Studies show that people who are happy — truly happy— have deep connections with those around them. 1. They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others.

Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop, create experiences in our lives. Some experiences will be poor, but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences　 — experiences that allow us to just be. Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences, we allow ourselves time to relax, to build connections, and to become our best selves 2.

If we want to create meaningful experiences, we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives. Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others, we should experience beSHOPs, which means we learn by being, by observing, and by becoming.

3. It helps define us and motivates us to do good, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to be better. A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include:

● Compassion (同情): Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response. 4. When you are compassionate, you don't have to think twice about helping others.

● Gratitude: Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude, and build strong connections. You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are.

● Willingness to learn: 5. Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a step outside of their comfort zones. When we have that desire to learn, to explore, and our curiosity is continually peaked, then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences.

Remember, true happiness, and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures. It is about being.

A.There is so much in the world around us.

B.“To be” requires key values that shape us.

C.It means service, kindness and love for others.

D.Within the communities, you can work on developing these values.

E.Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life.

F.Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness.

G.They value their relationships with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers.

[1]Compared to people with bad attitudes，people _________are less likely to suffer from colds．It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight illnesses.

[2]In a previous study，people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptoms．People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors，even when medical tests detected those symptoms．

[3]Those findings were interesting，but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick．Instead，it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters．

[4]Evidence suggests，for instance，that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic，with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life．This would mean that who we are，not how we feel，ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.

[5]To figure out which mattered more，personality or emotions，the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults．The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected．Their symptoms，however，differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight．

[6]Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus，for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses．On the other hand，those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive．

[7]Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are．For now，it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not !

This year’s Newsweek list of the top 100 high schools shows that today those with fewer students are rising.

Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek Top School List based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22.

Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern high schools outside the cities with thousands of students. Big schools meant economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and better football teams. But only years later did we understand that it involved the difficulty of strengthening personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping; on average, 30% of students did not complete high school in four years, a figure that rose to 50% in poor city neighborhoods. High schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.

Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable trend toward smaller schools. This has been partly due to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools — most of them with about 400 kids, each with an average enrollment of only 150 students per grade. About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred.

Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California, is one of those ranking No.423 — among the top 2% in the country. In 2003, Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses”. 300 students arriving ninth graders are randomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents. Along with the new structure came the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.”It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Jeff Gilbert. “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”

But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.

Ranking schools is always controversial. Over the years this system has been criticized for its simplicity — list of top U.S. high schools was made merely according to the proportion of students taking college-level exams. This year a group of 38 superintendents (地区教育主管) from five states wrote to ask that their schools should be excluded from the calculation. “It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation,” their letter read. “Determining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments, their later performance in college, and taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”

1.What can we learn about the schools sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?

A. They are often located in poor neighborhoods.

B. They are popular with high-achieving students.

C. They are mostly small in size.

D. Another 150 schools invested by the Foundation are planned to be set up.

A. Subjective.                      B. Objective.                                 C. Indifferent.                      D. Disapproving.
