Where do you think the world's happiest people live? Somewhere hot with sandy beaches?A country with a tradition of the fine food and culture? Not according to a recent study by the University of Leicester.Who are the happiest people on Earth?1.Surprised? Well you'll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes pay some of the highest taxes in the world.So what is the secret of their success?

Let's start with all that tax they pay.The Danish government provides its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the world.It spends more on children and elderly people per capita（人均）than any other country.

2.Thanks to the tax policy,a shop assistant's final salary is not that much less than someone who works in a bank.As a result,Danes don't choose their careers based on money or status as people in other countries do.They choose the job they want to do.There's a philosophy in Denmark known as "Jante-lov",which translates as "you're no better than anybody else."3.But workers in other countries are not used to looking at life in this way.

Money doesn't seem as important in Denmark.It has been called a “post consumerist” society.4.What is more important is the sense of society and it's no surprise that Danes are very used to socializing.92% of Danes belong to some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid for by the government.

5.They also show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government.You can see signs of this all over the country.You'll find vegetable stalls with no assistant.You take what you want and leave the money in a basket.Perhaps the bike is a good symbol for Denmark.The Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes-simple, economical,non-polluting machines that show no status and help keep people fit.

A.In a list ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens,it put tropical Fiji 50 places below freezing Iceland.

B.The street sweeper can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job.

C.Danish people aren't as suspicious as many other nations.

D.High taxes in Denmark widen the gap between different jobs.

E.Those 5.5 million people who call Denmark their home.

F.People have nice things in their houses,but they don't attach too much importance to shopping and spending.

G And there's another advantage to those high taxes.

Every year, TIME selects the best inventions that are making the world better, smarter and — in some cases—a little more fun. Here’s which ones made this year’s unranked list.

●Morpher

People refuse to wear a helmet because they’re thick and bulky. Morpher, a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics that is just as strong as its traditional helmets, but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat, making it easier to transport. Morpher has raised almost $300,000 on Indiegogo and may be available for sale in stores in future.

● Hyper Adapt

Almost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of self-lacing shoes. Now, thanks to Nike, the shoe dream is a reality. When wearers press a button near the tongue, the Hyper Adapt 1.0s automatically tighten and loosen around their foot. Simplified shoe fastening could give users an edge during sports competition, and it’s especially useful for people with impaired（受损的） motor function.

●Hello Sense

It's hard to believe that an alarm clock could not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep. That it could monitor the temperature, humidity(湿度), light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you engineer a perfect sleep environment. That it could monitor your sleep cycles and wake you when you’re least likely to feel groggy—all thanks to simple voice commands.

●Eatwell Assistive Tableware

It is hard for Alzheimer’s patients to use silverware without spilling. Eatwell Assistive Tableware is a dining set designed to make mealtime easier for people with Alzheimer’s and other diseases that affect brain and body function.

As a student in America,I often came across difficult times that made it harder for me to move on.Fortunately,I met a special angel—Dai Mom Mom.

In my twenties,I went to study at TWU in America.Because of limited financial support from my parents,I worked part-time on campus to pay my bills.In addition,I did house cleaning for a family.Because of an imbalanced diet,I would easily feel weak.When Dai Mom Mom realized that,she invited me to her home for dinner every weekend.Besides,whenever it was time to return home,she would prepare me with some homemade dessert or food. Her kind actions were like the seeds of love planted in my heart.

One evening,when I walked out of the library,I started to feel dizzy（头晕）,and my hands were shaking. Searching my pockets,I only found a few dollars left.Without a second thought,I headed for Dai Mom Mom's home. On arrival,she immediately noticed my fatigue.She seated me at the table and before long,a plate of food was set before me."Don't make yourself work so hard,"she said with a nice smile.I suddenly felt so warm that tears rolled down.

The meal was just like a Christmas gift from Heaven.I have always remembered it as the most delicious dinner I have ever had.Not only did the food satisfy my physical hunger,but it also deeply filled my spirit with genuine love. Dai Mom Mom was an angel.Because of her,I have now become a person who can pass her love along to others in need.

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on days in a row for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.

At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “ If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “ If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”

You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.

The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.

A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him , and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.

1.We learn from the passage that the two deceased elderly women_____________

A. lived out a natural life.

B. died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.

C. weren’t used to the change in weather.
