Here come some of the ways advised to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard.

♦ Be grateful and say thanks often

1. the tiny purple flowers on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the smile in your partner’s eyes. When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beauty, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with delight. Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it’s equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way.

♦ 2.

If your tendency is to imagine the very worst case whenever you have a trouble, train yourself to change that tendency. Ask yourself what good can come from the situation or what you can learn from it. Optimism surely fuels success and delight.3.. Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.

♦ Understand and forgive

Step into others’ shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective, and we’re more likely to handle the situation with objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more delight.

Hate and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. Most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.4..

♦ Keep learning and be a problem solver

Learning keeps us young and olive. When engaging our brains toward productive uses, we’re much more likely to feel delighted and fulfilled.

Delighted people are problem solvers. When facing a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fail into a depressive state.5.. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you set to.

A. Be optimistic and laugh often

B. Pay attention to the little details in your life

C. Do what you love freely and live happily in the present

D. Laughter is the most powerful treatment to anger or depression

E. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to be bigger and better

F. Only by making mistakes repeatedly will we realize it is normal to make mistakes

G. Instead they face the challenge and channel their energies to finding a creative solution

A spaceship is flying to the sun in summer 2018! It will be the first-ever to a star and will be one of the biggest achievements space exploration (探险) in human history. The purpose is to study the sun’s outer atmosphere and better understand how stars work.

The spaceship is called Parker Solar Probe and it is named after Eugene Parker, a professor from the University of Chicago. It’s the first NASA spaceship to be named after a researcher who is still alive. In 1958, Eugene Parker first created the term “solar wind”-the sun sending out a flow of particles (颗粒) and energy.

“The spaceship is going where it has never been before. It’s very exciting that we’ll finally get to know more about the solar wind. I’m sure there will be some surprises. There always are,” said Professor Parker.

Parker calls it a heroic scientific space adventure, and he means that the spaceship will have to experience high temperatures and sun radiation (辐射). “The spaceship is going to do the hottest and fastest work. I love to call it the coolest hottest work under the sun,” said Scientist Fox Nasa.

A. To make a human history record.

2.What do we learn about the spaceship?

A. It will be operated by a pilot inside.

B. It is protected by a 12cm-thick coating.

C. It will fly only outside the solar atmosphere.

D. It will fly into the solar atmosphere without limit.

3.What is Eugene Parker’s attitude toward the exploration?

A. Confident.　　 B. Doubtful.

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
