Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.

Mallorca

On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness

than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the

other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly

located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas

with spas and swimming pools.

Hawaii

People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of

Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with

different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona

region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu.

California

California is one ofthe best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms.

Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach

small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system,

one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers

create agritourism businesses.

Philippine Islands

With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple

agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of

large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations

that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.

B

I’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of

permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.

It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic

positivity comes from emotional flexibility.

Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the

challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors

and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.

However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which

way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life,

and stick to their deeply held values.

I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of

hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain.

Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are

philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more

sustainable, satisfying model.

Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and

permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this

nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.

4. What is the author’s belief?

A. People should live alone.

B. People can’t always be happy.

C. People can’t always achieve their goals.

D. People should pursue true achievements.

5. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?

A. Their strongly believed values. B. Their different needs.

C. Permanent happiness. D. The pursuit of hedonism.
