131．Bees play a vital role in the world，Unfortunately，bees are dying by the second，The main purpose of bees is to make jye.ai.Honey，shockingly，does not exist for human consumption，it is essential to the insects.Honeybees store honey in their hives" in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period.They collect pollen which supplies protein" for young bees to grow.
According to Honey.jye.ai.，the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honey bee pollination is valued more than ＄14.6 billion per year.These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today，including apples，grapes，coffee，beans，and broccoli.

Of course not.In fact，the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster（1758-1843）.He was a teacher who reformed 'English to make American identity stronger.Linguists celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
After the Revolutionary War（1775 - 1783），Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British dictionaries.
He dropped the British "u" in some words.And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded.He used "subway" instead of British word "underground".Some other examples are "soccer" and "football"， "fall" and "autumn".
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opjye.aiions.In defining" preposterous （unreasonable），he wrote： "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828.He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity" and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
"He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity，" said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a book about Webster. "He at last brought us together through our language.

Do we have any control over our happiness？According to scientists，our genes and environment are the factors that account for sixty percent of our happiness.The remaining forty percent，however，is up to us.And it can make all the difference!
Think of it this way.If you had an exam coming up，you wouldn't expect to achieve good results without the right study habits.In a recent study，scientists asked happy people what their habits were.What did they find out？
（2）
It's easy to get into the habit of negative，focusing only on the bad sides of a situation.Happy people look for the positives.We should do this too!Remember，every cloud has a silver lining.
（3）
You may think money is really important for happiness.After all，money can buy us the latest smartphone，oversea holidays，fashionable clothes，and so on.However，these things don't satisfy us for long.Happy people know how to enjoy simple pleasures，many of which are free，like a laugh between friends or a hike in nature.
（4）
Happy people don't spend time feeling envious of the others because they are smarter or focusing on what they don't have.You shouldn't either.Every day you should think about one thing that you're thankful for.
（5）
Think about what you can do for others.You don't have to do anything big，even small actions can improve someone's day.And when we do something kind，we get a "helper's high".That is，we feel happy too!
If we want to be happy （and who doesn't？），we should choose gratitude and kindness，and do our best to stay positive.As the poet Helen Steiner Rice says，you have to help yourself to happiness!A.Take time to be kind.
B.Be thankful for what they have got.
C.Discover the habits of happy people.
D.Be interested in modern things.
