20．First celebrated in 2013，the International Day of Happiness at the beginning of spring was established by the United Nations （UN） to remind us that"the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal．"
Setting aside a day to appreciate things that we take for granted-good health，family，and friends-was first suggested by the tiny South Asian country of Bhutan．It also came up with the idea of establishing the Gross National Happiness （GNH） Index （指数） in the 1970's．Bhutan，which has an annual per capita income of about $ 2，300，or 21 percent of the world's average，believes that material wealth，measured by the Gross Domestic Product （CDP） Index，is not a meaningful measurement of human happiness．
What can you do to celebrate the festival besides cracking a big smile？
•Give or receive a （free） hug
Seek out a sibling，parent，or friend，and make their day by giving them a warm hug．
•Take the"Happy Acts"challenge
It is the brainchild of the"Live Happy"magazine．It encourages people to perform a random good deed and post it on the magazine's social media sites or tweet about it at Happy Acts．The actions can be as simple as sharing a fun photo or calling a grandparent．
•Treat yourself
Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little indulgence （放纵）．So grab a cup of cocoa or your favorite tub of ice cream and snuggle up （依偎） with a blanket and good book!
•Start a conversation
With the popularity of the Internet，we tend to spend more time looking at our screens than the person in front of us．Tuck your computers or smart phones away for one evening and spend time with your parents．You might be surprised at the joy it will bring them and you．
Finally，don't forget to love yourself for who you are and be happy every single day!International Day of Happiness is a reminder that joy is all around us-you just have to reach out and grab it!

16．In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh （法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．（71）G　
That spirit spread over today′s conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing．As we walked out the door，a smiling neighbor said，"Oh，boy，bad day for a picnic．（72）B"I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut better and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report，but for his smile．（73）DAs I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile．"Oh，that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head-cutting!

15．"Anytime you are in the outdoors，especially around snow，water or rocks，there′s going to be lots of glare and reflection，"Brad Ludden says．"Since I spend 90 percent of my life outdoors，I am at risk of eye problems．That′s why I wear sunglasses whenever I can．"
Whether you wear shades to protect your eyes or simply to look like a rock star，here′s the good news：Sunglasses can be functional and cool-without you spending too much money．You just have to be a smart sunglasses shopper．Here′s how．
Where to Shop：
"Never shop for shades on a street corner，"Ludden says．Sunglass-specific shops or outdoor stores usually have knowledgeable staff，and you don′t have to worry about buying shoddy sunglasses．
Plan to spend at least﹩30 to get a quality pair of sunglasses．Cheaper shades are likely to be of questionable quality．But don't overdo it，either；over﹩100，you are probably just paying for a trendy brand name．
Sport-Specific：
Before you go shopping，consider what you will be using your shades for．Look at your hobbies．Are you around the water a lot？Do you love to ski or hike in the snow？Is cycling your thing？"Figure out what you want before you go in the store，"Ludden says．"Then have them show you a few that match your criteria and fit your face the best．"
The Lens Matters：
For most outdoor sports，shatterproof polycarbonate lenses （防碎的聚碳酸酯纤维镜片） are best．Glass lenses are recommended only for activities like fishing．
Also，make sure the lens provides 100 percent protection from the sun′s harmful rays．"If you buy glasses with cheap lenses they can give you headaches，"Ludden warns．
Frame and Fit：
Some frames are metal，but most quality sports sunglasses have durable（耐用的） and lightweight plastic frames．
Take a look at the frame and make sure the joints are strong．The arms and earpieces should stay put on your face-but not so tight that it hurts or gives you a headache．"You want sunglasses to be so comfortable that you forget about them，"Ludden says．

14．Like many languages spoken by people，Ayapaneco is dying．Only two people in the world still speak it，and they won′t talk to each other．
Spoken in Mexico for centuries，Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation．The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez．Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village，the two men seldom talk to each other．Daniel，an American expert，who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco，says the two men"don′t have a lot in common"，and that Segovia can be"active"while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home．
While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco，neither of them can manage more than a few words．Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more．Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away．According to Daniel，Ayapaneco and other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century．For decades，local children weren′t allowed to speak anything else．Many people to cities，starting in the 1970s，also helped the dying out of native languages．
Ayapaneco is the name given to the language； Segovia and Velazquez call it"Nuumte Oote"，which means"true voice"．Neither man，however，speaks the language identically．The dictionary will contain two versions of the language when it comes out later this year．Those behind the dictionary aren′t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco．The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children，which they don′t agree to．
It is thought that there are about 6，000 languages spoken on Earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years．Let′s hope the"true voice"isn′t one of them．

13．Mickey Mouse wants to help kids kick the junk habit．The Walt Disney Company announced that it plans to advertise only healthier foods to kids．
By 2015，all food and drink products that are advertised on its TV channels，radio stations and websites will have to meet the company′s nutrition standard for limiting calories and reducing fat，sodium and sugar．Many foods，such as fruit drinks，candy and snack cakes，won′t meet the standard．
The first lady，Michelle Obama，called it a"game changer"．"Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the US-and what I hope every company will do in the future．"
"This is a landmark，because a major media company is taking responsibility for what food they advertise to children，"says Margo Wootan，director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest．"This should be a real wake-up call to Nickelodeon（an American channel） and the Cartoon Network to do the same．"
But the company will still be able to advertise"better-for-you versions of products that are not perfectly nutritious"．Under the new standards，breakfast cereals that are advertised will have to contain fewer than 10grams of sugar in a serving，Wootan says．"That′s a good step forward，but it′s not ideally nutritious．"
Jon Leibowitz，chairman of the Federal Trade Commission，says Disney is making this move"at perhaps some risk of affecting their incomes，so that′s why we should praise them"．
Food marketing is really"important because it shapes the way kids are fed，"Wootan says．"If we don′t deal with food marketing to kids，we don′t have any chance of addressing childhood obesity （肥胖）．"
Currently，a third of children are overweight，putting them at a greater risk for serious health problems．
At its theme parks，Disney began offering healthier kids′meals，serving carrots and other vegetables and fruits and low-fat milk and yogurt at meals instead of fries and soft drinks．

60．What does Margo Wootan think of Disney′s new move？B
A．He thinks it is a risk．
B．He thinks very highly of it．
C．He thinks it will cause great discussion．
D．He thinks it will affect their incomes．

A．fruit drinks are not allowed to be advertised
B．foods that are advertised should be fat-free
C．only perfectly nutritious products can be advertised
D．foods advertised should contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar
62．What can we learn from Margo Wootan's words in Paragraph 7？B
A．The cause of children obesity．
B．The importance of food marketing．
C．Childhood obesity is not a big problem．
D．Many kids are worried about their shapes．
63．What is the main idea of the text？D
A．Disney calls for a ban on junk food．
B．Disney aims to help kids lose weight．
C．Disney is to serve healthier food for kids．
D．Disney is to quit taking ads for junk food aimed at kids．
