Science shows that helping others can make you feel good too. The key is to find the way that works for you.
There's a Chinese saying that goes, "If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit(继承)a large amount of money. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. "
For thousands of years, great thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others. Scientific research provides compelling(令人信服的) data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier, and more productive and meaningful.
Giving can feel great. And as we learn early, it's better to give than to receive. And the more you give, the more you are likely to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness. Follow these tips:
The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. We don't all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. We can give some of this time to help others— whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year.
When you give to a cause(事业), what should you pay attention to? Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says, "giving to a cause that specifies(具体说明) what they're going to do with your money or service leads to more happiness".
"Selfless giving easily becomes overwhelming(无法抗拒的), " psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. You matter too!
Set aside time to serve your community, think about your choices, and find the cause and type of service that best match your values.

While she'd visited the French capital twice as a young adult, France wasn't necessarily one of Regan's favorite places.
However, during that "life-changing" term in the south of France, French culture opened her eyes in a way that changed her life.
"In the United States, especially at that time, you would meet someone for coffee, and they would be there, but they would be looking almost past you because they would be thinking of their next date, " she says. "And in France, you will go have a coffee and it was just like the world stopped for hours. "
On returning to the US, Regan signed up for an international MBA program. It would allow her to spend a whole year in France. Once she graduated, Regan was offered an internship (实习工作) at a company in Paris in 2002, which provided her with the chance to live in the French capital.
"I thought that was incredible, " she says. "And it would be an opportunity that would be silly to pass by. "
As she settled into (适应) life in Paris, Regan was attracted by its culture, especially the city's restaurants and museums, and "just how much fun you could have" there. She says that she planned to live and work in the European city for a year or two at first.
However, Regan fell in love with a Frenchman named Julien. They got married in 2007. "I had already been in Paris for three years, " she adds. "So I was really enjoying my life.

Can you imagine how a man fought off a great white shark to save his son?
Recently, a 16-year-old boy, Nathan Ness, was bitten by a great white shark while on a fishing trip in South Australia. The great white shark was about 6 feet in length.

As we know, Harry Potter is a fictional character created by British author J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter was first introduced in the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which (publish) in 1997.
Some Harry Potter fans were (happy) early this year when actress Miriam Margolyes said the books and films are for young people, not adults. She said adults who enjoy Harry Potter should forget about it and go on to other things. Margolyes played Professor Sprout in popular movies.
But according to new data from the UK, a lot of older people enjoy (read) books that are classified as "young adult", or "YA". YA fiction is usually written for people aged 12 and 18. However, a new report has found that three-quarters of YA readers in the UK are adults, and almost one-third are aged over 28. So do adults enjoy fiction that's written for teenagers? The report said it may be because adults are now "growing up more slowly", those aged over 18 feel that the themes of YA books still relate to their lives. YA fiction may give them (comfortable) as they delay(推迟)"adult life", the report said. The period of development between the ages of 18 and 25 is called "emerging(新兴的) adulthood".
However, some of those who enjoy YA books say there are a number of other reasons why they like them. Some think of YA books as just another genre(类型)(enjoy)— and there are examples of good YA fiction and bad YA fiction. Others say YA books can be (easy) to read and enjoy if you're feeling tired or stressed, because they're written for a younger audience.

What is it like to be a horse? I can tell you because I've been one all my life. And what a life it has been!
It had plenty of grass, a pond, and trees for shade. There was a shed(棚) at one end where we could stand when it was cold. Outside the fence lay more fields, a stream, and our master's house.
I ran and played with the other colts(小雄马驹). These colts were all older and bigger than me. Sometimes their play turned rough, with lots of kicking and biting.
One day, my mother called me away from them. "I hope you will grow up gentle and kind, " she told me. "I do not want you to bite or kick, even at play. You should always be good, and do your work as well as you can. "
Our master's name was Farmer Grey. He always had kind words and pa ts for all the horses. He was kind and fair to his workers as well.
Most of our days were quiet and pleasant. Yet there was one other incident that I have never forgotten. One day, I was grazing in the field with the other colts when we heard dogs howling in the distance. The hounds(猎狗) came first, racing after a speedy rabbit. Next came a group of riders.
The rabbit scampered down the hill and leaped across the stream. The hounds followed. But one slipped on the grass and fell down. His rider, a handsome young man, was flung off. He landed hard and lay still on the grass.
"I don't understand why people are so interested in hunting, " my mother said. "Then again we're only horses. "
I didn't know the answer to that. But soon I would learn more about the mysterious (神秘的) ways of humans, when I left that pleasant field behind forever.
A. I never forget this advice from my mother.
B. Most of the horses jumped the stream easily.
C. We all watched as the hunters came into sight.
D. Who expects us to understand the ways of humans?
E. They returned to check on him, but he never got up.
F. The first thing I remember is the field where I was born.
G. Humans sometimes run after rabbits and foxes on horseback.

Laurie had just come home from school when she heard a light hammering sound coming from Grandpa's study. Curious, she tapped on the door. "Grandpa? Can I come in?"
"Just a second!" Grandpa answered. Laurie heard lots of shuffling (拖着脚走). "Enter!"
Grandpa was sitting empty-handed at his desk, but there were wood shavings everywhere. "Aren't you supposed to be at school?" he asked.
"It's over at three. What were you doing in here?" Laurie said suspiciously(怀疑地). She saw something wooden poking out from underneath a book. "Aha!" she cried, pulling the object out. "What's this?"
"Well, that's your birthday gift. But now it won't be a surprise, " Grandpa said.
It was a wooden crocodile with a string attached to the top of its head so the mouth could be opened and shut.
"It's an ancient Egyptian toy, " Grandpa said. "I made this, but if you were a child in ancient Egypt, you might have something similar. Crocodiles were an important part of Egyptian life, and many crocodiles lived in theNile River.
"The Egyptians depended on the Nile River for many things. It flooded every year, supplying much-needed water and nutrients to the surrounding land. This made farming easy for the Egyptians. The soft, wet land also made good mud for building mud-brick houses.
"And the river unified the people of the area by providing a convenient highway for transportation and communication.
"Ancient Egypt was an agricultural society. " If you were a little Egyptian girl living about four thousand years ago, your father would probably be a grain farmer. Grains were the most common crop, especially w heat and barley, which were used to make bread and beer— the most typical food and drink.
"Unfortunately, children didn't go to school like you do now. You'd probably spend most days helping your parents. During the harvest season maybe you would bundle(捆扎) wheat up on the farm. Or perhaps you'd be at home, helping to cook or take care of the vegetable garden near your house. "
Just then, Mom called from downstairs, "Laurie! I'm home!"
"Hi, Mom! I'll be right down!" Laurie hollered back. "Thanks, Grandpa. I' ll pretend I never saw this, " she said, putting the crocodile back on the desk. "Until next time!"
"Until next time! Bye, Laurie!"

Here's a joke for you: Why did the crab(螃蟹) cross the road? It didn't. It used the sidewalk. This was one of the top ten jokes in a very unusual competition held in April, 2024. A small museum in southeast England held the inaugural World's Funniest Crab Joke competition.

No rude jokes or jokes that were scientifically inaccurate(不准确的) were allowed. One of the aims of the competition was to get people thinking about crabs and nature, according to the museum.
This year's winner was:
A man walks into a restaurant with a crab under his arm and says, "Do you make crab cakes?"
The manager answers, "Yes, we do. "

Hobbies do more than filling time, they shape our lives. Let's explore how hobbies make life brighter.
Hobbies help our brains take a break from worries. For example, drawing or coloring can help us calm down. The sound of a paintbrush moving on paper calms our thoughts. Even 15 minutes of hobby time each day can be helpful.
Shared hobbies bring people together. Imagine joining a school photography club: you meet someone who also loves taking photos. You exchange tips, laugh over funny pictures, and celebrate good ones. Friends made through hobbies often share stronger connections.
Hobbies secretly train us for future difficulties. For example, gardening teaches patience as we wait or seeds to grow. Creative writing improves imagination and language skills. These later help in jobs, relationships, and personal growth.
Hobbies are not just fun, they are classrooms where we learn without textbooks! For example, growing plants helps you learn biology and cooking shows science. So next time you practice a hobby, remember: you're not just having fun—you're collecting wisdom(智慧) one step at a time!
A. Relaxing the Mind
B. Developing Life Skills
C. Making More Money
D. Getting Some Knowledge
E. Building Friendship Bridges
What can you get from your hobbies?(不超过 15 个词)

After busy lunch hours, food delivery drivers(外卖骑手) in Beijing finally got time to eat. Liu Lijie, a40-year-old driver, parked at a restaurant called Doornail Meat Pie(门钉肉饼) and bought a pie for 3 yuan, only half of the usual price.
Many migrant workers(外来务工人员), like Liu Lijie, come to Beijing to find jobs. They often meet some difficulties, such as long working hours and high living costs. To offer them warm and cheap meals, many kind people are trying to help. One example is Feng Yong, a manager of Doornail Meat Pie. His restaurant is famous not just for its delicious food but also for its ""kindness meals". Sometimes, they are even free for people in need.

In spring, they are like silver rivers, shining brightly in the sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, the mountains are gold. And in winter, white snow covers them, making them look very beautiful. These changing colors are what the Longji Rice Terraces(龙脊梯田) look like all year round.
The Longji Rice Terraces were built by the Zhuang and Yao people hundreds of years ago. You might wonder why the Zhuang and Yao people worked so hard to make these terraces. Well, here are the reasons. First, in this area, there were few big, flat(平的)pieces of land. By building these terraces, they could get more places to grow things. Second, the flat terraces can catch the rainwater on rainy days. This helps stop the soil(土壤) from being washed away.
So how do the terraces work? There are hundreds of connected waterways. During the rainy season, rainwater runs down the mountains through these water ways and into the terraces. Then, the sun heats(加热) the water, and it turns into vapor. This vapor forms clouds, and later it rains again onto the terraces.
Even though modern tech no logy can help grow more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people and they pass down the knowledge of taking care of the terraces. So, people today still use the old ways to keep the terraces in good condition. Today, people come from far away to see this great wonder which shows how people work together with nature.
