Do you have any problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so, you will find Being a Happy Teenager written by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews.
In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. There are many subjects, such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and should forgive (宽恕). The book tells us some useful ways, such as how to understand better what you learned. Many teenagers think happiness comes from a good exam result or praise(表扬) from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.
Success comes from a good attitude(态度). If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school students have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking in a positive(积极的) way. If you are tall, you can get a better view(视线) when you see a film; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’ most important lesson, “You choose to be happy!”
Answer the following questions according to what you have read.What’s the name of the book written by Andrew Matthews?

According to Paragraph 2, where does happiness come from for many teenagers?
Is it right to think in a positive way?

When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, and then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the air near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves around you. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt?” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it breaks, and rain falls into the cracks(裂缝). The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean?” The ocean does not get saltier every year. Scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.
We have known a lot of things on the earth, but there is still a long way to go about the study of our world.
Judge the following sentence true (A) or false (B) according to what you read. (判断正A误B)Scientists can answer all our questions.
Now scientists know what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer.
Scientists say that the salt in the ocean comes from rivers and lakes.
A rock breaks when rain falls.
Scientists are not sure about some questions because there are still many new things for them to
know.
