When asking about happiness, we often think of something unusual, that seems to be hard to get as we grow older. Sometimes, the more we can enjoy what we have, the happy we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friend, the freedom to live in where we please, and even good health. So happiness isn’t about something that happens to us, it’s about how we see it in the reasonable way. Generally speaking, we were willing to hold a positive attitude towards things around us, and we should not look forward what we don’t have, but enjoy what they do have.

Books can be your best friends. 1. . They can introduce you the things you may never see... But do you know how to read them in order to get the fullest enjoyment possible? The following tips should help.
1. Find a book. Look in the library or in one of the large bookstores. You could also ask friends if you could have a book at their book shelves. Search the selves until you find a book that looks good. Read the first page to see how it reads, and the cover text on the back of the book, if it has any. 2.
2. Buy or borrow it and take it home. Do not start to read it until you have the time. 3. And set aside time to do nothing else but read, as it can be, at times, suspenseful(悬疑的), exciting and relaxing.
3. Get comfortable on the couch. Have a lamp behind you, lighting the area where you are reading. Make sure the television is off and that anything else that could distract you has been attended to. 4.
4. Start the book by turning the pages and really enjoy it. Do not think about anything else but what you are reading. Put yourself into the action or location in the story. Once you concentrate completely, it will be difficult to put the book down. And remember that reading is not running your eyes over a book. 5. However, if you need to read the book quickly, then you do not need to pay attention to every word.
A. Otherwise, you will miss it.
B. Try to imagine the story in your head.
C. You should read it actively and enjoy it completely.
D. They can take you to places that you may never go.

F. Get warm if you are going to be sitting still for a few hours.
G. If you are busy doing other things, you should wait until you have finished them.
If you are tired of common hotel rooms, maybe it’s time to climb into a tree. A new generation of tree houses are appearing across the world, and designer Roderick Romero says he knows why and he said “They're magical. I’ve never seen someone climb into a tree house and not smile.”
Edisto River Canadys, S. C.
Before you can stay in one of the wilderness tree houses, you first have to canoe down the Edisto River. The paddle-in homes offer a cooking gear and comfortable sleeping bed. “It’s a really good place to get back to nature,” Romero says. The lofts have gas stoves and are lit by lanterns. The website: caneosc.com
Treehotel
Romero was astonished when he first saw the buildings at this hotel 40 miles south of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. “It blew my mind. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.” he says. The hotel rooms draws heavily on spare Scandinavian design. “Architecturally this is one of the coolest ideas for a tree house.’’ The website: treehotel.se
Hideaway Cafe
While most treehouses are found in the woods, this coffee shop and inn turns the idea on its head with a location in downtown Tokyo. The building itself stands on stilts with a tree growing through the center of it. The cafe was the first treehouse designed by Kobayashi Takashi, who has since created more than 120 homes. “He’s one of my heroes.” Romero says, “In the treehouse community, he’s who we talk about the most.” The website: treehouse.jp/ hideaway/.
Tongabezi
One of the world’s most stylish treehouses perches in a tree alongside the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls. The large pine deck holds a bed and Turkish carpets. Guests can go on safati, or simply stay in their perch and watch for hippos playing in the river. The website: below.tongabezi.com.

Parents whose children think the latest Nike or Adidas shoes may be better than buying old-fashioned plimsolls (橡胶底帆布鞋) because they encourage a healthier style of running, researchers said.
Big companies, like Nike and Adidas, make millions of dollars from selling highly-cushioned shoes（厚增高的运动鞋) both as fashion and sports shoes. The researchers warn that wearing such shoes from an early age can make it difficult to run in a healthy way. Once we have grown used to running in this kind of shoes, it is very difficult to change our technique, even if we remove our shoes, it can raise the risk of injury.
Children should be encouraged to wear shoes with thin soles such as plimsolls from a young age to help them develop a natural “barefoot” running style, experts said.
Dr Mick Wilknson, who did the research, told the British Science Festival in Newcastle, “If I would advise someone on what to give their child, I would say don’t go and buy them expensive Adidas or Nike, just get them a pair of flexible, flat shoes. Give them basic foot-ware, nothing fancy, nothing particularly cushioned.”
Running in flat shoes, barefoot, encourages the runner to use the front of their foot which is a better technique for running, especially long distances as the human was designed to do.
Around the world, and in particular in the US, running barefoot is becoming more and more popular with many long distance runners training without shoes.
Dr Mick Wilknson believes that training and running barefoot or in flat running shoes can help reduce injuries to runners, he said: “Injury rates in running have not changed since the 1970s, despite claims of improvements in running shoes. That has led some to conclude that barefoot running is better.”
1.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Nike and Adidas are producing low-quality trainers.
B. It is improper to wear hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
C. It is unnecessary to buy hi-tech Trainers at an early age.
D. Hi-tech Trainers are too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
2.Why are people advised to wear plimsolls?
A. They have a new fashion
B. They have better quality.
C. They are healthier
D. They are cheaper.
3.What can we infer according to Dr Mick Wilknson?
A. Shoes industry is gradually declining(下降).
B. Barefoot running is more popular with people.
C. Plain plimsolls will be replaced by barefoot running.
D. People mustn’t run without shoes for a long distance.
4.Who is the passage written mainly for?
A. The boss of shoes shop
B. The runner of long distance
C. The boss of producing shoes
D. The parents of young children
