Problems Solutions(解决办法)
My best friend Jack goes on vacation a lot and always brings me something expensive. I don’t have enough money to get him anything every time. What should I do?
Bob
Souvenirs don’t have to cost a lot. Show him you are thinking of him. That’s important. Imagine how excited he would be if he got a postcard from you!
Miller
I have a crush on a movie star. I really wish I did not. I have had dreams about him, and I even find myself wishing to be his wife. Are there any ways to stop this?
Alice
A star is cute, but what else? What do you think is important for person? Being good-looking or kind-hearted? Remember that the star in the movie probably isn’t what he is like in real life. So don’t let yourself spend too much time on the star. Staying with friends or taking more activities will help you get him out of your mind.
Miller
I’m always arguing with my parents. I hate it, but I can’t help it. What can I do?
Harry
Sometimes it seems that our parents just don’t know us well, doesn’t it? When I’m arguing with my parents, I usually take a walk and calm myself down. It gives me time to clear my head. That means I can talk to them and solve(v.解决) the problem. Have a try—parents are easier to talk with when you are cool and calm.

Everyone wants 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 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 present moment. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book,
listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
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.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other
