Seeing her made me think about something that Thich Nhat Hanh，a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who was nominated (提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize，once said.He urged everyone to practice mouth yoga (smiling)．If you do so，he said，you will feel more positive，at peace. “Hmm，maybe being in a good mood is a choice，”I thought.I can’t pretend to be happy.But what about acting “as if” I’m happy. I arrived at my office building and ran to the elevator before it closed.“I don’t know why I’m running to my office this morning，”I said to a woman in the elevator.We both laughed.When she got out on the 4th floor，I found myself saying：“Keep that smile on your face today.”She turned and said，“I certainly will.” The door closed and I thought，“Me too.Today I’m going to keep a smile on my face，no matter what.” Later，I found this quote from Mark Harrison，who wrote in his blog：“We should struggle to be the creators of our destiny，organizing our own experience of life.Everything starts in the mind and sets out...”In other words，happiness can start with a little mouth yoga. The view of personal happiness is ridiculous.No one ever found happiness alone，gazing at his navel (肚脐)．Happiness is not personal.It is relational.If we improve our relationships，we will surely improve our happiness.An obvious lesson，perhaps，but a necessary one! 21．Why did Thich Nhat Hanh advise people to practice mouth yoga？(　　) A．Smiling brings health to those weak people. B．Smiling helps people forget miserable things. C．Smiling makes people encouraging and peaceful. D．Smiling helps people make more friends quickly. 22．Why did the author say these words to the woman in the lift？(　　) A．They were colleagues and knew each other well.
