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 a 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 of the passage is ___________ .

If you've ever walked through fog （雾），you might have noticed that your skin and hair get wet.This is because fog is made of tiny water drops.Scientists are helping people collect these drops to make drinking water.
In some towns，there is no fresh water.People there have to use trucks to carry fresh water. It is expensive.
Since rain falls to the ground，it can easily be collected into tanks （水箱）.But the water drops that make up fog don't hit the ground.Instead，they float （漂浮） in the air.To turn fog into water，you have to catch the water drops.
A fog catcher is made of nets with two posts.The nets are usually set up on a hilltop.As fog passes by，the nets catch the water drops.The drops run down the nets and into channels.The channels lead the water into large tanks where it can be stored.A fog catcher can collect 10，000 liters of water a day.Scientists have helped set up fog catchers for towns in Chile，Nepal and Mexico.
Fog catchers are a great way for people in small and lonely towns to have their own fresh water.Centuries before scientists created fog﹣catching nets，nature was making fog into water on its own.As fog passed through the mountains，large leaves got the drops just like the nets do.People learned to drink the water collected on the leaves.Thanks to modern fog catchers，enough water can be made for a whole town!

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette （长棍面包） is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower，" said Dominigue Anract，president of the Confederation of French Bakers.
So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.
UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list，it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.
The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things：water，wheat flour，yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented （发酵） for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.
Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However，as supermarkets continue to take over，tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette，" Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."

Dear Mum and Dad，
I'm very happy to spend some time with Lingling's uncle in Hunan province，and I'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area.It's very large，about 390 square kilometers，and it's a magic land of mountains，forests and rivers.It's famous for the strange shape of its all rocks.
Last night we camped by a small lake.During the night，I heard a loud noise，as if someone was laughing.I woke up Lingling and her uncle，and I asked them what the noise was.Lingling's uncle told us not to worry，and left the tent to find out what it was.After a few minutes，he told us to come out quickly.Then he pointed into the forest.It was a monkey.When it saw us，it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.
Tomorrow we're going to Mount Tianzi.I'll go back next week!Wish you were here!
Love，
Sally.
