What is your impression （印象） of Denmark？Many of you may know it as a country of fairy tales （童話） because it is the home place of Heinz Christian Andersen．But now Denmark has a new title：the happiest country in the world，according to the 2016World Happiness Report．
The report chose countries considering the following six factors （因素）：GDP per capita （人均生產(chǎn)總值），healthy life expectancy （平均壽命），low government corruption （腐�。�，a sense of social support，freedom to make life choices and a culture of generosity （慷慨）．
Denmark is neither the richest nor the biggest country．So why do the 5.7million people of Denmark smile so much？
"We have no worries．And if we do worry，it's about the weather．Will it rain today，remain grey or get cold？"Knud Christensen，a 39-year-old social worker from Copenhagen，explained to the Independent．
Denmark has a series of policies （政策） that benefit（有益于） its people．For example，the country supports parents if they want to be with their children，especially newborn babies．Danish families receive a total of 52weeks of parental leave （育嬰假）．While American women only have an average of 10.3weeks．
Besides，women in Denmark don't need to worry about whether they are treated unfairly by their male colleagues （男同事）．In Denmark，gender equality （性別平等） is the priority （優(yōu)先）．In 1915，the country gave women the right to vote （選舉）．You also see women in the political world．The country now has its first female prime minister （總理），Helle Thorning-Schmidt．
The Nordic（北歐） country is also famous for its biking culture．In Denmark's capital，Copenhagen，bikes are used for about 50percent of its people's trips to school or work．Biking is not only good for reducing environment pollution，but it's also good for people's health．Just 30minutes of biking a day adds an average of one to two years to a person's life expectancy，The Huffington Post reported．
