After an hour“s flight, one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look

3、ntist sent back by radio one word: “Uranium.“ None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic power of looking down below the earth“s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground.trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie
4、 beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing. This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow in the surface.

5、of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested.
6、Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those

11、ork. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties or he may accept another person“s mistaken estimate of his ability.

14、 not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn“t it too bad that Alfred can“t do arithmetic?“ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day, Adler succeeded in solving
15、a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn“t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newly found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with
16、 interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one“s ability, lack of conf

There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these a
22、spects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have beer, more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of “gross national happiness“ or GNH. Thi
23、s concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, no
24、t a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes
25、 happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik: Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others an
26、d giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer: At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, 1 appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are ofter hungry are the ones
27、with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements AA rich person is not necessarily happy. BThings people o
