Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years．
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day．
1．________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky．“But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem．Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer．”
Get rid of pessimism．One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy．“What can I learn from this?Times are tough, I've been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills．”
2．________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive．Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier．Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone's life a little bit easier．For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can't afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride．”
3．________
You don't need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness．
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh down hard on your family life．But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones．
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can't afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky．“But what they don't realize is that kids don't care about toys－what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them．”
4．________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky．“Happy people all have goals they care about．”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn．But it's also important to remember to be flexible in these times．
Don't get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals．Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky．“Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job．”
5．________
When times are tough, it's easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips．Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good．”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC．It will go a long way in boosting your happiness．“Even if you can't afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home．”

If you have ever been in a school play or even made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings．Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone-or something-else． 1
In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions．As far back as 2200B．C．trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals． 2 To the dance was gradually added pantomime-the imitation of movements and gestures-as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue．
While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece．From about 500B．C．on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece．Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom． 3
Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama．The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide． 4 A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television．In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge．They are unseen by their audience．So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners．
5 Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year．Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination．They must not be easily discouraged．Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself．
A．The origins of acting are in the act of remembering．
B．Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus．
C．It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting．
D．Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself．
E．Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches．
F．Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent．
G．Consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities．
When an invention is made, the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him: he can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secret, or patent (申请专利) it．
A granted patent is the result of a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断) and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates．Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the lifespan of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events．
The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the patent's normal life there was no color TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention．
Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even repatent．Indeed, patent experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor's right is to plagiarize a dead patent．
Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print．Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security．
Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most “new” ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills．It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity or dedication, or through the availability of new technology, that makes news and money．The basic patent for the theory of magnetic recording dates back to 1886．Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century．Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent for a cart with the horse at the rear．
