Perhaps there is not much more needed in a recipe for happiness.” Over the past two decades, however, many researchers have concluded that threes a cro

And forget the “empty nest” syndrome: when the children leave home, couples report an increase in marital happiness. But does the

Two researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, Philip and Carolyn Cowan, report in a forthing briefing paper for the Council on Contemporary Families that most studies finding a large drop in marital qual

Parents today spend much more time with their children than they did 40 years ago. The sociologists Suzanne Bianchi, John Robinson and Melis

11、sa Milkie report that married mothers in 2000 spent 20 percent more time with their children than in 1965. Married fathers spent more than twice as much time. A study by John Sandberg and Sandra Hofferth at the University of Michigan showed that by 1997 children in two-parent families were getting s

18、the severe pressure of the Qing Dynasty, He knew clearly that the book couldnt get him wealth or fame but probably bring him disaster. But he still finished it . Of course, many people got not only sense of achievement but also honor and money by doing something good for society and other people. Fo

19、r example, Edison got wealth and great honor from the creation of the bulb light. So did Li Shizhen, the man who studied medicine and wrote the famous book about medicine Ben Cao Gang Mu. Then is wealth or fame useful? The answer is absolutely yes. They can let us achieve our goals much more easily.

20、 They make us satisfied and encourage other people. But dont take them too seriously and turn ourselves into the slaves of wealth and fame. Shao Yifu set us a good example. Born in 1907, Shao strived to achieve his personal dream and set up his own movie factory. He never lost himself in wealth and
