Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4，000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing， Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram(图表） of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer， he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on（巴结）him. They knew it was good for their business. Now the officer got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to a doctor. “Stop eating much fat and sugar， Mr. Jenkins，” said the doctor. “Or it will be worse for your health!” It was difficult for the officer to do it.

“You must lose weight， sir，” said the doctor， “if you don’t want to die soon!” “Could you tell me a way to lose weight， please?” “You must do some exercise first.” “Which exercise?” “To move your head from side to side when you are invited to dinner!”

People use their mouths for many things. They eat， talk， shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language， there are many expressions using the word mouth. But some of them are not so nice. For example， if you say bad things about a person， the person might protest(抗议； 反对) and say "Do not bad mouth me."

Sometimes， people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret (后悔)because hurts that person's feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say： "I really put my foot in my mouth this time." If this should happen， the speaker might feel "down in the mouth." In other words， he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

Sometimes when one person is speaking， he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens， the friend might say： "You took the words right out of my mouth!"

Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this， too. You might say such a person "was born with a silver（银子，银色的） spoon in his mouth."This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives "from hand to mouth." This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life， like food.

Most people want to be happy， but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle， a Greek thinker， said，＂Happiness depends on ourselves.＂In other words， we make our own happiness. Here are some opinions to help you be Thappier.

he first opinion 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 can not enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple happiness， such as reading a good book， listening to your favorite music， or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another opinion to living a happy life is to be active and have hobbies. When you are dancing or playing sports， you can forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing or playing a sport， such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.

Finally， many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier， do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies， go shopping to buy food for an elderly person， or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
