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 the2

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at 'bed and breakfast' houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that mostfamilies were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English, and they thought 'VACANCIES' meant 'holidays', because the Spanish word for 'holidays' is 'vacaciones'.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said 'VACANCLES', which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said 'NO VACANCLES', because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish, the word 'DIVERSION' means fun.In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word 'DIVERSION' on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French.I meant that I would like some more.However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”当我住在西班牙，我的一些西班牙朋友决定去英国的车程。在他们离开之前，他们问我的意见如何找到住宿（住所）。我建议他们应该留在“床和早餐”的房子，因为这种住宿给外国游客的好机会讲英语的家庭。我的朋友听了我的意见，但他们带回来一些有趣的故事。“我们没有停留在床和早餐的房子，”他们说，“因为我们发现，大多数家庭外出度假。“我认为这是奇怪的。我终于明白发生了什么事。我的朋友说话一点英语，他们认为'空缺'的意思'假期'，因为西班牙语单词对于“假期”是“ vacaciones ”。因此，他们没有去房子里的符号表示外“ VACANCLES '，这在英文的意思是有免费的客房。然后我的朋友去房子里的牌子上写着“ NO VACANCLES '，因为他们认为这意味着人们谁拥有房子并没有外出度假。但他们发现，这些房子都是全部爆满。因此，他们住在酒店！我们笑了一下，并约在阅读其他标志犯了错误我的朋友。在西班牙语，单词“引水”是指fun.In英语，这意味着工人是修复道路，你必须采取不同的road.When我的朋友看到这个词上一个路标“引水”，他们认为他们将不得不fun.Instead，道路在一个大抱结束。英国人也有问题，当他们学习外语。一次在巴黎，当有人给我一些更多的咖啡，我说法语“谢谢”。我的意思是我想多一些。然而，出乎我的意料，咖啡壶被抢走了！后来我发现在法语中的意思是“谢谢你” “不，谢谢你。”

People often say that the Englishman‟s home is his castle.They mean that the home is very important and personal to him.Most people in Britain live in houses ratherthan flats,and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them,and change them in any way they like.Most house have a garden,even if it is a very small one,and the garden is usually loved.The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space.Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your?If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you.If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London.I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us.The man on the space on my side of the table at all.I was angry.Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table.I had read a book about non-verbal communication,so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase!When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head.I had invaded(侵犯)his space!A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them.He immediately moved his case to his side ofthe table.Of course,it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had saidthis to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course ,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question.They responded that their mons cooked and always toldthem what they were doing wrong to showtheir caring.I was stunned.So mon‟s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”.“Then how do you say „I love you ‟to her?”They agreed that getting good gradws,followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in classes over time.Gradually,I began to get different response.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her.This had never happened before,but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you”a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting,but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.52.The foreign teacher_______.A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman

附：音节小议

英语的音素分为元音和辅音两大类，由一个元音或一个元音加一个或几个辅音结合构成的语音单位叫做音节。例如：

由一个元音构成的音节：I /aI/“我”、oh / u/“哦”、a/eI，/“一个”、ear/I /“耳朵”等；

由一个元音加一个辅音构成的音节： bee/bi:/“蜜蜂”、ill /il/“生病”、my/mai/“我的”、see /si:/“看见”等；由一个元音加几个辅音构成的音节：bed /bed/“床”、bag/b g/“袋子”、clock /kl k/等。

英语的词有一个音节的，也有两个音节或三个音节以上的。顾名思义，一个音节叫做单音节，两个音节叫做双音节，三个或三个以上的音节叫做多音节。例如good /gud/只有一个音节，所以叫做单音节词；morning/`m :nI /分别有/m :n/和/I /两个音节，所以叫做双音节词；而afternoon /`a:ft `nu:n/有/a:f/、/t /、/nu:n/三个音节，所以，叫做多音节词。

在英语中，双音节或多音节的单词，每一个词都有一个读得特别响亮的音节，叫做重读音节，重读音节以重读符号“`”来表示。例如在evening /`i:vni /一词中，/i:/是重读音节。一般来说，只有一个音节的单词往往重读，但通常不标重读符号；双音节词和多音节词至少有一个音节重读，并在重读的音节左上方标出重读符号。

音节分为开音节和闭音节。以元音字母a 或 e, i, o, u结尾的音节叫做开音节，如nice, hi, hello, fine等都是以开音节结尾的单词；以辅音字母结尾的音节叫做闭音节，如meet, bed, what, wall, mom等都是以闭音节结尾的单词。

1.记单词的最好办法是什么？ 把一个单词造出多个句子，训练把这多个句子在场景下脱口说出。句子记住了，单词也当然得到了充分理解和长期记忆。

2.学习英语忌过分讲究速度和效率，不愿花时间经常重复（复习）已学过的内容。语言运用是一种技能，技能则只有靠熟能生巧，要不断重复才会熟练，只有熟练了才会形成一种不假思索的技能。

3.语言是有声的，我们对语言的感受首先是语言的声音作用于我们的大脑。如果不练习听力，只是默默地阅读和背单词，其结果不仅听不懂别人讲外语，而且阅读水平也难以提高。

4.语言的实践性很强，如果只学而不用，就永远也学不好。我们学语言的目的就是为了应用，要学会在用中学习，这样才能提高兴趣，达到好的学习效果。
