Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so ,you will find “Being a Happy Teenager” by Australian writer Andrew Matthews  useful. In his book, Matthews  tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.
The book says we should stop being angry. The book tells us some useful skills. For example, if you want to make your memory(记忆) better, you can put what you have learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers think  that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.
Success comes from a good attitude(态度). If you learn from problems, you have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way.
If you are  tall , you can get a  better view(视线) at the movie. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’ most important lesson : you choose to be happy!

Imagine a world where air pollution is no longer a problem. Clean air is all around us. People don’t have to worry about polluting the air every time they take the bus.
A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid buses. They run on diesel (柴油的) and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner.
The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. “I get to have clean air for a change”, said driver Melvin Day. “I’m smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones.”
The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel (燃料). They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.
The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries (电池) on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.
Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses.
One other bit of good news: the price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.
Why are the new buses better for the environment?

A.Because they’re cheaper than the old ones.
B.Because they’re very quiet.
C.Because they run on diesel and electric power.
D.Because they are new.

It was once thought that only time could mend a broken heart, but now scientists think taking a couple of aspirin might be the best way to get over a break-up.
Previous studies have shown that people experience feelings of romantic rejection (失恋) in the same way that they experience physical pain. And Psychology Professor Water Michel, of Columbia University, also believes that the psychological pain of ending a relationship is similar to physical pain, and should be treated like any other injury. “When we speak about rejection experiences in terms of physical pain, it is not just a metaphor – the broken heart and emotional pain really do hurt in a physical way," he said. “When you look at a picture of the one who broke your heart, you experience a pain in a similar area of the brain which is activated when you burn your arm. ”
Research shows that people who are given a simple painkiller, like aspirin, are able to handle feelings of rejection better than those given a placebo (安慰剂) .
‘Take two aspirins and call me next morning’ would be a cold-hearted response to a friend’s late-night report of fresh heartbreak, but it has a solid basis in the research.
The aspirin is a kind of _________.

A.wine B.fruit C.dessert D.medicine
