How can you get happiness? You may say that happiness requires nice comforts like a   71   , a car, big bank balance, a high paying job.

Here in India where I live, I have    72    through villages where people seemed to earn just enough to make ends meet. I have seen happiness there. I have seen     73     faces and smiling eyes that readily gave me directions. They were very     74   and made my journey easier.

I have also worked for 3 years on Wall Street, in a big Investment Bank. I have seen some people with a lot of     75   but still unhappy. I am not saying that all rich are unhappy (or the poor, happy). But the fact that there    76   some rich people who look angry or listless (无精打采的) and there are some poor people who     77    happy, points out that there must be something else to     78   , than just money, luxury (奢侈品) and comfort.

Happiness, it seems, is not a factor of how much you have. You can feel happy  79     to a good song, you can feel happy watching a beautiful sunrise, you can feel happy in any number of ways that don’t require any possessions at     80  . .

How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brains is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.
There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.
Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:
Eat healthy food.
Get a lot of playtime or exercise.
Don’t drink or smoke.
Use your brain a lot.
【小题1】 A British scientist found out that ________ could improve our memories.
