2.  Amy and Susan both live a common life. They have a common house, a common job and a common family. There is really nothing special about their lives, but there is also nothing really unpleasant about their lives.
  However, when they are both happy, it always seems that Amy is happier than Susan. It looks like nothing can trouble Amy. She always has a big smile on her face.
  Susan can't stop thinking about this. How is Amy so happy when they both live such similar (相似的) lives? They go to the same stores, watch the same movies, and have similar school life! How can Amy be so carefree when there is so much stress (压力) in life?
  Between one's daily life and dreams for the future, there is no way one can be so happy and relaxed all the time. There are always thousands of things going on.
  But when Susan asks Amy about this, Amy says, "I just take life as it comes. It seems pretty easy then."
  So what is the difference between these two friends? How is it that Amy's life seems so much better most of the time?
  The problem with Susan is that she pushes herself too hard in her mind. While she tries to do everything at once and think about everything at once, Amy takes everything one step at a time.
  She is where she is, stays present in the moment and makes herself pay attention to just one thing at a time.
  When you live each moment to its fullest, most of your stress will go away.

3.  Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.
  The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put along railway tracks (轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned (警告) people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from far away. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".
  However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go". So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.
  During these times, people travelled by train or in cars pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers, were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to tell drivers to take care and make sure that people can cross safely.
  Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
