Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they arewealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.

Here are a few ways to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.

Have you ever tried to hide your emotions (情感)from someone during a conversation? 1

Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people’s emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.

Scientists studied pictures of people’s facial expressions. 2 For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶)creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red- green color around the nose and forehead.

“We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(触发) by the central nervous(神经) system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.

3 Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other’s emotions?

To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. 4They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.5 For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.

A. But this raises a question.

B. It is shown that human emotions are influenced by colors on the face.

C. They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color.

D. It's not always easy, because the color on your face may tell the truth.

E. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing.

F. This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one’s face.
