素材1：英语美文《什么是幸福》What is happiness?:
幸福是随便走走没目的什么也不想。幸福是冬天等巴士时喝热维他奶。幸福是看一本精彩的好书。幸福是想起心上人而偷笑。幸福是情人用体温为你送暖。
What is happiness? Different people have different ideas. Some people are rich; they think they are happy. Other people have many friends, so they feel happy. Still others are happy because their lives are meaningful. Happiness attracts everyone. For children, happiness often suggests eating something good or playing with toys. For a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. And for a scientist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him greatest satisfaction.
There was once a beggar who was always happy. The king saw him and wondered why he was so happy because he was so
poor. However, the king could have whatever he wanted; yet he himself was not happy at all. Thus we can see one’s happiness doesn’t depend on whether he is rich or poor. Happiness is a state of mind. As long as o ne thinks he’s cont ent and satisfied, he is happy.
As everything exist only because its opposite , happiness exists only when pain exists. Just as a person who does not know failure never knows success, a person, who has not experienced suffering or sadness never knows what happiness means.. Happiness always promises a hope by which people go on living. When they come to the point of losing hope because they have suffered a great deal, it is often the time when happiness comes that will give them the courage and desire to live.
Cheer up and be happy. Happiness is not far from you. It’s just around you. Try to grasp it and enjoy it.

The 92-year-old,petite,well-poised and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock
这位92岁高龄、个子小巧、自信而又骄傲的老太太，每天早晨8点就穿戴整齐了。
with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied,even though she was legally blind,moved to a nursing home today.
她的头发时髦的护在帽子里，妆也化得恰倒好处，即使她今天合情合理地失明、要搬进一家养老院也不例外。
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away,making the move necessary.
一同走过70个岁月的丈夫新近去世，搬到养老院是必然之举。
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home,
在养老院的走廊上等了半天之后，她被告之房间已准备就绪，she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she maneuvered her walker to elevator I provided a visual description of her tiny room.
她亲切地笑了。当她推起助步车进入电梯时，我对她的小房间进行了一番视觉描述。
“I love it,”she started with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. “我真喜欢这房间，”她热情洋溢的说，好象一个8岁的孩子刚刚得到了一只小狗一样。
“Mrs.Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
“琼斯夫人，你还没有看到你的房间呢……还是不慌下结论。”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,”she replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
那和我喜不喜欢这房间没关系，”她回答说。“幸福是你事先就决定了的。
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind.
我喜不喜欢房子并不取决于家具怎么摆放……而是取决于我怎么想。
I already decided to love it,It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.
我已决定要喜欢它……就像每天早晨一睁开眼所作的某个决定一样。
I have a choice;I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work or get out of bed be thankful for the ones that do.
我可以作出选择：躺在床上，抱怨身体不便带来的困难可以打发一天；或者翻身起床感激某些部位还能活动自如，也可以度过一天。
Each day is a gift,and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away…just for
this time in my life.”
每一天都是一件礼物，只要睁开眼，我就会全神贯注于崭新的一天和收藏多年的幸福记忆……这一切仅为了今生此刻.

happiness的英语演讲稿 篇一：HAPPINESS的英语演讲稿 the road to happiness good morning/afternoon distinguished judges and my fellow students. i am ..from..##. i am going to start my speech with a question. how can we harvest happiness? as for this question, most of you have thought about it incidentally or purposefully. while have you figured out the way? next, i will share my understanding of this question. for me, the road to happiness is the way to fight for my goals and desires. as a matter of fact, i have been on the road to happiness from the moment i was born. when i was 5, i racked my brains（绞尽脑汁） to get a barbie doll or a teddy bear. in order to get them, i was willing to attend the
piano class which actually was the last thing i wanted to do. however, on thinking of my little dolls, i forgot all the pains in the piano class. i deeply believed that i was realizing my happiness, and i was on the road to my happiness. when i was 10,i was fascinated by the title of no.1 which could bring me a huge sense of success. to be the no.1, i sacrificed my rest time to attend all kinds of training classes, and i saved my pocket money to afford reference books. these might sound painful for most 10 years old children. but as long as i achieved my goal, i thought i was on the road to happiness. when i was 15, i became an enthusiast of painting. i enjoyed the way to express myself by means of different colors.. with a strong desire to improve my painting
Unit 9 What Is Happiness? John Ciardi (abridged) The right to pursue happiness is issued to Americans with their birth certificates, but no one seems quite sure which way it runs. It may be we are issued a hunting license but offered no game. Jonathan Swift seemed to think so when he attacked the idea of happiness as “the possession of being well-deceived,” the felicity of being “a fool among knaves.” For Swift saw society as Vanity Fair, the land of false goals. It is, of course, un-American to think in terms of fools and knaves. We do, however, seem to be dedicated to the idea of buying our way to happiness. We shall all have made it to Heaven when we possess enough. And at the same time the forces of American commercialism are hugely dedicated to making us deliberately unhappy. Advertising is one of our major industries, and advertising exists not to satisfy desires but to create them —and to create them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. For that matter, our whole economy is base d on a dedicated insatiability. We are taught that to possess is to be happy, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. It was only a few years ago, to cite a single example, that car dealers across the country were flying banners that read "You Auto Buy Now." They were calling upon Americans, as an act approaching patriotism, to buy at once, with money they did not have, automobiles they did not really need, and which they would be required to grow tired of by the time the next year’s models were released. Or look at any of the women’s magazines. There, as Bernard DeVoto once pointed out, advertising begins as poetry in the front pages and ends as pharmacopoeia and therapy in the back pages. The poetry of the front matter is the dream of perfect beauty. This is the baby skin that must be hers. These, the flawless teeth. This, the perfumed breath she must exhale. This, the sixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever. Once past the vaguely uplifting fiction and feature articles, the reader finds the other face of the dream in the back matter. This is the harness into which Mother must strap herself in order to display that perfect figure. These, the chin straps she must sleep in. This is the salve that restores all, this is her laxative, these are the tablets that melt away fat, these are the hormones of perpetual youth, these are the stockings that hide varicose veins.
【篇一】幸福 Happiness The definition of happiness varies from person to person. Most people believe that earning a lot of money and living the comfortable life are the symbol of great happiness. It is true that making great achievement is our target, so we work so hard to realize our goals. But as we grow up, we realize the different definitions of happiness. 幸福的定义因人而异，大多数人认为赚大钱，过舒适的生活就是幸福的象征。确实，取得伟大的成就是我们的目标，所以我们努力去实现我们的目标。但随着我们的长大，我们意识到关于幸福不一样的定义。 When I graduated from college, the job I chose was far away from home. I never thought about the distance between me and my parents. But in the first year of working, I met some difficult time in my career, just like other young people. At that moment, all I could do was to face the challenge by myself, because I didn’t want my parents to worry about me. Every time when I called home, my parents always comforted me by asking me to go home often. I realized the happiness for me was to have my parents stood by my side. 我大学毕业的时候我选择了离家很远的工作，我从来没有想过关于我和父母之间距离的。但工作的第一年，我的职业生涯就像其他年轻人一样遇到了一些困难。那一刻，我能做的就是独自面对挑战，因为我不想让父母为我担心。每次我打电话回家，父母总是安慰我，让我常回家。我意识到父母能够陪在我身边就是我的幸福。 As an ordinary girl, my definition of happiness is to company my parents as often as possible. Nothing can compare the time to stay with my families. 作为一个普通的女孩，我对幸福的定义是尽可能多地陪伴父母。没有什么能比和家人呆在一起的时间更宝贵了。 【篇二】国际合作节 International Day of Cooperatives Today, the world is globalized and more and more foreigners come to China to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries. 当今世界是全球化的，越来越多的外国人来中国寻求商业合作。许多年前，一个非营利组织将7月的第二个星期六定为国际合作日。其目的是呼吁各国之间进行更多的合作。 With the development of Internet, the world gets smaller, because the communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is full of vitality, so there is no doubt that cooperation between countries will be the main trend. 随着互联网的发展，世界变得越来越小，因为国与国之间的交流增加了。美国一直是超级大国，但在最近，中国和美国之间进行了很多商业合作。众所周知，
教师英语演讲稿：Happiness 教师英语演讲稿：Happiness As we all know, happiness is something that everyone is chasing. But, what is happiness? Does happiness have a universal definition? I say no. But there must be something in life that makes you realize what it means. When you are hungry, you have something to eat. Don’t you feel happy? When you’re in sick, there is a short message full of care and love from your friend. Don’t you feel happy? When you have each tiny wish come true, don’t you feel happy？I always try my best to find out what is the true meaning of happiness. And I think I have got lots of it from my career. Today, standing here, I’d like to share with you a little piece of my happiness from my school life. “Dear queen, how do you feel? Do we massage well?” Lee said softly around me. Of course, the “queen” was me. One day, our P.E teacher was out for business trip. So it was my duty to be the leader in this P.E class. After guiding students to play games for a long time. Everyone was tired. Then, one student lay down. Then, another…in a minute, all of the students lay down on the playground. It was so enjoyable for me to see such a great situation, as in the classroom our lovely guys always sit properly to show their poritive attitudes. The sun was shining. The wind was blowing. Smelling the faint smell of flowers, I couldn’t help closing my eyes and lying on my back. Suddently, a tiny hand touched my arm. “Queen, you must be tired after a day’s work. Right? I’m your faithful maid. Let me serve for y ou.” Then, the other students came over to sit and serve around me. Head, neck, leg. Wow, that was really a great happiness to have such an experience. Dear friends, everyday we have a lot of work to do. Everyday we have a lot of things to complain. But, just like Xiao Shenyang saying, “The eyes close and open - a day is over. The eyes close but never open , all life has gone.” Time is limited. Why can’t we focus on our lovely students and keep a happy mind in the school life? Just like me. Lie down and enjoy the happiness from my kids.
Happiness Is an Attitude 幸福是一种态度 Maybe you wouldn’t say yesterday was a happy day, because you had a misunderstanding with your friend. But were n’t there moments of happiness, moments of clear peace? Now that you think about it, wasn’t there a letter from an old friend, or a stranger who asked where you got such a great haircut? You remember having a bad day, yet those good moments occurred. 或许你会说，昨天是一个不愉快的日子，因为你与朋友之间产生了舞会。难道说那天就没有快乐和平和之时吗？现在想想看，昨天你是否收到了老朋友的来信？是否有陌生人问你：这么漂亮的发型是在哪儿里剪的？你只想着今天是倒霉的一天，却忽略了发生美好事情的某些瞬间。 Happiness is like a visitor, you can’t command her appearance; you can only appreciate her when she does show up. And you can’t force happiness to happen—but you can make sure you are aware of it when it does. 幸福像一位游客，你不能掌控他的出没。只能欣赏她出现时的倩影。你无力迫使幸福出现——而当幸福来临时，你一定会感觉得到。 Happiness is an attitude, not a condition. It’s cleaning the Venetian blinds while listening to an aria, or spending a pleasant hour organizing

三分钟英语演讲：My happiness in NKU 张家玮 三分钟演讲，很短。 Good evening, everyone! It’s a great honor for me to stand here on this special occasion to deliver a speech. Today I’d like to talk about my happiness in Nankai University. I have a senior high school classmate now majoring in economy and finance in Hong Kong University. The other day she asked me the reason why all her friends in Nankai feel extremely proud of this university while those in other schools don’t have such strong passion. I couldn’t tell the concrete reasons, but I did think a lot. To be honest, I felt more than lucky to be admitted by School of Finance in Nankai, for I didn’t do well in the national entrance examination. I lost more than 40 points in physics, which got me the lowest grades and ranks throughout my senior high school life. To my relief, I don’t have to study physics in the following four years, which is definitely an extra bonus. The first day I got here I was warmly welcomed by the whole school. As time went by, I became increasingly busy. But
Happiness First, Money Later We live in a success and money driven culture. If you doubt the truthfulness of that cliché, I’ll refer you to competitive reality TV, your office, the lottery, and just about any marketing or money-based blog on the web. F rom the first day that we understand its power, we’re made to believe that money is the end-all of human happiness and achievement. Unfortunately for young professionals with big career ambitions, the mantra of “more money means the good life” leads to more sorrow than it does to happiness. No Regrets The sad truth is that young professionals who aspire to monetary success (and who doesn’t?) often make comprises in all other aspects of their life in order to make the big bucks. Our society almost encourages the sacrifice of personal happiness for the sake of material success. But what is success if it can’t be shared or appreciated among loved ones? What is a life’s worth of work if you don’t take a moment to stop and enjoy it? The Guardian recently published a compelling piece about the five biggest regrets of people about to meet their maker. The author explains that most people regret that they didn’t lead the life they wanted to lead, or they regret that they worked too hard in life at the expense of those they loved. It’s a revealing story that drives home the need for many
On happiness Everyone have their own way to pursue the happiness they think,but also have a lot of people who have no idea of happiness while working busily everyday. “What is happiness?”.Everybody has his own different opinions for this question. Some people believed that happiness accompanied with the satisfaction in the well relationship just like Victor Hugo,the French novelist,said:“The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved”. There is only the pain which we can feel if we accompany day and night with the person we dislike. But Thomas Edison also said that achievement provides the only real pleasure in life. Well-being comes from intense self-identification and realizing one’s self-value in his view. Different from them,Abraham Lincoln have suggested that the most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.Based on this statement,we might conclude that the happiness is only a feeling which depend more on what you think than what the reality is. This just right consistent with the old Taoist wisdom that happiness consists in contentment to a certain extent. Although the adults have made a lot of discussion in this question,happiness for most of children sames just as simple as joy which is easy to obtain.
Happiness 但那是幸福也没有具体的定义。无论如何，特意强调的追求也许是心领神会的决定，与唐吉柯德的行为一样，也就是说，过程会比终点完美许多。“幸福”我的精神监督曾经一遍又一遍的告诉我，当我告诉他我的患者的信息说，“幸福是人们所渴望的东西。”他停下来，过了一会接了一句我知道句子：“当人们拥有它的时候，就会忽略，所以一直在不断的寻找。” 什么是幸福？这个词最开始出现在16世纪的英语中，在英语词源学与精神上都与happen 毫无疑问，对什么促成了幸福和幸福的组成有许多解释。对于很多虔诚的教徒来说，工作上的突然成功，美满的婚姻，还有随着时间的推移培养出来强壮聪明举止得体的孩子，而这些孩子们看起来非常有能力并且对他们的命运满足，这一切都是幸福的标志，是受到上帝青睐的表现。对于那些不信的人来讲，他不知道自己的生命，也不知道人类在地球上的位置以及目标，幸福看上去就是偶然的东西，充其量就是一个人努力工作后的感觉。但是现在我们说的太早了，大约四百年前，历史上人们对幸福有敬畏感，仿佛是听从于深不可测的宇宙中某些无法理解的用作规律下，来拜访某些人的。只有到了近代，随着男人和女人越来越多地成为世界的中心，或者在他们的脑海里他们的成为了世界的缔造者执行者，成为了能够促成或者某些时间能够发生的人的时候，幸福才能成为一种目标和目的。或者想那些起早国宪法的辛勤工作者有抱负的人所说的那样，幸福是一种需要发起追求的东西。这样幸福不是发生的，而是需要被获取。 这里还得再提这个问题，1600年甚至在往前，幸福这个词被越来越多英国人和美国人的提及。英国诗人，亚历蒲柏的名言，他曾经说道“哇！幸福！”接下来他试图努力把这件事情解释清楚，他说：“幸福是我们人类的目标和目的，美好，享乐，从容，满足，该用什么样的词来定义你呢？”蒲泊在谈及这种思想和心灵上这种微妙的感觉的时候，采用了一

(CNN)Happiness -- you know it when you see it, but it's hard to define. You might call it a sense of well-being, of optimism or of meaningfulness in life, although those could also be treated as separate entities. But whatever happiness is, we know that we want it, and that is just somehow good. We also know that we don't always have control over our happiness. Research suggests that genetics may play a big role in our normal level of subjective well-being, so some of us may start out at a disadvantage. On top of that, between unexpected tragedies and daily habitual stress, environmental factors can bring down mood and dry up our thirst for living. Being able to manage the emotional ups and downs is important for both body and mind, said Laura Kubzansky, professor of social and behavioral sciences at Harvard School of Public Health. "For physical health, it's not so much happiness per se, but this ability to regulate and have a sense of purpose and meaning," Kubzansky said. Why be happy? Many scientific studies, including some by Kubzansky, have found a connection between psychological and physical well-being. A 2012 review of more than 200 studies found a connection between positive psychological attributes, such as happiness, optimism and life satisfaction, and a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease. Kubzansky and other Harvard School of Public Health researchers published these findings in the journal Psychological Bulletin. It's not as simple as "you must be happy to prevent heart attacks," of course. If you have a good sense of well-being, it's easier to maintain good habits: Exercising, eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep, researchers said. People who have an optimistic mindset may be more likely to engage in healthy behaviors because they perceive them as helpful in achieving their goals, Kubzansky said. Lower blood pressure, normal body weight and healthier blood fat profiles were also associated with a better sense of well-being in this study. Why trying to make your kids happy can backfire For now these studies can only show associations; they do not provide hard evidence of cause and effect. But some researchers speculate that positive mental states do have a direct effect on the body, perhaps by reducing
