Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon 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 favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. 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.

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛)too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction(减少)of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer(笔记本电脑), weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers(出版商) of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download(下载) their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

The panda is one of the anmails most in danger.There are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today.Zoos and research centres look after about 160 pandas.Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoos.

Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China.The mainly live on bamboo,and each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day.The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons ,so pandas have less and less land to live on .Pandas don’t have many babies,and baby pandas often die,The situation is becoming very serious.

Our govemment is working hard to save pandas.There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough .The government has made a new plan to help pandas.The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better.Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in.Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.

Most people love pandas.The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world.It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund For Nature.The WWF works to protect all animals in danger,so the panda has become the symbol of all animals in danger.There is still a long way to go to save the panda.Think of other animals in danger such as tigers ,whales,turtles and elephants-we need to save the panda,and we need to save them,too.
