Saturday, 5th June
Dear Estelle,
I hope you're well and not working too hard! I've been preparing for my exams now for the last two weeks. That's why I haven't written for such a long time.
Since the beginning of this year we've been doing a project called "World Class". Have you heard of it? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could. The school chose a "twin school"
In a different area of the world. Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda, a country in Africa. They gave us someone to write to from that school. For three months, I've written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me.
It's been so interesting to hear about her life. She's told me all about her school and described her daily life. I can't believe that her school doesn't have any electricity. She goes to school from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening. I can't believe how lucky we are here!
I love it because it's the first time I've thought about what life must be like somewhere else. I can't believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us. I think more people should help out with projects like this. At the weekend we're going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school. Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself—who knows?
Lots of love,
 Suzanne

Sadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." That's to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret 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, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's 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 living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. 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 or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.
If you do above, you will be happy.
74. How many suggestions of happiness are mentioned in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
75. If you want to enjoy the simple things in life, you can                 .
A. listen to your favorite music
B. remember some problems
C. think about getting into college
D. read a bad book
