27、A young couple that had received many valuable wedding(结婚) presents built their house in a suburb. One morning they received in the post two tickets for a popular show in the city, with a single line:

28、What is the definition of “happiness?” Is it material wealth filled with fancy cars, a dream house or jewelry? Or does happiness simply mean having a roof over your head? Food in the fridge? Having a swimming pool? A designer Gucci bag? Love? Money? A perfect job?

Do you recall a time----let’s say when you were about 5 years old-----what defined happiness back then? Was it getting a puppy for Christmas? Or maybe, you were a child of divorce; and all you wanted was for Mom and Dad to get back together again? Then as you got older, you were hoping that someone would ask you to the party that would have made your day. During college, good grades made you happy, but it was short-lived. Because in the real world, you had to look for a job, and competition was fierce. But then, you got a perfect job, could you be happy?

We like having and accumulating things. We work so we can pay our rents, credit card debts, school loans, car payments… The list goes on and on. And at some point, we realize that apart from having most of what we want, we still aren’t happy. Now since we’ve learned to adapt to new standards which we’ve created for ourselves, we find that we have less time, less patience, less sleep, which leads to more stress and more anxiety. Therefore, don’t stupidly make a conclusion that happiness is just based on “things”.

Sometimes, we trade our lives for not only basic necessities, but for excessive items and services as well. Certainly, you’ve heard of individuals trying to “find themselves”, or to “rediscover themselves”. But the point has been missed: happiness is already there.

Disappointments and tragedies in life will come and go, but happiness never leaves you. We can lose our jobs, but be grateful for those who love us. We can lose our homes to nature, but be thankful to be alive. If we think we are happy, we are indeed happy. Happiness is merely a perception of each individual.

Happiness is part of love, and love is an ocean. Go dive in and get some, and then share it with everyone, which can be an endless supply. But sharing happiness with people around demands skilful techniques.

A. ask readers for information

C. people have to work hard to pay for daily necessities

A. they haven’t got lost in the material life

B. each individual has different opinions on happiness

C. there has existed something worth making them happy

D. it is not necessary for them to bear heavy financial burden

29、Ways to boost your chances of a good night’s rest

Experts have found more evidence of the harm caused by disturbing our body clocks, linking it to depression and mental disorder. It’s a warning to our body’s natural rhythms, which influence our sleep as well as a range of other processes in our body. Here are the things we can do for a good night’s sleep.

●Limit evening light. Are you inseparable from your mobile phone? Do you check your social media late into the night? 【1】 These devices produce powerful blue light that is particularly bad for our sleep. Having a cut-off time for stopping using these devices of an hour and a half before bed is ideal. We should also limit other forms of electric light after sunset.

●【2】 A glass or two of wine, or a sip or two of brandy, for many is a pre-bed routine. But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep. Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it makes it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.

●Be consistent. It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday.【3】This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend. The bigger the social mismatch, the more harmful it is for health.

●Have a pre-bed routine. Having a pre-bed routine helps signal to our bodies that it’s time for sleep. Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed. Parents do this with their child to get good sleep. They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.【4】

●Make your bedroom a place of rest. Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries (保护区) of rest into places of entertainment. But if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep.【5】 Keeping your bedroom cool is also important because it’s easier for our bodies to sleep in colder temperatures.

A．Avoid a night wine.

B．Get a good night’s sleep.

C．If so, you’re likely to be disturbing your sleep.

D．There’s nothing around them and then they read them a story.

E．To do this we should keep phones and computers in other rooms.

F．Our body clocks are designed to follow the rise and fall of our sleep.

G．However, ideally we should go to bed at similar times throughout the week.

30、If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would _______: surfing (冲浪运动). But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people _______. Most certainly not.

I started surfing about five years ago and_______in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first _______ was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

When I try to _______ surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my _______, there’s nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body, _______, and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all _______ us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that _______, becoming one with the________, is like I’m weightless.

The one thing I can ________ from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge(挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean ________ an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive(活跃有力的) and ________. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it ________ from any other sport.

I’ve ________ to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new ________, so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start ________ the limits(极限) of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰)?

There’re women ________ side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys ________ the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to ________, and they will.
