金句

• What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life?
• We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after in order to have a good life.
• As we know, hindsight is anything but 20/20.
• But what if we could watch entire lives as they unfold through time?
• Nobody moves the ball further down the field.
• Some climbed the social ladder from the bottom all the way to the very top, and some made that journey in the opposite direction.
• The founders of this study would never in their wildest dreams have imagined that I would be standing here today, 75 years later, telling you that the study still continues.
• The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.
• It’s not just the number of friends you have, and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship, but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters.
• Those all-too-common family feuds take a terrible toll on the people who hold the grudges.

作业

1.语音作业（必做）
今天主要练习结束（位置：7:37），注意停顿。 不认识的单词一定要查带发音的字典。

I'd like to close with a quote from Mark Twain. More than a century ago, he was looking back on his life, and he wrote this: "There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that."

The good life is built with good relationships.

Thank you.
