This year’s favorite books offer a mixture of advice on how to create a happier and more compassionate

society through shifting our worldview and improving our social interactions.

Bittersweet

Writer Susan Cain describes bittersweet feelings as “a tendency to states of longing and sorrow and a curious

joy at the beauty of the world”. Embracing these emotions can make our lives more meaningful. Such feelings can

create motivation to reach a renewed sense of purpose. While sometimes unpleasant, they can spur spiritual growth

and foster our connection with others.

Platonic

“Friendships are wrongly undervalued in our society,” writes psychologist Marisa Franco. It’s friendships that

provide us with a great sense of belonging and happiness. Her book shows us how to go about it—by reaching out,

offering affection and generosity. Franco gives practical guidance on how to manage psychological blocks to

friendship, paving the way to deeper relationships.

Happier Hour

Many people feel they don’t have enough hours to do everything they’d like to do. But researcher Cassie

Holmes shows why this attitude is wrong-headed. She encourages us to evaluate our current use of free time and

how much pleasure we get from our activities. Then, she offers evidence-based tips on how to use time more wisely

—by lessening technology use, developing relationships and experiencing gratitude.

The Secret Life of Secrets

Is keeping a secret a bad thing? In professor Michael Slepian’s book, “People don’t like to be alone with their

thoughts, and having a secret can cause feelings of isolation and uncertainty.” Therefore, it’s probably good to find

a different way to cope, like telling your trusting friends. Slepian offers tips on how to decide whether to keep or

reveal a secret to avoid harming relationships.

C. Revealing a secret for stable friendship.

D. Developing interpersonal relationships.

Mercy Baggs is reflecting on her future. “Should I live to 95, I would do another parachute jump, ”she says.

She first jumped when she was 77 in honor of her achievements as mayor of the Wiltshire town of Calne. Then she

jumped again last March, a day before her 90th birthday, to raise funds for Wiltshire air ambulance.

“This is the thrill of it, ”she says. “You go up, and then that door opens and the wind starts to come through.

You free-fall for a long time. ”She has always enjoyed risks since she was a child, when people used to look down

on her. But nobody does now.

As a child, she lived in poverty and also went through ups and downs, “I am very sensitive to people who are

more unfortunate, ”Baggs says. As a young adult, she joined the British Transport Commission police, but dealing

with children who couldn’t find their parents was too much to bear. “I knew what they were going through. I like

kids. I really do. ”Later she left the police and worked in Wiltshire council. But no doubt her childhood fed into her

actions as a councillor, and later mayor in Calne, where she helped to set up a drop-in centre for young people. The

drop-in was one of the causes she raised money for with that first leap out of the plane.

But why a parachute jump? At the time, her late husband, John, was ill with bowel cancer. He said, “I do wish

you wouldn’t do it. ”She said, “John, it’s life. I’ve got to do something. ”

Baggs has never been fazed by ageing. She says that she wanted to show that you don’t have to sit on your

backside knitting or watching television all the time. There’s a world out there. There’s a life out there. She hopes

for at least one more skydive, maybe a go on a 100mph zip wire and “a peaceful end” .

4. Why did Mercy Baggs make her first parachute jump?

A. To celebrate her 90h birthday.

B. To make others look up to her.

C. To raise funds for an air ambulance.

D. To mark her term of office as mayor.

5. What impact did her childhood experiences make on her career?

A. She did parachute jumps as a part-time job.

B. She showed great concern for unlucky children.

C. She found it very tough to work with young people.

D. She left the drop-in centre and prepared a run for mayor.

6. What does the underlined word“fazed”mean in the last paragraph?

A. Disturbed. B. Abandoned.

C. Witnessed. D. Embarrassed.

7. What does Baggs intend to convey with one more jump?

A. It is never too old to learn. B. Enjoy life with her family.

C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Be brave to face challenges in life.

An increasingly popular way of eating called reducetarianism may sound like a new weight loss trend. But

that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small

changes that are healthy for you and the planet. “But the vast majority don’t want to go vegan”, says Brian

Kateman, co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation. So he has a simple message for us: “Don’t let perfection be

the enemy of the good.” Compared with a vegetarian, reducetarians take a more flexible approach that

acknowledges challenges of giving up meat entirely but still limits meat when possible.

The opposite side of eating less meat is eating more plant foods. Animal products often replace fresh fruits,

vegetables and whole grains, leading to lack of nutrients from them. A more plant-based diet can help lower the risk

of health problems including heart disease, colon cancer, and obesity. And research shows the climate toll from

raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods. This is largely because it takes much more

land, water, and other resources to produce a pound of meat than plant protein, says Dana Ellis, a dietitian.

The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat—from animals raised without antibiotics (抗生素)—

tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil,
