Four years later,18 people including Ma, his wife and his friends founded Alibaba in Hangzhou. People called him "Crazy Jack Ma". But 15 years later, Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e﹣commerce(电子商务)company.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future ﹣ for example, getting into college or getting a good job ﹣ that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
(1)Does the writer agree to "Happiness depends on ourselves"?
(2)What can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life's simple pleasure?
(3)Why do many people go dancing or play sports?
(4)What's the example in helping others to find happiness?
(5)What's the passage about?
(1)You may have heard of the famous saying,"East or west,home is the best."(2)"home"这个词对你来说意味着什么? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? (3)43 Although people usually know that the word means,it sometimes has no exact translation. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. (4)家不仅是屋顶和四面墙. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
(5)Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world? Emojis might be the first truly universal(通用的) language.
Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across. A group called the Unicode Consortium is in charge of choosing official(官方的)emojis It has added new emojis every year since 2014. These new emojis do not come out of nowhere. They come from what people think about, like and care about.
Emojis can be used to represent (代表) different groups of people. In 2015, emoji faces with different skin tones(肤色) were added. In 2016, different jobs were added,such as doctor, police officer and painter along with female versions of these jobs. This year, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheel chairs.
But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to pop culture and new cultural trends.New emojis in 2019 have included several animals, such as sloths(树懒) and flamingos(火烈鸟). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular thanks to the 2016 film Zootopia(《疯狂动物城》). Many fashion designers have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animal makes people feel like they' re on a tropical(热带) vacation.
It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in.It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.

In Hebei, there is a small village called Yeli. Through the village,you can see green trees along the riverbank. However, you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was covered with rocks and weeds(杂草). The big change is all because of years of hard work by two best friends: Jia Haixia, who is blind, and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms.
The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other's eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings(插枝,插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together. Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friends empty sleeves (衣袖). After they arrived at the riverbank, Jia Haixia would climb on his friend's shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together.
They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two survived (存活). They didn't give up. Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.
Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees, but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水)and to improve the local environment.

When I first arrived on this island, I had nothing. But I've found the ship and made a small boat. I've brought back many things I can use﹣food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down trees and built a house. I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I'm even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.
A few weeks ago, I found the marks of another man's feet on the sand. Who else is on my island? Not long after that, I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards my house. I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now lives with me and helps me. I named him Friday because that day was the day I met him. He is smart and I have already taught him some English.
