20．We all know that money can't make us happy，but many times we act as if we'd be happier with a bit more money．We are conditioned to want to be richer； we are trained to want the latest style that television tells us； we want to earn more money because then we'll have a good life．
But none of that will make us happier．And the sad thing is that it can take us decades of pursuing （追求） wealth and expensive things before we realize that．So what will bring us happiness？Luckily，there are three things that don't cost anything．Here they are：
Good relationships．We have a human need to be close with other human beings．Having good，supportive friendships，a strong marriage or loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy．Therefore，take time，today，to stay with your loved ones，to tell them what they mean to you，to listen to them，and to develop your relationships with them．
Positive thinking．Optimism（乐观） is one of the best indicators of people who lead a happy life．Happy people feel empowered，in control of their lives．So why not make positive thinking a habit？In fact，this should be one of the first habits you develop．
Flow．This is a popular concept on the Internet these days 一 the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task．Having work and leisure（休闲）that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness．People find the greatest enjoyment not when they're passively mindless，but when they're absorbed in a mindful challenge．
If you are interested in some kind of work and keen on some kind of hobbies，it is not a bad idea．Turn off the TV 一 this is the opposite of flow 一 and then go outside and do something that truly makes you active．

4．The idea that animals can sense earthquakes is a popular one，and stories about animals'strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries．Catfish moving violently，chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported．Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook-barking or whining（哀叫） for no reason，or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness．
Can humans use animals as earthquake detectors（探测器）？Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question．Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate（振动） before humans．Other ideas suggest that animals may sense electrical changes in the air or gas released from the Earth which could be indicators（预示） of an earthquake．
However，other researchers think the animals'ability is very doubtful．Some scientists feel that there is no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense earthquakes．They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake occurrence．They suggest that human psychology may have an effect on pet owners，as they may want to attribute（归于） powers of sensing earthquakes to their animals．Others have also pointed out that animals react to so many things-being hungry，defending their land，mating，enemies…And if an earthquake can shake millions of people，it is likely that a few of their pets will，by chance，be acting strangely before an earthquake．
Whether or not animals can sense earthquakes before humans do remains to be seen．
