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 upon ourselves. " In other words,we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions 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 fail to 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 several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active,and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this in 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.

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries,please follow their customs,just as the saying goes, "         .”

Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip (付小費(fèi)) .It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags,taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.

In Spain,it's a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late,and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm.

In Arab countries,men kiss one another on the cheek (臉頰) .Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.

In Japan,people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card,don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.

Don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.
