Most people believe that having children is the key to a happy and perfect family life. Commonly, this
idealistic view may remain _l_l_for some, but researchers say that in reality parents are happiest when
their children fly the nest and live alone. Researchers in Germany looked at data from a_ 1_2 _ of 55,000
people over the age of 50 living in Europe. Respondents were asked about tIJRir emotional wellbeing. The
researchers discovered that mo~t parents were more satisfied with lif~after tli~ir children _ 1_3 _ and left
home. The findings also indicated that raising children could cause parents considerable financial worry,
stress and anxiety.
The research was led by Christoph Becker of Heidelberg University. He concluded that the main
reason ___li__parents were happiest when their children left home was that children were providing more
support to their parents. Parents also had fewer symptoms of depression and a more positive outlook on life
as they no longer lived with and _1_5 _ their children. Regarding the role reversal ofproviding support, Mr.
Becker said, "The role of the child as a caregiver and provider of financial support might outweigh the
negative effects of parenthood."

Everyone appreciates acts of kindness. However, people tend to take two extreme positions for
explanation. Some think that kindness is something completely selfless we do out of love and care, while
others think it's just a tool we cunningly use to win popularity and get benefits. However, lots of research
shows that being kind to others can actually make us get good feelings in a number of different ways.
One of the good feelings from helping is termed·"warm-glow effect." peciding to be generous or to
cooperate with others will activate an area of the brain called the striatum- this area responds to things we ·
perceive as beneficial, such as delicious food or even addictive drugs)Due to this, the activity we see in the
striatum may serve as the biological basis of warm-glow effect. Certainly, you don't have to scan your brain
to see how kindness brings this kind of benefit. Psychological research shows a strong connection between
kindness and happiness from an early age. In fact, even just recalling the sweet memory of kindness may
be enough to. improve teenagers' mood. Research also indicates that spending extra money on others may
increase more happiness than spending it on yourself.

In the 19th century, women were the driving force behind many reforms. The majorit
y of issues were
related to the family and what was in the family's best interest. Women dedicat
ed themselves to abolish
slavery and stop child labor, also supporting women's rights. During the 20th century
, the role of women in
society changed even more. More women spoke up, attracting a growing audience.
Two examples are given
below for relevant information.
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was a labor activist at the turn of the 20th century.
Traveling across the
country, she gave speeches, organized laborers and spoke for children, factory worker
s, coal miners, steel
workers and immigrants. She protested that workers who worked long hours in harmfu
l conditions only got
pennies. At times her speech was rude, but her words energized workers to fight
for better terms and pay.
In 1912, she delivered her now-famous speech at a coal mine in West Virginia
. As a result, workers had
struck for better contracts with mine owners. Her speech has survived to this day because
mine owners hired
stenographers to take notes in order to accuse her of inciting violence.
Margaret Chase Smith was the first woman to serve in both the House of Represe
ntatives and the
Senate. In 1948, she won the Senate election. Two years later, when other opinion
leaders didn't dare to
express their opinions, she bravely spoke out. At that time, Americans feared the spread
of communism and
its ties to the Soviet Union. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was leading a movement
to identify communist
activity in America. McCarthy's hunt ruined the careers and lives of the people
who were accused. Smith
made her "Declaration of Conscience" speech in the Senate. She did not name McCart
hy specifically, but
she commented on the state of fear diving into American politics, warning of the
danger of anti-American
tone that was used to attack political opponents. Consequently, Republicans did not
agree with McCarthy's
approach and broke with McCarthy later.
43. What were~other Jones' speeche~ known for)

Over the past decade, many major supermarket chains have been criticized for various unethical
practices, especially wasting tons of food and contributing to excessive plastic waste in their packaging.
This has made an adverse effect upon our environment.
In response to consumer backlash ·against the huge amount of plastic waste generated by plastic
packaging, some of the UK's largest supermarkets have signed an agreement pledging to change packaging
and reduce plastic wastage. In an effort to commit to reusing, recycling or composting all plastic waste by
2025, supermarkets nowadays start taking some responsibility for the part they played in destroying our
environment in the past. For instance, a major supermarket(Asda, has announced their plan to eliminate all
plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2023.) .
In response to criticism of food waste, some supermarket/are donating some of their food surplus)
However, charities estimate that they only get 2% of the total foo'a-left in supermarkets. When asked about
the exact figures of food wastage, most supermarkets operate in secrecy. Without more transparency, it will
be difficult to adopt a systematic approach to avoiding waste and redistributing surplus food.
Some smaller companies are now offering consumers a greener and more eco-friendly option{?riginal

Without a doubt, it's still a long ~y to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. However, the big
supermarkets might derive inspiration from these smaller groceries and plan for a more sustainable future
