Will you be happy if you have a new Nike Tshirt on? Probably you will. But what if you see a friend 1 a more fashionable (时髦的) and more beautiful one? You may not feel as satisfied 2 you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute.
Why are we not so happy? The secret is: We focus on (专注) what we want instead of what we have. We keep making our list of desires (愿望) longer and longer. As a result, we are not pleased with what we have 3 owned. We say to ourselves, “Ill be happy when this desire is satisfied.” However, another desire appears when this one is met. So, we still dont feel happy though we have got what we want. Happiness 4 when we always have new desires hard to satisfy.
Luckily, there is a way to be happy. Think more about what we have than what we want. Rather than wish you were 5 to have an enjoyable vacation on the beach. Think of 6 fun you have had near home. Similarly, instead of hating to do much homework, 7 teachers for making you have the chance to practice more. The list of what you have can also be endless. Each time you find yourself falling into “I wish life will be different” trap (陷阱), take a deep breath and think of 8 you have ever had.
Pay more attention to what you have, and youll probably get more of what you want. 9 example, your good attitude toward doing homework can bring excellent grades because 10 makes perfect.
Start to focus on what we have!The more we feel satisfied, the more happily well live.

A lot of earthquakes happen in the world every year. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists tell us the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates (板块). The plates move very slowly. Sometimes they stop and dont move for a long time. When some of the earths plates move suddenly, an earthquake happens.
Many earthquakes happen under the sea. Sometimes they happen near mountains. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth.
During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even break open. Houses fall. People are killed or hurt. Sometimes whole villages or cities are destroyed.
Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show“earthquake belts”. In the areas in these belts, its possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can make houses strong enough to stand against earthquakes.
In the future, scientists will be able to predict (预言) exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. They can tell us what to do and how to do it as well.
