【题目】BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.

Good news

Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.

【题目】Are you truly happy? 【1】 These are important questions for anyone who is looking for happiness to ask themselves. The following are a few tips to create happiness in my life.

Make a plan for achieving goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods (情绪) will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.

Try to stay with happy people. 2 However, if you are around people who are happy, their emotional state will be infectious (感染的).

When something goes wrong, try to find out a way instead of being buried in self-pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the environment back.

3 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.

4 You can treat yourself to lunch, take a relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance. Then you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.

Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.

Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. 5
