in different cultures may be different. depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and amusement, but it can also indicate embarrassment. the following examples show this point of view: in an attempt to be open and friendly, people in the united states smile a lot. every one smiles at each other, this nonverbal communication shows being friendly in the united states. however，in china, smiling is not only an expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid being embarrassed. chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer（嘲笑）. for example: when a child falls off from a bike, the adults in china may smile, which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.when a person from the united states might blush（脸红）with embarrassment or become offensive, a chinese might blush with smile. to avoid serious misunderstanding, people who engage in intercultural communication should be able to understand the meaning of smiling appropriately. related to the smile is the laugh. also, different cultures have different meanings about laugh. for

immediate pleasure. we all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy car we cant afford. it might feel great at the time but unwise spending hurts a lot later on. enjoy lifes simple pleasures and save as much as you can. expensive things dont create lasting happiness and security. careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.2. put your money to worksaving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40s or in your 60s. a post today at the simple dollar really got me thinking. according to trents estimates, if a person in their early 20s invests 20% of their income in an s&p index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40s. they could retire without a drop in income! wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and its something everyone can work on. its definitely an area ill be devoting more attention to in my personal life.3. educate yourselfto be happy we need continuous growth. the best way to grow is life-long education. this doesnt mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. self-education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. the important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives. education builds over time. it might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire dont mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.4. develop lasting personal relationshipssuppose you had everything you wanted. would you be happy without anyone to share it with? the personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. dont forget about them. taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. without the people you care about youll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.46.according to the passage, in order to achieve financial independence after retirement, wed better _.a. get along well with our family and friendsb. bring ourselves leisure as well as enjoymentc. invest our money wisely when we are youngd. learn some new skills and try to find a new job47.from the passage we can infer that some people try to _.a. gain happiness by buying themselves expensive thingsb. save everything they can to help those in needc. devote more attention to their personal lifed. take out a loan to promote technology48.the author of the passage may agree that the key to self-education is _.a. gaining as many degrees as possibleb. being open to new ideas and viewsc. only focusing on very big eventsd. creating long-term happiness49.the above passage is written in order to _.a. explain what true happiness is aboutb. offer ways to achieve a happy and successful lifec. introduce different definitions about happinessd. persuade readers to find out the meaning of life46.c 根据文章第二段trent的估计内容，以及后面两个句子的内容可以知道。 47.a 根据文章的第一段倒数第二句话（昂贵的物品并不能带来持久的幸福和安全）可知。48.b 根据文章第三段the important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives可知。 49.b
