A few days after registrationopened at Yale for Psyc 157，that is，Psychology and （注册）the Good Lie，roughly 300 students had signed up. Within three days，the figure had more than doubled. After three more days，about 1200 students，or nearly one-fourth of Yale students，were registered，making it the most popular course in Yale's 316-year history.
The course，taught by Laurie Santos，a psychology professor，tries to teach students how to lead a happier，more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures.
“In reality，a number of students are anxious，stressed and numb，adopting harmful life habits that led to mental health problems. They want to change，to be happier themselves，and to change the high-stress campus culture，\taking it，if we see good habits，things like students showing more gratitude，delaying less，increasing social connections，we're actually seeding change in the school's high-stress culture.\
The course focuses both on positive psychology─the characteristics that allow humans to be healthy and happy─and behavioral change，or how to live by those lessons in real life. Students must take quizzes，complete a midterm exam and，as their final assessment，conduct what Dr. Santos calls Hack Yo'Self Project，a personal self-improvement project.
Dr. Santos is not monitoring whether students complete weekly assignments, like

performing acts of kindness and forming new social connections. But while others might see easy credits, Dr. Santos refers to her course as the “hardest class at Yale”. “To see real change in their life habits, students have to hold themselves responsible each day,” she said.
Dr. Santos has encouraged all students to register in the course, arguing that the things Yale students often connect with life satisfaction such as a high grade or a good-paying job─do not increase happiness at all. “We have this moment where we can make a difference in Yale's culture, where students feel like they are part of a movement and fighting the good fight,” she said.

Reading is a very active process. You have to imagine a scene in your head and understand what the writer is trying to say.
Advantages of reading
36． You will encounter new words while reading. If there are too many new words for you, then the level is too high and you should read something simpler. But if there are a maximum of five new words per page, you will learn them easily. You can guess the meaning from the rest of the text or use a dictionary.
A reading text can be a model for writing.37． What you read show you structures and expressions which you can use later in your writing.
You can see “Correctly Structured” English while reading. When people write, they use “correct” English with a proper grammatical structure. This is not always true when people speak.38．
Reading tips
Try to read at the right level. Read something understandable. If you need to stop every three words to consult a dictionary, you will soon be discouraged.
Build up your new vocabulary. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your vocabulary book.39． Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read, then come back when you have finished reading to refer to a dictionary.
40． For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes before you go to bed, or after you get up, or at lunchtime. A．Try to read regularly. B．Work at your own speed. C．Learn vocabulary in context.
D．You don't have to write them while you read. E．Reading gives you a good example of writing.
