent．

　　A sign is another kind of language．Here are some of them that you see on the roads．

　　Number 1 is a sign with the number thirty on it．When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour．We see this sign when we are getting near a town．

　　Number 2 is a sign that we're near a crossing．We must drive carefully．

　　Number 3 is a sign that there is a bend(拐弯)in the road．Again, we must drive slowly and carefully．It is not safe to go around a bend very fast．

　　Number 4 is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right．There is a junction(交叉)at this place．

　　Number 5 is a sign that there is a hill．

　　Number 6 is a sign that the road gets narrow．Drivers must go slowly and carefully．

　　Number 7 has the word “SCHOOL” on it．This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road．Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school．So drivers must look carefully and go slowly．

　　Number 8 is a sign with the letter “P” on it．The letter “P” means “Parking”．At some places, there are the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”．If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car．

　　Are you bored with your daily routine? Here are some things you should try before you are 18．

　　Being a good team player is an important skill in life．You can't just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people．Other advantages of team sports like football and basketball are that they keep you fit, and they are also great fun．Teams usually have a good social life, too．You'll go to lots of parties and make many friends．

　　One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things．You could collect stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like tickets for films you have seen or letters from your friends．The best way to collect is to have a special album(册子)to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you．That way you won't forget．

　　If you don't have your own garden, find a friend who has one! You will need：two or three friends, a small tent, sleeping bags and warm blankets．Take a lot of food and drink with you into the tent and play games until it gets dark．When it gets dark, tell ghost(鬼)stories, and at midnight, eat all your food．You will need a torch or something else, or you won't be able to see all your food, and it might get too scary．
