Need a reason to be happy? Then you will be happy to know that March 20th is the  International Day of Happiness.

The united Nations set up the International Day of happiness in 2012 to remind us that happiness is a basic human goal and right.

It was celebrated for the first time in 2013. On that day, we celebrated hundreds of “ Happy Heroes” – those who did so much to bring happiness to others. They helped the homeless to live a comfortable life and the poor kids to go to school.

The 2014 Day of Happiness actions asked people to share pictures of making them happy. People all over the world showed their favourite pictures on the Internet. “It’s exciting to see so many people sharing photos of what makes them happy.” Joe, a senior high school students from Canada said. The 2015 Day of happiness actions gave attention on relationships. Modern society is leaving more and more people felling lonely. On that day, thousands of people all around the world reached out to make new connections with others. They visited their neighbours, gave calls to the doctors they didn’t know very well, drove the strangers to station for free…

The theme of the 2019 Day of Happiness is “Happier Together”. It encourages people worldwide to focus on what we have in common, rather than what divides us.

There are some things that are almost impossible to say to our close friends — especially if we want (A) them to be our friends for life. Are you wondering what problems others have?

“I can’t stand your other friends.”

My best friend, Kate, sometimes hangs out with some people that I really don’t like. I think they have a bad influence on her, and she only spends time with them because they are “cool”. Could you tell me if I should bring the matter up with her, or if it would be better for me to keep quiet? I don’t want to lose her as a friend.                                                                                           — Linda

“I won’t help you cheat.”

(B)  My closest friend, Kim, has lost interest in school and studying. He says he’s bored with the whole thing, so he often asks me whether I’ll let him copy my homework. By now I’ve said no, but he keeps asking me. I told him, “I think we’ll get in trouble.” but he just laughed and told me not to worry. I don’t want to put my grades at risk, but I’m afraid to face my friend about this, so I just keep avoiding the topic. How can I get him to stop asking? I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions for dealing with my problem.                                                                                — Mike

“No, I CAN’T do that for you!”

Anna is my best friend. We get along with each other well, but she is asking me to do things for her all the time. “Could you help me pick out some new clothes? Would you mind if I borrowed your bike? Can you look after my apartment while I’m away?” And these are just a few examples. I’ve said yes so many times that now I’m afraid I’ll hurt her feelings if I say no. Any ideas?          — Amy

Drones are like airplanes, only without a pilot. No one without a pilot’s license should be allowed to have one.

Something  bad  or  unexpected  can  happen  when  people  send  up  a self-controlled flying machine like a drone without knowing how to really control it.  Drones can become flyaways, and can be caught up on a jet stream (喷气流) and blown away.  A falling drone can do much damage (损害) to buildings and people.

Though drones can be harmful, they can be very helpful.At a sports event, drones can be used to give the spectators (观众) a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing.They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them find and fight wildfires. Drones can watch secretly on populations of animals in the wild, especially endangered ones.In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it.

Some people think drones can only be used by governments to help when needed. Others think that if rules are obeyed, there should be little risk to people and property (财产).Drone makers say drones are exciting new technology and that the future will be controlled by them.

阅读下面的短文，回答短文后面的各个问题。

Helen has always been interested in helping her community (社区). Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.

After she retired (退休), she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.

She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published (出版), Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.

After a strong storm hit some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre.

One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. She met once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.

Helen says, “The real value of my volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”
