1 Happiness What is happiness? There is no specific definition of it. In my opinion, a healthy body is the most important part of ones happy life. For the majority of people, it is prerequisite to realize the value of life. In addition, love, family, work and friends are also the basic elements of happiness. The differences in living environment may make people conclude different knowledge to happiness. In the case of younger children, the reason why he is happy maybe is that he has been praised by his teacher. For parents, nothing is happier than to see their healthy children.Can money buy happiness? Someone believes that money buys happiness. I dont agree. A man without money is poor, but a man who has just money alone is even poorer. When a millionaire racks his brain to become a billionaire, He will probably not be happy. It all depends on yourself. The true happiness, is relative, is the feeling of satisfaction under the state of psychological balance! One can have lots of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, but at the same time he may not be happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Money is very important for us to get happiness, but the most important thing in life is not money, but life itself. Money is just a tool.The Chinese people are living a happy life. In the past two decades, Chinas economic reform programs have lifted Chinese people out of poverty. Now, with the pace of life getting faster and faster, the pressure on the Chinese people has also become heavier and heavier. But this is a temporary situation. Im sure China will have a bright future and Chinese people will live a happier life!5 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Television Television, as a popular means of mass media, appeals to people for various reasons. First, it allows us to see as well to hear what is happening in the world. Thus, most distant events are brought right into our homes. Second, it is very convenient. All we have to do is to press the button and sit there, enjoying ourselves. Finally, with a TV set, no matter what your interest is and what age group you belong to, you will always find programs to your taste: in short, TV has become so much part of our life that a world without TV would be unimaginable. However, as some people argue, TV has disadvantages, too. For one thing, much of our good 6me is wasted watching TV and our work and studies are neglected. Another bad effect is that television viewers have become passive and lazy because they just sit there, letting things happen to them, instead of reading and thinking for themselves. Furthermore, influenced by some bed programs, many children, have come to believe that our world is one of violence and dishonesty. They begin to imitate every action of the TV actors and as a result, the crime rate has increased in some areas. In spite of what bas been said, it should be admitted that there are more advantages over disadvantages in the use of TV. Being a modern device of communication, TV itself is certainly a good invention. As such, only when it is made use of properly, can it produce only good effects. If not, bad results will overweigh the good ones; then TV will become a burden or a killer. 6 Never too old to learnGoodmorning,everyone.Didyoueverheardtheoldsayinggoes,Itsnevertoooldtolearn.Yes,Ittellsusweshouldalwaysrealizethatthemostimportantthingsinthissocietyiskeeplearning.Onlybydoingthiscanwekeepupwiththepaceofthetime.Thefollowingsaremypoints.”。Ithinkitnecessaryforpeopleofallagestolearn.First,withthedevelopmentofscienceandtechnology,knowledgesareupdatedeveryday.Ifonedoesntwanttolearn,hisknowledgewillbeoutofdate.Becauseofthereisnotstandingstillintheworld,onemustkeeplearning.Second,learningisanexperienceofgaining,seekingandowning.Itsgreatfuntolearn.Onlybylearningcanonefindsthejoyinlife.Otherwise,hislifewillbeaboringone.Knowledgeistoapersonwhatpetrolistoacar.Soitisprettyimportantforonetospendtimeandeffortstogainknowledge.Themoreonelearnsthemoreignoranthewillfindhimself,andthuswhatonehaslearnedcanneverbeenough.Inthemodernsocietywherenewtechnologyanddiscoverymakestheirappearancewitheachpassingday,ifonewantstokeeppacewithothers,avoidbeingoutofdateandcontributetothesociety,oneshouldpursuehisstudiesallthroughhislife.AsastudentlivesintheInformationAge.Thistruthtellsmethatoneshouldoftenlearningsomethinginhislifetolethimselfliveup-to-datenomatterhowoldheis.Inthismodernsocietywherescienceandtechnologyarealsorenewingswiftly,thisoldsayingseemstobemoreandmoresignificanttous. 9 WhyWeNeedAGoodSleep?Oneofthebestwaystorelaxissleepingandaboutonethirdofourlifeisspentonsleeping.Whywesleepeveryday?Whenwesleep,ourbodiesarebeing“repaired”.Alotofnaturalchemicalscomeintoourbloodwhilewesleepandthesecanhelpcureminorillnesssuchascolds.Goodsleepnotonlyhasgreatsignificanceforourhealth,butalsoishelpfultoourlearningandourlife.Fewpeoplerealizehowimportantsleepis.Sleepisnotjustaformofrest.Sleepplaysacriticalphysiologicalfunction,andindispensableforyourintellectualdevelopment.Thosewhodonotrespecttheirsleeparenotlikelytolivetotheirfullmentalpotential.Goodsleepcanhavemanyfunctions:removingtiredness,recoveringenergy,protectingthebrain,enhancingresistance,promotinggrowthanddevelopment,andimprovingone ，looks.Apartfromthephysicalinfluence,goodsleepisnecessaryforlearningandliving.Withoutsleepwereducetheretentionoffactswelearnedthepreciousday.Studyingnightsbeforeanexammaybesufficientforpassingtheexam,yetitwillleavefewusefultraces.Sleepingwellisoneofthecharactersofapersonwhoislikelytobesuccessfulinlearning.Bycuttingdownonsleepwelearnless,wedevelopless,wearelessbright,wemakeworsedecisions,wearemorepronetoerrors,andwedetermineourtrueintellectualpotential.

In brief,negotiator who may come form one nation is different from another in language, belief, and behavior.So in the business negotiation,one should recognize and accept the differences, respect the opponents culture, and understand his particular styles.Thank you!11 The Attraction of Risky ActivitiesIn the past， people often faced many dangers in their daily lives. They had to cope with not only natural disasters and frequent outbreaks of disease， but also dangerous animals and warfare. The need to hunt and to protect their territory from other people required them to be skilled in the use of weapons. In addition， any travel also involved great risk as there were few roads and bridges. Nowadays， people do not have to live with such dangers on a daily basis， and yet many people choose to involve themselves in risky activities such as dangerous sports. I believe the following reasons can explain the attraction of such activities.One reason people are attracted to risky activities is that hey crave excitement. The thrill of mountain
