The answer is Denmark, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So, what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?The country is famous for its welfare system（福利体系）, that includes health care and education. But besides that, the main reason Danish people are so happy is because of their lifestyle.Have you heard of the word “hygge”?In English, it can be translated into comfort. But hygge is more than that-having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends under the sunshine on weekends, enjoying music, or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish peoples everyday life.Danish people also have a healthy habit-riding bikes. In Denmarks capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to protect the environment. It is also good for peoples health. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds about one to two years to persons lifetime.Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust others and people they dont even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city of Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isnt there. People just put money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.“The Danish have no great expectations about what they will do or what will happen to them,” Kaire Christensen, a university teacher said, “They are happy with what they have.”26 .

What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe welfare system in DenmarkBThe happy lifestyle in Denmark.CThe happiest place in DenmarkDThe expectations in Denmark.American country music is also known as (被称为) western country music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain.Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.Western country music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) in the American western countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins, and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played western country music.In recent years, many musicians have made western country music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers such as Carth Brooks, Reba McEmtire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles. They have brought western country music more and more fans from all over the world.30 . Western country music comes from the folk songs of immigrants from _.AAmericaBFranceCBritainDGermany31 .

In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live a comfortable life. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.But why their children still cant understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation ( 安慰 ), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have
