It is a deeper, more long-lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or a ball game,watching a movie or a telev

But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to

But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir,celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken ma

12、rriages,troubled children, and even long-time loneliness.

If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhapp

13、iness. But ,in fact, the opposite is true: more time than not,things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the efforts that are source of true happiness.

Likewise,the influenza virusmultiplies and spreads most effectively when the air is cold and dry; hence, people

People with seasonal allergies often feel blocked and develop runny noses and unpleasant eyes when theyre near flowers, mold(霉菌) or grass. Sometimes, people may mistake their allergies for a
