“Are you happy?” The simple question usually makes people confused (迷惑的). Even Mo Yan, who won a Nobel Prize, replied to it by saying, “I don’t know.”
When a migrant worker (农民工) was asked, “Are you happy? (Ni Xing Fu Ma?)” by a CCTV reporter, he looked confused before replying, “My family name is Zeng. (Wo Xing Zeng.)” This has become a joke. But his answer showed migrant workers and TV reporters live in different worlds and they cannot even communicate with each other.
Similarly, when asked, “Are you happy?” a 73-year-old man, collecting used plastic bottles in a street in Zhejiang, said, “The bottles can be sold for 0.1 yuan each.” Asked again, he said, “The government is good.” The reporter went on, “My question is ‘Are you happy?’” The old man answered, “My hearing is not good.”
The reporter probably tried to reach the same answer that the interviewees(被采访者) including the migrant worker and the old man are “happy”.
In fact, when the question is asked, we should learn about people’s true situation and their true wishes and opinions but their “Yes” or “No”.
Luckily, the government has paid more attention to the importance. Now there are many TV programs giving common people the chance to give their opinions.
“Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress (人大), Wen Jiabao said and agreed that increasing happiness would be a top aim for the 12th five-year plan.

     How can you buy a meal for lunch without any money in your pocket? Students in Class 9, Grade 8 at
Mountain and Lake Middle School in Chengdu,Sichuan,have their ways. They give out flyers (传单), draw
portraits (人物素描) and work as waiters.
     The class, working in eight groups, finished the activity. Experiencing Life for Seven Hours,on March 18,
"I found students waste their food in the dining-hall," the class teacher, Deng Guiyong said, "So I held this
activity to help them understand how hard it is to make money."
     Jiang Yao, 15, and his group members stood in the streets giving out flyers for about two hours and got
the money for their lunch. Then they worked as waiters in a pizza restaurant-cleaning the floor;and toilets
and getting food for guests,"We were busy all along, so we were terribly exhausted after the day's hard work.
"said Jiang."We each got a pizza as a prize, which tasted much better than one I ate with my parents before."
     When Xie Ni's group didn't make any money in three hours, the members became nervous about their
lunch. The 14-year-old girl came up with the idea of drawing portraits to sell, "I sold four portraits and one
