16．Happiness is a Journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby，than another．Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．（36）D．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together．when we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire．（37）B．If not now，when？our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said．"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life．But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．（38）GAt last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．"This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
（39）C  So stop waiting until you finish school，until you go back to school； until you get married，until you get divorced； until you have kids； until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…．
（40）F．So，work like you don't need money，love as you've never been hurt，And dance as  no one's watching．

A．Looking back，it's really an extraordinary journey．
B．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．
C．And remember that time waits for no one．
D．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
E．The more you have the sense of belonging，the happier you will be．
F．Happiness is a journey，not a destination．G．Then life would begin．

5．Phys ed （physical education） is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum（核心課程），but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum，the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope，children are taught to lift weights，balance their diets and build physical endurance．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life．
   Considering that 15percent of American children 6to 18are overweight，supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases，that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often"put P．E．on the chopping block，cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered，"says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg，the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum，"she added．
   The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement，partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
   Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

81．In the new P．E．program，children learn to lift weights，balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than（learn how to） climb a rope．
82．As for P．E．，some school boards eithercut in entirely or decrease the teachers or the days．
83．What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports？Less over all movement and few students playing sports after graduation．
84．What is the long-term benefit of the new P．E program？The skills learned can translate to adulthood．．
