What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people?1. Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.
Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them2.
Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 3. But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.
They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.
4. They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.
5. They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.
A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.
B. What are the things that these people do differently?
C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.
D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.
E. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them.
F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”.
G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.
Dear Social Security,
I am applying for a new Social Security Card.
I lost my old one last week, I was walking home from the subway station, and I pulled a tissue(纸巾)out of my pocket and lost my wallet at the same time. My card was in my wallet.
Please send me a new card. If you can get the card to me within two weeks, please sent it to my old address . If it will take longer than this, then you will have to send it to my new address. I am moving on May 23rd to 103 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 28445.
If you can send my new card within two weeks, I would be very pleased. I am applying for a new job at Ventura Savings Bank, and I know they will want to have my Social Security Number. Unfortunately I have forgotten it, so I will need my card to find out. On my old card I was called Victoria Matthews. Since then I have gotten married. Please send my new card to me using my married name: Victoria Villata. In case you need more information about me to get my old number, my date of birth was September 11, 1985. Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Victoria Villata

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend a lot of the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels(长住型饭店). However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together — perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

A. how much one is willing to pay for a night

C. whether the hotel is in the central part of a city
D. how good the services of the hotel are
2.If the president of a certain country comes, he will _______.
