Passage 1
A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same .Leading a happy life is associated with being a “taker”,while leading a meaningful life corresponds with being a “giver”.
Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.
We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.
Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.

April14,2013 Dear teachers and students,
What a pity to see much waste in our university! There are lots of lights left on after leaving, many taps left on after cleaning and leftovers thrown away after dining.
Hence, we sincerely put forward the following proposals:
1. All students and staff should spare no effort to increase our economical awareness.
2. Let US begin with tiny things at once, From now on ,we should turn off lights and taps in time, get a doggie bag if there is food left over after meals, and stop using air-conditioners if it is unnecessary.
3. We should develop the good habits of saving water, electricity, food and other things around US.
Let’s get started together now; let’s help to build a beautiful campus hand in hand.
The Students Union。
