Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on be happier.The first secret（秘密）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 lifes 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 often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to live a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!（1）The second paragraph tells us that _.

Even though the villagers dont spend millions of dollars on the sport, these games seem to be much more fun than the real Olympics!Now in its 77th year, the sport took place in the village Kila Raipur in an Indian state from January 31st to February 3rd. A villager by the name of Inder Singh Grewal wanted to organize an event which would allow farmers to show their skills, keep their culture and just have a good time.Over the years, it has become popular and now includes not just the farmers, but also some of the worlds finest athletes from 7 to 70 years of age. In keeping up with times, there are different modern sports, such as hockey and race and traditional ones such as tug-of-war and even Kabaddi.However, the ones that interest the biggest crowds are the special sports like the bull(公牛)races. In the races, bulls run at high speed against each other, with athletes balanced on small carts(手推车). Then there is the game that challenges athletes to lift bicycles with their teeth. Another sport is using their teeth to pull a car. If that is not special enough for you to get excited about this, there is a competition that allows a tractor(拖拉机) to run over an athletes body!All in all, the sport not only tests the skills and strength of its athletes, but also cheers up people. The best part is that everyone, old or young, can take part in the sport. So its no wonder that over 4,000 athletes and over a million watchers run into the small village of Kila Raipur, each year!（1）Where do the unusual Olympics take place?
