Last Sunday I witnessed traffic accident on my way home. I was wandering down the sidewalk while I heard a loud noise. Two taxis crashed into each other about ten meter away. I went up and found the two drivers badly injured, bleeding or trapped in the taxis. Lucky, they were rescued in time because of people came to help them and called an ambulance. It was clear that the taxi drivers were such eager to take more passengers that they drive too fast. These drivers lacked responsibility for the safe of their passengers. What they did was dangerous for others as well as them.

The World Happiness Report, a United Nations agency report, measures (估量) how happy people are, and why. Norway is the happiest place on earth—beating neighbour Denmark from the number one position.
Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland are among the top five, while the Central African Republic came last. Western Europe and North America took up most of the places at the top of table, with the US and UK at 14th and 19th respectively.
The World Happiness Report mainly depends on asking a simple question of more than 1,000 people every year in more than 150 countries. “Imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top,” the question asks. “The top of the ladder is the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder is the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?”
The average (平均的) result is the country’s score—from Norway’s 7.54 to the central African Republic’s 2.69. But the report also tries to explain why one country is happier than another. It looks at reasons including economic strength, social support, freedom of choice, and generosity.
This year’s report also has a text titled “restoring (恢复) American happiness”, which examines why happiness levels in the United States are falling, despite continually-increasing economic improvement. “The United States can and should raise happiness by solving American’s social problems—rising inequality and distrust—rather than focusing mainly on economic growth,” the authors said.
Jeffrey Sachs, the director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report, said President Donald Trump’s policies were likely to make things worse.
