A
Perhaps yu think yu culd easily add t yur happiness with mre mney.Strange as it may seem,if yu're unsatisfied,the issue is nt a lack f means t meet yur desires but a lack f desires—nt that yu cannt satisfy yur tastes but that yu dn't have enugh tastes.
Real riches cnsist f well-develped and hearty capacities (能力) t enjy life.Mst peple are already swamped(淹沒) with things.They eat,wear,g and talk t much.They_live_in_t_big_a_huse_with_t_many_rms,yet_their_huse_f_life_is_a_hut.
Yur huse f life ught t be a mansin (豪宅),a ryal palace.Every new taste,every additinal interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a rm.Here are several rms yur huse f life shuld have.
Art shuld be a desire fr yu t develp simply because the wrld is full f beautiful things.If yu nly understd hw t enjy them and feed yur spirit n them,they wuld make yu as happy as t find plenty f ham and eggs when yu're hungry.
Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished rm where yu might find many an hur f rest and refreshment.T gain that lve wuld g tward making yu a rich persn,fr a rich persn is nt smene wh has a library but wh likes a library.
Music like Mzart's and Bach's shuldn't be absent.Real riches are f the spirit.And when yu've brught that spirit up t where classical music feeds it and makes yu a little drunk,yu have increased yur thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter f thrills.
Sprts,withut which yu remain pr,mean a lt in life.N matter wh yu are,yu wuld be mre human,and yur huse f life wuld be better supprted against the bad days,if yu culd,and did,play a bit.
Whatever rms yu might add t yur huse f life,the secret f enjying life is t keep adding.

Many years ag,a French naturalist,Cmte de Buffn,wrte sme bks abut natural histry.The bks were a great success even thugh sme critics (批評家) did nt like them.Sme critics said,“Cmte de Buffn is mre f a pet than a scientist.”
Thmas Jeffersn did nt like what Cmte de Buffn had said abut the natural wnders f the New Wrld.It seemed t Jeffersn that Cmte de Buffn had spken f natural wnders in America as if they were unimprtant.
This trubled Thmas Jeffersn.He was als a naturalist,as well as a farmer,an inventr,a histrian,a writer and a plitician.He had seen the natural wnders f Eurpe.T him,they were n mre imprtant than thse f the New Wrld.
In 1788,Thmas Jeffersn wrte abut his hme state,Virginia.While writing,he thught f its natural beauty and then f the wrds f Cmte de Buffn.At that mment,Jeffersn created a new wrd—belittle.He said,“Cmte de Buffn believes that nature belittles her prductins n this side f the Atlantic.”
Nah Webster,the American wrd expert,liked this wrd.He put it in the English language dictinary in 1806,“Belittle-t make small,unimprtant.”
Americans had already accepted Jeffersn's wrd and started t use it.In 1797,the Independent Chrnicle used the wrd t describe a plitician the paper supprted.“He is an hnrable man,”the paper wrte,“s let the ppsitin try t belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872,a famus American wrd expert decided that the time had cme t kill this wrd.He said,“Belittle has n chance f becming English.And as mre critical writers f America,like thse f Britain,feel n need f it,the sner it is frgtten,the better.”
This expert failed t kill the wrd.Tday,belittle is used where the English language is spken.
