In the depths of theFrench Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own socialcustoms. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because ithas been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they shouldlive by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into aninteresting area of “l(fā)awlessness” in the world.
The lives of thesepeople have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman formParis called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remotecorners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, withhalf its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.
“I have a special lovefor the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost tenyears,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus Ihave been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it asa lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”
“I wanted to showthe audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to showdifferent specific worlds more clearly.”
His black-and-whitepictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show peopleseemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These localcitizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting huntinglifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, whichbrings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.

【題目】A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modem manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone. The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone.

Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www.Netmums.com said, “While this checkout operator doesn't have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”

Almost everyone wants to be happy, but not all know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
(1)The best title of this passage is ___________.
A.Good Friends Make You Happy
