Why is Denmark(丹麥) the “kingdom of fairy tales”? Because it was the home of famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. But there might be other reasons， says a new study.

Denmark is the happiest country in the world， according to the 2013 World Happiness Report by the United Nations (UN). The report ranks（排列）156 countries and regions (地區(qū)). All the top five happiest countries are from Europe， and three of them are from Scandinavia.

What makes people there happy? The UN considered several reasons.

Money is one. We are happy if we have money to cover our necessities. But extra (額外的) money cannot bring us more happiness. People in Northern Europe know this. From cars to mobile phones， from clothes to buildings， their designs are quite simple. Luxury (奢華) is not there.

Another reason is health. Nordic (北歐的) people have a healthy diet. They love fresh food. “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We sit down with our families to eat our meals，” said Trina Hahnemann， a Danish cook.

A harmonious (和諧的) social life also makes us happy， according to the UN report. How about Nordic people? They live in harmony not only with people around， but also with nature. Night life is not popular in Scandinavia. People go home after work for some quality（高品質(zhì)的） time with family members. Many families have a backyard. Father and child spend hours there each week， planting flowers and building swings.

Do you want to be happy? Think about the Nordic lifestyle， and happiness is in your own hands.

Trees should be pruned(修剪)when it is necessary. A good gardener will cut away the overgrown and unwanted branches(樹枝). They can make the trees more beautiful and healthier. But sometimes we’d better leave the trees to grow in their own way. Because the inexperienced gardeners will damage(毀壞) the trees.

First， pruning may be done to make sure that trees in good shape or size. Maybe people want to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches. Then people can make the tree’s appearance thick or give it a special shape.

Secondly， pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead branches. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up (封閉)the center and so stopping the free movement of air.

One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy chance for disease， but the wound will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die， so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. Every gardener should try to reduce that danger of death as soon as possible. It is important to make the area， which has been pruned， smooth and clean， because healing will be slowed down by roughness(粗糙). You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then pain it with one of the special materials. Pruning is usually done in winter， because you can see the shape of the tree clearly and also it is very unlikely(未必的) that the cuts you make will bleed. If this happens， it is impossible to paint them properly.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of International Year of the Family， which offers us a window to look into families in the E 2. and West.

Usually， we think families are just parents and children. But the structure are different in different cultures.

In many A 3. countries， extended families (大家庭) are common. In some big cities， families usually have three generations (一代人) living in the same house. When parents are busy with work， grandparents help to do housework and take care of the children.

While in most W 4. countries， many people prefer nuclear families (核心家庭)： families that have only parents and children. During the daytime， working parents send their children to their grandparents’ home or a daycare center. And after work， they pick the children back up and go home. Some families are even DINK (double income， no kids). According to a 2010 Pew Research report， one in five American c 5. don’t want a child.

In addition to structure， responsibility(責(zé)任)of parents to their children can also be d 6. .

In China， many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood. It’s normal for parents to p 7. children’s college tuition (學(xué)費(fèi)). After graduation， many parents also help find a job for their children， or buy an apartment for them.

In Western countries， however， children are supposed to be independent (獨(dú)立的)after they r 8. the age of 18. Most parents will not pay their children’s tuition. Young people mostly have a part-time job or turn to the g 9. for help to cover their tuition. After graduation， if they can find a job， parents usually won’t cover most of their cost of living any m 10. .

Although families in the East and West may differ， it is the best place to warm us and teach us important values of love and care.
