Ways to Find the Happiness in Front of You
We struggle with war, poverty, global warming. Famous people have wonderful lives, but you don't, and the "if only's" threaten to win the day: "My life would be sweet if only I were richer, had a better job..."
And it doesn't care how much money you have or what the circumstances of your life are. Look through the suggestions on how to look on the bright side and find the happiness in front of you.

If I'm feeling low, one of the best ways I know to cheer up is to make a love list. It's simple, just a list of every single person I love. Then I can put it in a pocket to take with me on a tough day, or just keep it in mind as I get on with my life.
Find Lost Friends
I recently took some time to seek out people that I've lost touch with over the years.. Within 24 hours I had baby pictures and recent histories. But the interesting thing was that all the people I got in touch with had been thinking about contacting me a couple of days before getting my email.
Think Positively
I'm not saying your problems are over, but simply looking at the world through rose-colored glasses means that half your problems will look like exciting challenges, and the other half you'll probably realize aren't problems at all, just facts of life.
A. Create a love list
B. But happiness is all around you.
C. Wish upon a star
D. I wonder whether they still remember me.
E. We hear of people getting sick or dying.
F. If you can get optimistic and stay that way, you're sure to succeed.
G. It took only a little time to shoot a few quick emails around the country.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Australia's koalas could die out within 30 years unless immediate action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply.
The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100,000, but now is as few as 43,000.
The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.
The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food, eucalyptus (桉树) leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia's east and south, are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat.
Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It's really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don't have any koalas.”She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government's Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala's status as one of the country's favorite animals would not be a factor. “There's a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don't consider that,” Mr Beeton said.
(1)The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
A.the forests are being damaged heavily
B.the environment is being polluted seriously
C.koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas
D.the number of koalas is dropping quickly
(2)Global warming is an important cause of koalas' reduction because _____.
A.koalas can hardly stand the hot weather
B.the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
C.koalas cannot get enough water to drink
D.the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hotter and drier weather
(3)According to Bob Beeton, _____.
A.the koala is one of his favorite animals
B.a decision will be made to protect koalas in the future
C.they needn't pay special attention to koalas
D.koalas needn't be protected at all

Ecotourism which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages(遗产)are the main attractions, 2Therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural sots also form a part of ecotourism.

Ecotourism is developing at a great speed, according to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization. Ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% world wide. 3They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.

4However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resources.
