Is your life ruled by love or by fear?Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways.Most of us are controlled by both of them.However,even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness.Here are some suggestions towards love.

Cultivate Gratitude(培养感恩之心)

Gratitude makes us feel happier.If you remember to be thankful for the blessings(赐福)of your life,you will feel more connected to yourself and others.When you let worries go and have gratitude instead,love appears quickly.

Test the Reality of Fear

Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight.A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality.Write down three things that you're afraid of.Then look at each point and ask yourself, "Is this fear really grounded(基于)in reality?" I know when I do this,I often find that fears aren't reasonable.

Take Action

Taking action is the best way to control fear.For example,if you are not feeling well,but you don't go to a doctor,you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem.Once you've been to a doctor,talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one,your fear will become smaller and even disappear.

The title:(1)   

Cultivate Gratitude

★Love will appear quickly if you have gratitude(2)   being worried.

Test the Reality of Fear

Test the reality of fear(3)   

★ Write down three things you're afraid of.

★Look at each point and ask yourself some questions.

(4)   

★Taking action is the best way to control fear.

★ It will make your fear (5)

Do you think laughter can help you deal with pain? Scientists from Britain did two experiments(实验). The first was done in a lab. People wore special wristbands(腕带). Some of them were asked to watch comedies while others watched serious programs. Then the scientists tightened(勒紧)the wristbands to see how much pain the people could feel.

The other test was done at an art festival. Some people watched a comedy show and others watched a drama(戏剧). At the same time, they had to put their backs against the wall and keep their legs bent(弯曲的)just like sitting on a chair. They did this before and after the show.

Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improves people's ability to stand pain by 10%.However, the serious programs and the drama didn't make a difference to pain at all.

The study found that the magic power of laughter comes from endorphins(内啡肽). These are chemicals(化学物质). They are produced by the human body. They make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier. Exercise can produce endorphins.Your muscles(肌肉)move in and out when you are laughing.Scientists believe that this makes your muscles tiring,so we start to produce endorphins.

Scientists also found that the only real and relaxing laughter works not just polite laughter.

Next time you have a headache,get together with a group of Mends,watch a funny movie and laugh.You will soon feel a lot better because laughter is the best medicine.

at an art festival

Shopping online is quite common today. Many people have been used to shopping through the Internet. They love to surf the websites like Jingdong or Taobao, because they think it saves them a lot of time and money and they can buy things at home instead of going to the shop.Smart phones make it convenient to go shopping online.

Both men and women take a great interest in shopping online. However,it's interesting that shopping online isn't the same for men as it is for women. Men go shopping because they need something.

They just go to "have a look around". They want to enjoy the pleasure of shopping.

With the development of the WeChat (微信),selling things online today is a symbol of fashion. More and more people begin to sell things on WeChat. They almost sell everything.
