11.The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled,pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact,the opposite is true:more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage,raising children,professional achievement,religious commitment,self improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun,adventure,excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time:now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness.It liberates money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

20.Reached My Destination
"Ego (自尊) has an enormous appetite,the more you feed it,the hungrier it gets."
-Nathaniel Bronner Jr.
It has been two years,we have not met.Last time was when we were departing at Rome Airport as a procedure of joining different competitive firms.We exchanged our personal email IDs and I never realized my email ID was one with an error.
We had been in six years of professional relationship that ended with a small misunderstanding.We never realized that we might not get a chance to clear it.We both had tough ego levels to shed off.
In these two years work has always kept me busy.There have been instances where I wanted to write to him for his expertise advice but my ego always stopped me.And then one day flying to London for a conference was taking away my peace of mind.I knew he would be there as a part of the event from his firm.
I thought to ignore him and behave professionally as an employee.Finally,I entered the conference hall.I was quick enough to realize that he would take over participants'attention with his confidence,and all I would do sitting there would be appreciating him,nodding my head as"Yes to Yes"and"No to No".
Finally,he approached the stage.
The very first line that fell into my ears was my name as he continued,"I am proud to be here with 8years of experience and I would like to share my best practices with all of you.This is a journey I completed with one of my best colleagues and my best friend‘my name'who supported me through day and night with the toughest projects and killing deadlines".
For a moment I fell numbed (目瞪口呆) and completely lost.All I could remember were my thoughts for him before entering the room and his greatness to acknowledge my presence.Finally,the conference ended and we all left for refreshment.I was struggling hard to face him.
I saw him coming towards me with a gift.
I asked him,"Why this gift?"
He was very humble to answer,‘This is a small symbol of friendship to tell how much I missed my friend when I wanted her the most.A small token to represent that even when you were not with me,your teachings helped me to work on difficult projects."
I asked curiously,"But you never wrote to me,if I was so important and helpful."
He replied,"You left me with an email ID that is not reachable,maybe you missed a letter.I had no number to call you either but when I read your name in the list,I did all these arrangements.We never know when we meet again in life,so this gift is for you my friend."
Finally,we again departed to our respective destinations but this time with a smile.

4.Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know,drinkingwater benefits your skin,muscles and organs.(36)E
The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby,
you,re 75percent water.Then,as the years get higher,you get drier.(37)A It helps you lose weight,according to a study from the University of Birmingham.
The researchers found that drinking 500ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10more pounds than those who did not.(38)B All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84overweight adults were involved.
Among them 41were told to"preload"with water,while 43were told to control their water intake before eating.After 12weeks,the participants instructed to"preload"with water lost 2.87pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition,the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48pounds over the 12weeks.(39)F
Dr.Helen Parretti,a lecturer at the University of Birmingham,had this to say of the study:(40)C Just drinking 500ml of water,three times a day,before your main meals may help reduce your weight…and this could be an easy way for weight loss.Furthermore,it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight,making a potential contribution to public health.

A.Another reason to drink water is right here.
B.The study began with a weight management consultation.
C.The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.
D.But not everyone can get access to tap water in some areas.
E.It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.
F.In contrast,those preloading once a day or never,lost just 1.76pounds.
G.So kids should drink more water instead of coke to keep healthy.
