The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods : Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant changein English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。与 其他语言一样，英语也发生了很大的变化。英语的历史可以分为三个主要阶段：古英语，中 古英语和现代英语。英语起源于公元5世纪，当时三个日耳曼部落入侵英国，他们对英语 语言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世纪和现代社会初期，英语的影响普及不列颠群岛。从 17世纪初，它的影响力开始在世界各地显现。欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的 重大变化。今天，由于美国电影、电视、贸易和技术、包括互联网的大受欢迎，美国英语的 影响力尤其显。ival is considered to be Chinese Valentines Day.

Minimalist living, in simplest terms, is to live with as less as possible, mentally and physically until you achieve peace of mind. Results that ensue are less stress, more time, and increased happiness. Minimalists like to say that theyre living more meaningfully, more deliberately, and that the minimalist lifestyle allows them to focus on whats more important in life: friends, hobbies, travel, experiences. Of course, minimalism doesnt mean theres anything inherently wrong with owning material possession s. Todays problem seems to be that we tend to give too much meaning to our thi ngs, often forsaking （抛弃）our health, our relationships, our passions, our personal growth, and our desireto contribute beyond ourselves. In addition to its application in peoples daily life, minimalism also finds application in many creative disciplines, including art, archit ecture, design, dance, film making, theater, music, fashion, photography and litera ture.极简主义是指去掉多余的，仅保存需要的局部。用最简单的话来说，极简的生活方式， 就是生活得越简单越好，直到获得心灵的平静，这种简单既是精神上的，也是身体上的。这 样的生活方式会减轻压力，带来更多自由时间，并增强幸福感。极简主义者会说，他们生活 得更有意义了，更沉着了，极简的生活方式让他们着眼于生活中更重要的事物：朋友、爱好、 旅游和体验。当然，极简主义并不意味着拥有物质财富从本质上来讲有什么不对。现在的问 题似乎在于，我们往往太重视所拥有的东西，而常常抛弃了健康、人与人之间的关系、我们 的热情、个人成长以及帮助他人的愿望。极简主义除了在我们的日常生活中可以得到应用， 还存在于很多创意领域，包括艺术、建筑、设计、舞蹈、电影、戏剧、音乐、时尚、摄影和 文学等。中翻英国民幸福指数(National Happiness Index , NHI)是衡量人们幸福感的一种指数， 也是衡量一个国家或地区经济开展、居民生活与幸福水平的指标工具。随着中国经济的高速 增长，中国政府越来越重视人民群众生活质量和幸福指数的提升。政府注重改善民生，努力 改善人民群众的经济状况，满足人民群众日益增长的物质文化需求。当前，中国政府提倡释 放改革红利，让人民群众得到更多实惠。所有这些都将有效促进我国国民幸福指数不断提 升。National Happiness Index (NHI) is an index that measures how happy people are.

Americans view the family as a group whose p rimary purpose is to advance the happiness of individual members. In contrast to many other cultures, the primary responsibility of the American family member is not to advance the family as a group, either socially or economically. What would be best for the family is not usually considered to be as important as what would be best for the individual. With freedom comes the responsibility to care for onese If, for it is the freedom of choice that carries with it the responsibility: to accept th e consequences of the choices.
