5．　　Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on 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 of living a happy life is to be active. Having hobbies makes you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, swimming or playing a sport. 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 that 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.

17．　　Lu Xun's real name is Zhou Shuren. He was born on September 25, 1881. This year is the 140th anniversary of his birth. People still remember and talk about this great writer.
　　Pick up the pen
　　(1)       He went to study in a Japanese college. However, in the early 20th century, Lu Xun found that there were many problems in Chinese society. The minds of Chinese were numb(麻木的). Most Chinese were just followers without thinking. So he gave up medical study and started writing.

(4)       "Reading one story by him is more useful than reading many by others. His care for society and his sharp words are so different," a reader under the name of Mian told The Paper.

18．　　Returning home is usually very happy and exciting. Is is the same for astronauts returning from space?On June 12, the Shenzhou Ⅻ manned spacecraft went into space. It took three Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo to China's first Tiangong space station. Three months later, on September 19, they came back to earth in a return capsule(舱). The trip home wasn't easy. Let's see how it went.
　　"Real gold fears no fire"
　　It was a hot journey!When the spacecraft entered earth's atmosphere(大气层), its surface temperature rose to more than 2, 000 degrees!This is because the spacecraft rubbed(摩擦)against the air. How could the astronauts stay safe? (A) People use a special material stop the heat from getting inside. "Real gold fears no fire." Nie said.
　　Losing contact
　　Radio blackouts(中断)happen when there is too much heat. (B) 这意味着宇航员无法与地面通话。 It didn't last long — just several minutes. During this time, with the help of radar, scientists on the earth still knew where the spacecraft was.
　　Landing
　　When the spacecraft was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it prepared to land. It moved at 200 meters per second. That's twice the speed of high-speed trains! It was too fast to directly land.
　　Parachutes (降落伞) were used to slow down the landing. Even so, if a chute is too big, it might turn over, like an umbrella on a windy day. Therefore, the spacecraft first opened a small chute. Then the main chute worked. As big as 1, 200 square meters, it could stretch about 70 meters long — the width(宽度)of a soccer field. It slowed the speed down to 7 to 8 meters per second. These special parachutes were made in China.
