2  you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute．

    Why are we not so happy we should be? the secret is：we focus（专注）on what we want

instead of what we have．We keep making Our list of desires（愿望）longer and longer．As a result，

we are not pleased with what we have  3 owned．We say to ourselves,“I’11 be happy when this

desire is satisfied．”However, another desire appears when this one is met．So。we still don’t feel  happy though we have got what we want．Happiness   4  when we always have new desires

hard to satisfy．

    Luckily．there is a way to be happy．Think more about what we have than what we want．Rather than wish you were 5  to have an enjoyable vacation on the beach．think of  6  fun you have had nelil home．Similarly，instead of hating to do much homework，7 teachers for

making you have the chance to practice mole．The list of what you have can also be endless．Each

time you find yourself falling into “I wish life was different” trap（陷阱），take a deep breath and think of 8  you have every" had．

  Pay anole's attention to what you have，and you’11 probably get mole of what you want． 9

example，your good attitude toward doing homework can bring exeunt grades in exanlt8 because 10  makes perfect．

    Start to focus on what we have! The more we feel satisfied．the more happily we’ll live．

This year, Chongqing primary schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most primary schools will begin the first class at about 9 o’clock in the morning. The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming told us that his classmates were excited by the news on the first day of the school. “Great! From now on we students at Hope Primary School don’t have to get up so early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 a.m. Now he can get up at 7:50 a.m. because class doesn’t start until 8:50 a.m. Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30 a.m. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,” said Wu Hong, “Now I can finish it without coffee, because I can sleep a little longer.”
Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “Students used to doze（瞌睡）for the first two classes in the morning,” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at No.1 Primary School. “But now they are active and learn much better than before.”
But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.
In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.
