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

Most of us don't like to think too much about rubbish.1.. However, household waste is a major contributor to our planet's waste problem. Like it or not, it needs to be managed if we are to have a brighter green future.
When it comes to being responsible for our own rubbish, the best way to approach it is by following the three golden rules of waste management, or the'3 Rs'-Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
"The order is important.2.，" says Eugene Tay, Director of Green Future Solutions in Singapore. "Recycling still affects the environment and should be done last after reduce and reuse."
But, when our efforts to reduce and reuse still result in an overflowing rubbish bin, the advantages of recycling cannot be ignored. "3.," says Amy Ho, Managing Director of World Wide Fund For Nature in Singapore. "The damage to our environment could then be slowed down as a result. "
In fact, by recycling just one plastic bottle, you are saving not just the material to make a new one, but you also stop it from getting thrown into a landfill（垃圾掩埋场）for up to 700 years-and that's before it even starts to rot. 4..
Recycling is so important that we really have no excuse not to do the simplest of household tasks that will make a difference.
"5.，" says Ho. "Starting with recycling grey water for gardening purposes, to recycling materials such as glass, paper and iron-it all reduces the use of raw materials."
A. We put it in the bin and don't think too far beyond that
B. The collective action of individuals can make a significant effect
C. It's important for every household to make good use of grey water
D. Waste reduction and reuse is usually the best way to decrease waste
E. The three rules of waste management should be followed by every household
F. Recycling reduces the use of raw materials and so protects our natural resources
G. Recycling just 10% plastic bottles would keep 90 million kilograms of plastic out of landfills

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 1.
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 2. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
3.
Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.
4. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
5. If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
B. Unless you take your action, all your fact-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
C. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
D. Analyze the facts.
E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.
F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
G. Accept what can’t be avoided.
