Aristotle, a Greek（希腊） thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon (取决) ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions(建议) to help you be happier. 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, that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes 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 often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 54. The best title(标题) of the passage is_. A.

Shiny got down from Smilys back and Smily climbed on Shinys back again. Shiny ran fast.

Teamwork wins DScientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test if they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(专家) in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted（辅助）study on the effect of roboticdogs on old peoples depression (抑郁) , physical activity, and life satisfaction. In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him all the time, and he responds（做出反应）to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over（比较） live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dogremovesexercise and feeding. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(与相关) to the robotic dog, because it was made of metal” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters blood pressure(血压), oxygen levels（含氧量）or heart rhythms(心律). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激) older peoples minds.”62.

When is the best time for swimming in the day in summer? If you would like to swim indoors, a good time in the day is the early hours the body has the most energy to use because the body has woken up and will be ready for all kinds of different activities of the day. The body is going to work with enough energy and therefore a person will feel more comfortable if he swims during the early hours of the day. Swimming early in the day can also be good for anyone who plans to swim outdoors. The conditions outside will be excellent: the water will not be too cold or too hot, and the air will be just clean and fine. Everything is suitable. Usually, it is not a good idea to swim later in the day because ones body is tired after work for a whole day and also the weather conditions can be the worst in the later parts of the day. However, there are still some exceptions. Different people feel different and ones body acts differently at different times of the day. When a person is feeling active and is not tired at all after work, it may be a better time to swim for him than for others. If he is alert（警觉的）that time, he is safe in the water. In a word, the best time can change for every person. The persons body condition decides when the best time for swimming is.
