Passage 26

(山东省聊城市2008年高三年级模拟(三))

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional  36  such as mathematics and languages.

The class sits in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the  37  voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

The aim of the game is to  38  for an opportunity to shout out the  39  without clashing(相撞)with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try,  40  of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. But by the fifth  41  , they develop a rhythm. The  42  . give other people space but also  43  claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

Unlike schools in other nations,  German schools do not usually have school sports teams or seek to build school spirit. Many teens admit they are  44  and confused, but school is not usually the place to find relief.

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness  45  . It is  46  for 17-19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams.

“The course isn’t there to make you happy as  47  ,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “  48  rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together will be one of the class  49  , along with improving body language under the  50  of two professional actresses.

The course is taught for three periods a week.  51  the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period, we had to each say something  52  about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people or teasing,” said Fanny, 17.

The message: self-esteem(自尊)improves  53  too.

Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also  54  at some US universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using  55  from studies of depression.

“That would be too one-sided for us. We want to show how decent(好的)food or exercise can help too,” the principal said.
