Christmas is for giving and sharing, for brightly covered gifts. But, mostly Christmas is for love. I had not believed this until a boy gave me a special gift one Christmas.
Without parents, Brian lived with his mean aunt. I had not noticed him particularly until he began to help clean up the room after school, at risk of being punished by his aunt. During those hours, Brian spoke mostly of his mother, a kind, gentle, loving woman who always spent time with him.
As Christmas came near, however, Brian didn't stay after school. I looked forward to his coming. One afternoon, I stopped him and told him how I had missed him. I saw his eyes lit up. I explained how he had been my best helper and this made him more excited. "I was making you a surprise. It's for Christmas." He became embarrassed and ran away.
Finally came the last school day before Christmas. Brian entered the room with his hands hiding something behind. "I have a present for you." He held out his hands, and a tiny box was lying there.
"It's beautiful, Brian. Let's see what's in it."
"Oh, you can't see what's in it," he said, "and you can't touch it, but mother always said it makes you feel good all the time, warm on cold nights and safe when you're all alone."
I looked into the empty box. "Brian, what will make me feel so good?"
"It's love, and mother always said it's best when you give it away."
Yes, Christmas is for celebrations, songs, and gifts. But mostly, Christmas is for love. So now I still keep the small box.

Talking to yourself may seem a little embarrassing because it is regarded as the first sign of madness. In fact, talking to ourselves is a valuable tool for thought. Self-talk, whether aloud or silently in our heads, allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities and even create something great.
If you watch a small child playing with her toys, you will hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and expressing her sadness or happiness. This is private speech. It's language that is spoken aloud but only to the self. We do a lot of it when we are young.
However, as we grow older, it just becomes part of the way we think. We always do it in silence in our mind. That is why we seldom see adults talking to themselves. Studies have shown that this so-called inner speech can make us be better at dealing with many tasks. The words can give us a valuable way to think about our actions.
Self-talk can be encouraging. One recent study suggested that self-talk is the most helpful when we use "you" instead of "I". For example, before a sports game, some athletes may encourage themselves using self-talk like "You can do it".
Self-talk might be one of the keys to human creativity. Talking to ourselves sometimes means asking questions and providing answers. It seems to be a good way of solving problems. When we do this, we can think about the problem with different ideas, and our thoughts can end up in expected places.
Both the silent and aloud self-talk are good for our thinking. Those words to the self are so much more than meaningless chat.

Are you happy? Perhaps some of you will say "no". In fact, being a teenager is hard. You may worry about a lot of things in your life.
Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? You can find the answer from the chart below. The research was done by the UK's Department of Health among more than 100,000 teenagers. Here are the results.


Many Chinese teenagers share similar worries with the British teenagers. A recent research shows that many Chinese teenagers suffer from social life, study and emotional problems.
To solve the problems, some schools came up with the idea of happiness education. For example, Tsinghua University High School tried to meet students' needs. It built a skating rink and different laboratories to develop their interest.
While schools take action, students themselves can do something, too. The professor Nadia Lovett from Australia believes students' habits, hobbies and attitude toward life all play a role in their happiness.
