单选题Decoding the Happiness Formula
Happiness is not only found but also created. This is the message of celebrated psychiatrist Jonathan Hammond in his new book, The Happiness Formula, which unravels the secrets of leading a happy and contented life.
According to Hammond, happy people are healthier, have better relationships with their families and friends, and are more productive at work. Although it is true that much of people"s happiness is influenced by their genes and other factors such as income and socioeconomic status, happiness is also heavily influenced by the activities people do in their everyday lives. Based on this, Hammond studied how people find joy in life. He found out that those who are active and positive experience lasting contentment, compared with people who live more passively and have a more negative outlook on life.
He said people can motivate themselves to be happy by engaging in sports and participating in activities that help them find meaning in life. Doing simple things, such as dancing, singing, smiling, or laughing out loud also stimulates positive energy. Hammond stressed that the key to long-lived happiness is making the decision to stay optimistic.
Hammond, who is also a respected professor at Southcane University, has authored different books about personality enhancement and developmental psychology. The Happiness Formula was launched two weeks ago by Leehorn Publishing House and is currently number one on the Fortnightly Informant"s best-seller list.

单选题T-Mart"s Efforts to Protect Environment By Janet Lee
Madison, WI(March 15)-Some large corporations have a vested interest in being socially responsible to the environment. Last Thursday; T-Mart donated $20 million to one of the environmental organizations. The funding will be used to protect the rain forest in Africa. Mr. Thomas Campbell, C.E.O of T-Mart, said they made the donation to support Africa Wildlife Center"s vital work and also to focus attention on the rain forest and wildlife in it.
According to Mr. Campbell, he learned of the problem from a colleague who attended a lecture by Oscar Green, a biologist at the Wildlife Center. Mr. Campbell also heard that the Wildlife Center coordinates with local and state officials to track many endangered animals due to forest degradation, protect their population, and reduce rain forest destruction.
After meeting with Dr. Green, Mr. Campbell encouraged T-Mart"s marketing department to come up with a way of providing ongoing support to the Wildlife Center. As a result, T-Mart decided to give benefits those corporations that use eco-labeling on their products and display their products in the designated area near the entrance to receive more attention from customers who are environmentally conscious. "We aim to give our customers a greater understanding of the importance of rain forest and wildlife," said Mr. Campbell.
Many local business owners, including Mr. Campbell attended Dr. Green"s presentation yesterday at the Wildlife Center. Dr. Green thanked Mr. Campbell and said that a single individual person like Mr. Campbell who acknowledges this concern should try to lead a life in which everything he does is to better the environment. Other people will follow his lead, and it will impact the rest of society"s responsibility for the Earth.

Date: Sept. 20 From: Emil Rodringuez To: Ariel Arthur Subject: Sales trip schedule Hi Ariel. Thanks for giving me the itinerary. I've been talking today with Mel Nguyen, the sales associate we hired on a few months ago from Calsey Electronics. He tells me he is supposed to be in California for the entire month of October, building up relationships with new clients. I wonder if he might be able to attend the Los Angeles meeting in my place. I know he is only a junior associate, but I feel confident he will be able to fulfill the objective. This would allow me to return to Cincinnati on the 5th and begin preparing for the annual sales conference that's taking place on the 12th. I'm sure you know that I'm one of the presenters at the conference, and to be honest I could use the extra time to organize my materials. Also, I have yet to receive a detailed flight itinerary from you. Please send that as soon as possible so I can add the miles to my frequent flyer account. Thank you, Emil
