24、Dear Li Hua，
Today I'd like to talk about
something interesting．In
UK，you can tell a lot about your friends by what they
carry in their schoolbags--you may know what they like reading，and other things they like to do after school．
In the bags of middle school-age
boys，you find hand held
computer games，football magazines and playing cards．Girls usually have a book in their bag（maybe
a romantic novel）and hair clips（发夹）．Girls and boys both often have an MP3，a
mobile phone，and，of course，last night's homework! By looking in a friend's bag，you earl tell what kind of person they are．A
clean and tidy bag shows an organized person．Someone
with a bag full of textbooks and pens works hard．
British middle school-age children
also have a locker（存储箱）at
school．They store their books or sports things，such as a football or a tennis racket（网球拍）there．They use pictures to make the inside of their lockers beautiful．Maybe they have pictures of their favorite music or sports star，or photos of their friends．So just like
their bag，their locker says a lot about the person．
How about things in China? Looking
forward to your letter．

23、Bad teeth，a heavier body．．．and now，weaker bones（骨头）．Recently American scientists have found another bad thing about
cola--it's bad for our bones，especially women's bones．
Well，if cola is bad for us，how
about energy drinks（功能饮料）? Energy drinks look cool．Their makers say they give you energy and make you better at sports．So，many students drink them before exams to

drink them whenever I feel weak or before a test．I
cannot help drinking them．I find I'm addicted to

22、It was the first day of school．I had a new classmate，a little old lady with
a warm smile．She said，“Hi，handsome! I'm Rose．I'm 87 years old．Can I give you a hug（拥抱）?” I said heartily，“of course!”，“Why are you in college at such an age?” I
asked．She joked，“I'm here to
meet a rich husband，get married，have children，and then travel around．”
“No，seriously，” I asked．“I always dreamed of having a
college education．Now I'm getting one!” she told me．Over the year，Rose became an icon（偶像）．She easily made
friends where she went．She loved to dress up and she
enjoyed the attention from other students．At the end of
the term we invited Rose to speak at our party．I’ll &never forget what she taught us．
“We do not stop playing
because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing．Here are the secrets of staying young．You
have to laugh and find humor（幽默）every day．You've got to have a dream．When you lose
your dreams，you die!” she said．“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up．Anybody can grow old．That doesn't take any talent（天赋）or ability，”she added．“But to grow up，you have to find the chance in change．Have
no regrets（后悔）．We usually don’t
have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we
did not do．”
One week after graduation，Rose died peacefully in her sleep．She taught us by example that it's never too late to be what you can
possibly be．

爱思英语编者按：金钱可以买得到幸福吗？研究表明有钱的人活得更满足。然而他们并不比穷人幸福，快乐很多。金钱其实是可以买到幸福的，但是要看怎么去用这个钱。
6 Ways Money Can Buy Happiness
Have you ever wondered if money can buy happiness?
Studies show that people with a lot of money are more satisfied. However, when reporting happiness levels they aren&t ly happier than people with less. So you can buy happiness, but only if you&re spending your money right.
Recently, I&ve been reading a lot of literature on money, happiness, and affective forecasting and it turns out there are a number of ways you can spend money to maximize your happiness.
Let&s review a few of the key principles:
1. Buy s rather than things.
Researchers argue that you&re more likely to get the most amount of happiness from every dollar you spend if you buy s rather than things. It&s not that material things are inherently bad, but the best thing about s is that you can reflect on them and revisit those s again and again. Whereas materials things are something we adapt too.
For example, if you spend days or weeks picking out the perfect bamboo flooring you&ll only get a temporary happiness boost. Eventually that boost wears off because as humans we adapt to new things in our lives.
Whereas, s give us the opportunity to get into &flow.& And people are happiest when they are in the &flow.& For example, if you&ve ever found yourself doing activity x and it seems like time magically disappears that means you are experiencing &flow.&
2. Help others.
Humans are one of the most
animals on the planet and having strong relationships is the number one or of happiness.
For instance, many people can increase their happiness by engaging &pro-& meaning we get more happiness by giving money to charity. However, many people don&t realize that donating money to a worthy cause will bring them more happiness. They are more apt to think that spending money on themselves will increase their happiness level. In essence people are making an &affecti& meaning they wrongly
what will make their future selves happy.
3. Rather than buying a few big pleasures, purchase many little pleasures.
It turns out that buying small pleasures will make you happier than a larger purchase. For example, going out to coffee with friends or having a beer with co-workers will happen more ly than buying a two week trip to Hawaii. These are pleasures we can enjoy and savor everyday, rather than only once a year. Researchers also point out we&re less likely to adapt to these small pleasures.
It comes down to a basic economic idea, diminishing marginal utility.& Meaning there are diminishing returns in consumption. So the first unit of consumption of a good or service will
in more utility (or in this case happiness) than the second unit and so on. In If Money Doesn&t Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren&t Spending it Right, the authors refer to this concept as &the hedonic impact of pleasure.& For example, the first bite of a very large cookie will be much more pleasurable than the last bite.
As researchers point out, this is about enjoying the &small mundane joys of life.& And interestingly this capacity is reduced among very that constant access to any
may undermine your happiness level. For example, one study showed that wealthy people are more likely to eat a piece of chocolate quickly and exhibit less pleasure while doing so.
4. Pay now, consume later.
The familiar mantra &consume now, pay later& is a bad idea and will bring you more stress and debt.
Pay for your stuff first. If you can&t afford item X don&t charge the expense on your credit card, wait until you can afford the purchase.
5. Think about what you&re not thinking about.
Chances are you&ve probably thought about purchasing a dream home. But in all the thinking, have you thought about what you&re not thinking about? Chances are your thinking is biased towards a euphemistic idea of your plans.
For example, you may have considered the benefits of home ownership, like the tax breaks a beautiful new porch, big backyard, and more. But most people (including myself) have a tendency to ignore the
that come along with home ownership, like leaky faucets, cleaning the roof gutter or the expensive mortgage.
And like I&ve said before, happiness is in the small details of life. So if you buy a house that is old and in constant need of repair, it might not bring you a whole lot of happiness unless you enjoy spending most of your free time doing repairs.
6. Listen to the crowd.
We&ve all been told it&s important to think for yourself, but there is something to be said for listening to the crowd and learning vicariously. Friends, family members, and large groups can tell you a lot about their s and what brings them joy and happiness.
For example, when you go to iTunes to purchase a movie it&s a good idea to take a look at what the reviewers are saying. If you are considering watching movie x, and movie x got five starts, it&s highly likely you&ll enjoy the movie too.
Researchers point out, &the best way to
how much we will enjoy an
is to see how much someone else enjoyed it.&

Whatever else he may be, Milo Yiannapoulos is an elegant and well-spoken individual.
I ought to sue your “Dangerous Faggot” tour for misleading the public. The only thing you’re dangerous to is a skinhead’s self-esteem. The world is full of very dangerous faggots, but you are not one of them. I raise a glass to the real dangerous faggots, from the AIDS survivors and queer anarchists to the gender warriors and the mincers of Fire Island. Here’s to every disobedient queer body to ever walk the streets in defiance of state and society.
If we, the gender deviant, were not dangerous, you would not be so clearly threatened by us.
As I write this, Milo, I’ve got terrible period cramps, and I’m a bigger fag than you’ll ever be. Hell, I’m probably a better top than you.
When you get here on Feb. 1, we will be waiting here to strip you of your gay identity. You can have sex with all the men you want, but you’re not gay anymore. You’ve used your sexual orientation as an excuse to spit bile and galvanize cowards for long enough. Put your badge and gun on my desk. The community rejects you. You have never been one of us.
You never should have booked this UC tour, Milo. But you want to come to my town? I say, welcome to Berkeley, mother[frack]er. I’m the meanest gay on this coast. I was assigned to raise hell at birth. You come through me
