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. That means 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. However, other people believe that their health and freedom can make them happy.

Here are a few ways to help you find happiness.

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 favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several 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 your 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 neighbour, or simply help around the house.

1.From the passage, how many ways does the writer advise us to find happiness?

任务型阅读

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. However, most students don"t know how to take notes.

The following tips may help you.

Write down key facts. Don"t try to write down every word in class. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that"s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard.

Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.

Ask. Don"t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you"re missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can"t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.

Compare. Comparing (对比) your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.

Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you"ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you"ll save time in the coming test.
