Most of us have three meals a day.We take food for granted（想当然）.And we don't think about it.56experts argue a food crisis（危机）is coming.This crisis is going to make us57the way we think about food.

Food is in great need58a growing of world population.By 1960，the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050，this planet will need to59at least nine billion people.As a result，the food prices get higher and higher.

So，what can a60，crowed world do？One suggestion is to eat less meat.Meat uses more nat-ural resources（资源）than grains（谷物）.It re-quires more61to produce one pound of meatthan to produce one pound of grain. It also re- quires between 5 and 10 times more water than vegetables.So，eating less meat will62more land for farming，and it will save water.

To eat less meat，people will need to change their eating habits.That will not be easy.Ameri-cans，for example，have63loved meat.In gen-eral，they eat twice as much meat as people inother countries.At the same time，in developing countries like China and Brazil，sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years.64will dou-ble again by 2050.Growing need of meat will con-tinue to put pressure on natural resources.

World population is increasing，resources are becoming fewer，and food prices are rising.There-fore，we need to rethink what we eat every day.For meat lovers，we don't need to give up meat65.But we need to eat more grains and less meat.

It is important to have pos-itive（积极的）feelings in our daily life.

Compared31some un-happy people，those who are al-ways pleased and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds，32a new study.The researchers from New York University said，"33helps the body prevent diseases."

"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the34of illness，"said the chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In an earlier study，Cohen found that people who were35caught colds less often.And they seldom told their doctors that they felt36.

In this study，Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks.In this37，the people told researchers about38happy or sad feelings that day.Two weeks later，all of them were made to catch colds by doctors，and they had to stay39in a room for six days.

The results40that each in the study were equal（平等的）to fall ill.41people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy dur-ing the research.Their illness were less serious and lasted for a42time.

Cohen believes that43people have posi-tive feelings，their body may produce a kind of chemical that helps to44illnesses.So if you45your health，please look on the bright side and make yourself happy all the time.

When I was a junior high school student in 1980，God gave me a gift，it was happiness.

On weekend，I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside.On my way home a car ran over me and cut off my41because of its high speed.

Several days later when I woke up at the hos-pital，I realized I had to spend the rest of my life42arms.How sad I felt at that time！Even I was full of fears.43slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it.I couldn't get my arms back even though I44every day.

However，it's easier45than done.It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness46.I got so much from my past story.Fromthen on，I could treat my life with a47mind.But in our daily life，I often see my classmates48about little things：They get a bad grade on a test；their bus comes49；they don't have a mobile phone but50have，and so on.But I only51life.I was lucky to realize from an ac-cident.It is a waste of our life to focus on whatyou have52.We should always think of what we have.So why are so many people unhappy？Someone may say，"My whole life would improve53I have a new car." But when you get the car and what54？For a whole week you are walking on air.Then you go right back to being unhappy.

Happiness depends on what we havel It's in our heart.It's a state of mind，even though you own the whole world，you may still feel55Happiness comes from mastering the art of appre-ciating（感激）and taking pleasure in what you really have.

"What's wrong？"I asked.

He didn't answer and continued to listen.A few minutes later，he said47to me that Tony，our seven-year-old son，had fallen off his bike and48his leg.He must be sent to hospital at once.

At that moment，Paris suddenly lost its charm（魅力）

"I don't want to be here！I shouldn't be here！ Ishouldbe home49my kids"

We hurried back to our hotel and then to theairport...

Finally，we got home.We rushed into our children's bedroom.Seeing our two children，suddenly realized the truth：there is no50sight（风景）in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.
