My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed,and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage,they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children,but now not anymore. Everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore;everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day,even in winter. But now we don’t. And in school,the children don’t have to think anymore. In math class,for example,we used to add,subtract(减),multiply(乘) and divide(除)in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads anymore;instead,they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past,we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now less and less people eat home-cooked food anymore.
And people don’t talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk,too busy to eat,too busy to think...
Life used to be simple,but it isn’t anymore.

Happiness is important for everyone. 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 ways 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 tend(有……打算) to live happier and healthier lives.
The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.
