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，which makes us fail to enjoy the present.You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends.If you live with a few close friends，you will feel happier and healthier. Another secret of living a happy life is to be active.Many people go dancing or do 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，you can do good things for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.If you can do that，you will feel happy.47. According to Paragraph 1，what should we do if we want to have lasting happiness？ _ A. Try to make much money.B. Try to be successful.C. Make a lot of friends.D. Make our own happiness.48.

Scientists did an experiment.They asked 114 volunteers to watch a video.After watching the video，volunteers were divided into three groups and each group had the same number of people.The first group was told to walk 10 meters forward.The second group walked 10 meters backward.The third group stood in one place.All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average（平均）than the other two groups. Aleksandar Aksentijevic，who led the study，told the Daily Mail， "You see things from a different angle（角度）. " This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. And walking backward is not just good for our brains.It is also good for the rest of our body.Walking backward is more difficult than walking forward.This can help us improve our fitness，according to New Scientist.Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories（卡路里）. Besides，walking backward is less stressful（压力大的）for our knees.It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees（脊柱）strong，which can help to ease（缓解）pain in the lower back.52.
