Passage 26

(山东省聊城市2008年高三年级模拟(三))

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional　 36　 such as mathematics and languages.

The class sits in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the 　37　 voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

The aim of the game is to 　38　 for an opportunity to shout out the 　39　 without clashing(相撞)with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try,　 40　 of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. But by the fifth　 41　 , they develop a rhythm. The 　42　 . give other people space but also　 43　 claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

Unlike schools in other nations,　 German schools do not usually have school sports teams or seek to build school spirit. Many teens admit they are 　44　 and confused, but school is not usually the place to find relief.

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness　 45　 . It is 　46　 for 17-19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams.

“The course isn’t there to make you happy as 　47　 ,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “　 48　 rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together will be one of the class　 49　 , along with improving body language under the 　50　 of two professional actresses.

The course is taught for three periods a week.　 51　 the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period, we had to each say something 　52　 about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people or teasing,” said Fanny, 17.

The message: self-esteem(自尊)improves　 53　 too.

Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also 　54　 at some US universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using 　55　 from studies of depression.

“That would be too one-sided for us. We want to show how decent(好的)food or exercise can help too,” the principal said.
