Question

【题目】 Where is the world's happiest place? The answer is Denmark, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.

Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country. So, what makes its 5.7 million people so happy?

The country is famous for its welfare system (福利体系) , that includes heath care and education. But besides that, the main reason Danish people are so happy is because of their lifestyle.

Have you heard of the word “hygge”? In English, it can be translated into comfort. But hygge is more than that--having a tasty meal with family, talking with friends under the sunshine on weekends, enjoying music, or having a movie night. All these things can be called hygge, which is Danish people's everyday life.

Danish people also have a healthy habit-riding bikes. In Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used about 50 percent of the time on the way to school or work. Biking is not only helpful to protect the environment . It is also good for people's heath. Just 30 minutes of biking every day adds about one to two years to a person's lifetime.

Trust is also important for Danish people. They trust others and people they don't even know. In Aarhus, the second biggest city of Denmark, you can see people buy flowers even when the owner isn't there. People just put money in the empty flowerpot. Trust helps make people happy.

“The Danish have no great expectations about what they will do or what will happen to them," Kaire Christensen, a university teacher said, "They are happy with what they have."
