18．[1]Hello．It's one of the first words we learn as babies，yet it's one of the last ones we think to use as adults．That's unfortunate，because saying hello is more than just saying hello-it is recognition of another's worth．How might the world change-how might we change-if we mastered this word？To find out，I spent one month saying hello to every person I met．Here's what I've learned．
[2]It can boost （促进） productivity．In one of the few studies ever done on this subject，Allan Allday，an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University，had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning．This exchange of greetings raised the kids'productivity．School went from impersonal to personal，and that resulted in more class participation and better grades．
[3]Environments influence friendliness，One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside．And researchers say，pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones．My experience was similarly．Whatever the reason，my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one．Similarly，people in vacation spots，like the Jersey Shore，were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown．
[4]It's a form of universal health insurance．It's impossible to say hello without smiling．And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure，relieve stress and boost happiness．Apparently，a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient （接受者）．

15．阅读表达
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题．
       Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart（购物手推车）．They will，in a lifetime，push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles．But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them．
      Sylvan N．Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937．At that time he was in the supermarket business．Every day he would see shoppers lugging（吃力地携带） groceries around in baskets they had to carry．
      One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels．The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers，and would help to attract more business．
      On June 4，1937，Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market．He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving．He couldn't wait to see them using his invention．
But Goldman was disappointed．Most shoppers gave the carts a long look，but hardly anybody would give them a try．
      After a while，Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts．"Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？"one shopper replied．
      But Goldman wasn't beaten yet．He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try．To this end，Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping!Seeing this，the real customers gradually began copying the phony（假冒的） customers．
      As Goldman had hoped，the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market．But not only did more people come-those who came bought more．With larger，easier-to-handle baskets，customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before．
      Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model．Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart．

10．A busy life can be personally satisfying，but it may make you feel too tired to achieve the inner peace that will connect you with your true happiness．Begin with simplifying your life and working towards a more peaceful state of mind．
Recognize the differences between the things you need and the things you want．Our culture provides us with the message that materials will make our lives better．The reality is that most of these things will complicate our lives without bringing true happiness．Free yourself--learn to be satisfied with fewer materials and greater simplicity．
If you let someone else define your life，you're missing the chance to follow your own desires．Your inner life is weakened when you are limited by conformity．Why do you give up your freedom and allowed all of your decisions to be defined by what others think you"should"do？Think for yourself．Let your passions be your guide．
Life is full of opportunities to earn money，give services．Learn new skills and make new friends．Some of us want them all and fill up our timetable with all kind of activities．Rushing from one activity to another leaves you with no time to slow down．No matter how worthy you think your activities are，rethink them．Keep the ones that are most important and leave out the ones that are adding to the pace of your life with little return．
Life is forever changing，and you will never reach a point of simplicity and endless happiness．But each moment you spend on the path to simplicity does have the possibility to bring happiness to your life．
