What is a smile? Some people think it is the expression of the heart. I think it is a kind of language. It shows kindness and friendliness. It also shows that a person is happy. For example, a student may smile when he or she makes great progress in studies. Or a person may smile if a friend tells a funny joke. 【1】.

First, smiles are nice. People always try to look nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. 【2】. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

【3】. Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, others will laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh. It is the easiest way to cheer someone up.

Finally, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, when you smile, it only takes 17 muscles(肌肉). But when you are sad, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. Also, smiling is very good for the body. 【4】. You’ll find that it will be difficult to stay sad for very long!

A．However, people often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear

B．Second, smiles have power

C．Of course, there are some other good reasons to smile

D．Even though you are sad, try smiling

Besides, many kids said that other students at school sometimes play tricks on them after their parents post photos online. Once, a girl was bullied (欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s Wechat, which had many family photos.

27、I graduated from college recently and moved to Washington by myself. While I was in college, it was really easy to meet new people. But “out in the real world”, I was finding it really hard. I live in a big city, and it seems like everyone around me is busy or already has all the friends they want. I was feeling so discouraged（沮丧的）and I didn’t know what to do, so I called my sister for some advice.

My sister laughed. “You don’t have to look for dates online,” she said. “But you can find other people like you—people who have just moved to town and want to make some new friends. When I first moved to New York after college, I found a book club and a football team online. I met a lot of people that way.”

“But you don’t even like football!” I said.

“I know,” she replied. “But that didn’t matter, I still had a lot of fun. You played volleyball in college. Why don’t you look for a volleyball team to join? Or an art class?”

“Yeah! I saw a website about volunteering the other day?” I said. “I could volunteer for an organization here in Washington. I bet I could meet a lot of really nice people that way.”

“Good idea!” my sister answered excitedly. “Hey, you might even meet the perfect guy.”

“OK, now you’re starting to sound like Mom,” I said. “Thanks a lot for the advice. I’m going online right now. I’ll let you know what happens. Will you be home tonight?”

“No, but I’ll be here all day tomorrow, so give me a call,” my sister replied. “Good luck!”
