Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad－tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.

1.As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release(释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time.2.

Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. 3.Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently.4.

If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad－tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control.5.After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.

A．Find your ways to release your anger.

B．Check what it is that causes the bad mood.

C．Tiredness is often the most common reason.

D．Managing your anger is good for your health.

E．Therefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.

F．This rise can have a very negative effect on moods and mental performance.

G．So it is important to keep away from these temptations(诱惑) for your own mental state.

Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.

Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?

Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.

At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.

Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.

But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.

More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.

And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space — but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.

Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety — even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

How to become happier is what most of us are after. The things that we think will make us happier—bigger paychecks, nicer homes, slimmer bodies— 1.But practices such as exercising more, socializing, getting enough sleep, and being kind to others do.

2..

Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的)changes in the body that make us feel good and help interrupt negative thoughts. Anyone who has ever experienced a runner's high will surely agree.

Increase social connections

Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a stranger. 3.. In fact, many studies have found that the more we use social media, the less happy we are.

Get enough shut-eye

4..

Perform acts of kindness

Volunteering to help someone or helping others pay for their bus tickets can make us happy. Giving others a hand takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can boost happiness.

These constant practices arc really what's required to boost our happiness. It's like a tire that we put air into. Occasionally it leaks, and we have to put more air into it. It's not one-time thing where we learn it and we're good. 5.. Anyone who adopts and practices the strategies can truly become happier.

A.Burn some calories

B.Prioritize free time

C.don't really matter in our lives

D.But Facebook friends don't count

E.don’t actually add joy to our lives

F.We actually have to put the work in

G.We can set an alarm to signal ourselves to get ready for bed

Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

On April 22,2011,we decided to be green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planets.
