The Secrets of Happiness Many people search for the secrets of happiness, hoping to find a way to feel joy and contentment in their lives. While there isn’t a single, universal formula for happiness, there are some common practices that can help lead to a happier life. One of the secrets of happiness is gratitude. Being thankful for what we have, rather than focusing on what we don’t have, can shift our perspective and make us appreciate life more. Try keeping a gratitude journal where you write down three things you’re thankful for each day. This simple practice can help you focus on the positive aspects of your life. Another secret is staying active. Physical exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of basketball, or a dance class, finding an activity you enjoy and doing it regularly can boost your mood and overall well-being. Spending time with loved ones is also crucial for happiness. Strong relationships provide emotional support and make us feel valued and loved. Make an effort to connect with family and friends, whether through face-to-face interactions, phone calls, or video chats. Lastly, pursuing hobbies and passions can bring immense joy and satisfaction. Engaging in activities that you love allows you to escape from daily stresses and focus on something you enjoy. Whether it’s painting, gardening, reading, or playing a musical instrument, finding time for your hobbies can greatly enhance your happiness. Remember, happiness is a journey, not a destination. By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you can gradually build a foundation for a happier, more fulfilling life. 1．What is one of the secrets of happiness mentioned in the article? 2．What is the purpose of keeping a gratitude journal? 3．How can physical exercise contribute to happiness? 4．Why is spending time with loved ones important for happiness? 5．What does the article suggest about happiness in the last sentence? 【答案】1．One of the secrets of happiness mentioned in the article is gratitude. 2．The purpose of keeping a gratitude journal is to help you focus on the positive aspects of your life. 3．Physical exercise contributes to happiness by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. 4．Spending time with loved ones is important for happiness because strong relationships provide emotional support and make us feel valued and loved. 5．Happiness is a journey, not a destination. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述许多人探寻幸福的秘诀，尽管没有单一通用的幸福公式，但存在一些有助于通往更幸福生活的常见做法，并具体阐述了这些做法，包括感恩、保持活跃、与爱人相处、追求爱好等。 1．根据“One of the secrets of happiness is gratitude.”可知，此处提及幸福的秘诀之一是感恩，所以幸福的秘诀之一是感恩。故填One of the secrets of happiness mentioned in the article is gratitude. 2．根据“Try keeping a gratitude...aspects of your life.”可知，写感恩日记的目的是帮助人们关注生活中的积极面。故填The purpose of keeping a gratitude journal is to help you focus on the positive aspects of your life. 3．根据“Physical exercise releases...mood lifters.”可知，体育锻炼能释放内啡肽，这是天然的情绪助推剂，所以体育锻炼能通过释放内啡肽来提升幸福感。故填Physical exercise contributes to happiness by releasing endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. 4．根据“Strong relationships provide...valued and loved.”可知，和所爱的人在一起能提供情感支持，让我们感到被重视和被爱，这就是它对幸福很重要的原因。故填Spending time with loved ones is important for happiness because strong relationships provide emotional support and make us feel valued and loved. 5．根据“Remember, happiness is a journey, not a destination.”可知，文章在最后一句表明幸福是一段旅程，而不是一个终点。故填Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

The Origin of the Marathon The marathon is a well-known and highly respected event in modern Olympics. However, its origin dates back to an ancient Greek battle during the Persian Wars. In the 5th century BC, the Persians invaded Greece and landed at Marathon, a small town approximately 26 miles (about 42 kilometers) from Athens. The Greek army, led by Miltiades, managed to defeat the Persian forces with significantly fewer soldiers. To quickly spread the news of this historic victory to the people of Athens, a soldier named Phidippides (or sometimes referred to as Pheidippides or Filippides in different sources) was chosen for the task due to his remarkable speed. Phidippides ran from the battlefield at Marathon to the central square in Athens. The journey was arduous, covering over 40 kilometers (some sources mention 26 miles, which is approximately 41.8 kilometers). Despite his exhaustion and injuries from the battle, Phidippides reached Athens and announced, “Rejoice, we conquer!” (or similar variations like “Athens is saved!”) Soon after delivering the message, Phidippides collapsed and died from exhaustion. To honor Phidippides’ bravery and the Greek victory, the Greeks decided to include a race in the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896. This race was named the “marathon” and its distance was initially set to be around 40 kilometers, based on the legend of Phidippides’ journey. However, the exact distance varied in early Olympics until it was officially standardized to 42 kilometers and 195 meters in 1920, after a remeasurement of the route from Marathon to Athens’ central square. 1．Where did the marathon originate from? 2．Who was Phidippides and what did he do? 3．When was the first modern marathon held? 4．Why is the marathon distance 42 kilometers and 195 meters? 5．How did the marathon become an Olympic event? 【答案】1．The marathon originated from an ancient Greek battle during the Persian Wars. 2．He was a Greek soldier.

Spend some time doing your favourite things because they make you smile and feel good. Second, some people can make you happy and feel good. Make friends with these people. Good friends are like special teammates (队友). They can help you get through hard time and celebrate your successes. Third, stay active (活跃的). Playing games, exercising in the morning, or even just walking around can help you feel happier. Lastly, think about good things in your life. The good things can be funny jokes, beautiful sunsets, or a good job. Focusing on (专注于) these can make you happy. Just remember, you can choose to be happy.

The Secrets of Happiness Many people search for the secrets of happiness, hoping to find a way to feel joy and contentment in their lives. While there isn’t a single, universal formula for happiness, there are some common practices that can help lead to a happier life. One of the secrets of happiness is gratitude. Being thankful for what we have, rather than focusing on what we don’t have, can shift our perspective and make us appreciate life more. Try keeping a gratitude journal where you write down three things you’re thankful for each day. This simple practice can help you focus on the positive aspects of your life. Another secret is staying active. Physical exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of basketball, or a dance class, finding an activity you enjoy and doing it regularly can boost your mood and overall well-being. Spending time with loved ones is also crucial for happiness. Strong relationships provide emotional support and make us feel valued and loved. Make an effort to connect with family and friends, whether through face-to-face interactions, phone calls, or video chats. Lastly, pursuing hobbies and passions can bring immense joy and satisfaction. Engaging in activities that you love allows you to escape from daily stresses and focus on something you enjoy. Whether it’s painting, gardening, reading, or playing a musical instrument, finding time for your hobbies can greatly enhance your happiness. Remember, happiness is a journey, not a destination. By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you can gradually build a foundation for a happier, more fulfilling life. 1．What is one of the secrets of happiness mentioned in the article? 2．What is the purpose of keeping a gratitude journal? 3．How can physical exercise contribute to happiness? 4．Why is spending time with loved ones important for happiness? 5．What does the article suggest about happiness in the last sentence?

The Origin of the Marathon The marathon is a well-known and highly respected event in modern Olympics. However, its origin dates back to an ancient Greek battle during the Persian Wars. In the 5th century BC, the Persians invaded Greece and landed at Marathon, a small town approximately 26 miles (about 42 kilometers) from Athens. The Greek army, led by Miltiades, managed to defeat the Persian forces with significantly fewer soldiers. To quickly spread the news of this historic victory to the people of Athens, a soldier named Phidippides (or sometimes referred to as Pheidippides or Filippides in different sources) was chosen for the task due to his remarkable speed. Phidippides ran from the battlefield at Marathon to the central square in Athens. The journey was arduous, covering over 40 kilometers (some sources mention 26 miles, which is approximately 41.8 kilometers). Despite his exhaustion and injuries from the battle, Phidippides reached Athens and announced, “Rejoice, we conquer!” (or similar variations like “Athens is saved!”) Soon after delivering the message, Phidippides collapsed and died from exhaustion. To honor Phidippides’ bravery and the Greek victory, the Greeks decided to include a race in the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896. This race was named the “marathon” and its distance was initially set to be around 40 kilometers, based on the legend of Phidippides’ journey. However, the exact distance varied in early Olympics until it was officially standardized to 42 kilometers and 195 meters in 1920, after a remeasurement of the route from Marathon to Athens’ central square. 1．Where did the marathon originate from? 2．Who was Phidippides and what did he do? 3．When was the first modern marathon held? 4．Why is the marathon distance 42 kilometers and 195 meters? 5．How did the marathon become an Olympic event? 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息回答下面问题。 Sports are an important part of our school life.
