Happy people are healthier; they get sick less often and live longer. They have more friends. They are more productive at work.

Happiness doesn’t come easy, but you can develop it with practice. A simple way to start developing happiness is by recognizing good things. For this, each evening, you can write down three things that went well and add some details about each, including how they made you feel, and why they happened. Also you can take a 20-minute walk and pay attention to the sights, sounds and smells you meet with. Each time you notice something positive; take time to think about why you enjoy it.

Another simple way to develop happiness is to find meaning and purpose. For example, look out for whatever makes your life meaningful. We can also develop happiness by fostering(培養(yǎng)) a sense of purpose, and here is one way to do that. You imagine for 15 minutes an ideal future in which everything is going as well as possible, from your family and personal life to your studies and health. This exercise motivates(激勵(lì)) you to make changes, rather than reminding you — how imperfect and meaningless your life is now.

In addition, you can develop happiness by putting more time and attention you’re your strengths. Each day for a week, choose one strong point and make a plan to use it in a different way. You can focus on the same strength for a week or work on different strengths each day. At the end of the week, synthesize(綜合) the experience by writing about what you did, how those exercise made you feel, and what you learned. This exercise will help you feel happier and less sad.

Lastly, connecting with people around you is also one of the surest ways to happiness. To achieve this, you just need to help a friend or do something for your family. You can also do something for those who you don’t know. In this way, you can surely achieve happiness.

Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw(生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄紅素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”

A number decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.

Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸) or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.

What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting some other things will make it taste better — a little salt — can make the food taste better.

Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? When you make an order on Taobao, the money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes to Alipay first, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.

This process is called “third party online payment.” There is a transfer station, or a third account(中轉(zhuǎn)站或第三方賬戶), between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also avoid risking receiving no money after sending out goods.

These transfer stations are usually set up by payment companies such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Aliay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users according to Xinhua.

While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products (投資金融產(chǎn)品) through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.

But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesn’t have its own account. When paying through WeChat, buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers. That’s why so many people are excited about sending and receiving “red packets”, or gift money to their friends on WeChat.

Both Alipay and WeChat payments are trying to draw more users and make online shopping easier. New payment methods such as quick response codes (二維碼) have become popular too. Two companies are also developing and improving payments through fingerprints.
