Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. The best title（标题）of the passage is ________.

Animals， including insects（昆虫）， don’t have a ‘language’ like ours. They do not ‘talk’ to each other in words and sentences（句子）. But if we watch them， we can see that they have their ways of communicating(交流) with each other.
Can you see the rabbit’s tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down， they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit told them something without（没有） making a sound. It has given them a signal(信号).
Many other animals use this kind of ‘language’. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry， it raises its head and makes itself look powerful(有力的). This warns other animals. When a bee(蜜蜂) found some food， it goes back to its home. It cannot ‘tell’ the other bees where the food is by speaking to them， but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals ‘say’ things by making sounds. A dog barks， for example， when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds， evry sound has its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings（人类） speak in the same way. We make sounds like“Oh” or “Ah” when we are afraid or happy or when we drop something on our toes.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Animals have languages like human beings. |
