While DC does have much to see, there is another city in the US that may offer a deeper historical understanding. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, was founded in 1630, over 150 years before DC became the capital. The American Revolution War actually started in this city, which was the fight to gain independence (独立) from Britain.

I dreamed of getting the present from Santa Claus until my elder sister told me: “There is no Santa Claus.” I ran to my grandmothers house, for she always told the truth. Grandmother was at home. I told her everything. “No Santa Claus?” she said. “Ridiculous (荒谬的)! I dont believe it. Put on your coat and lets go.” “Go where?” I asked. As we walked through the doors of the general store, Grandma handed me 10 dollars and said: “Buy something for someone who needs it.” I just stood there, thinking about what to buy and who to buy it for. I thought of everybody I knew. Then I thought about Bobbie Decker. He didnt have a coat. He never went out to play games in winter. I would buy him one. That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat and write, “To Bobbie, from Santa Claus” on it. Then she drove me over to his house. Grandma parked down the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbies house. Then she said: “All right, Santa Claus is coming.” I rushed for his front door, and put down the present outside his door. I rang his doorbell then flew back to the trees. We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open. Finally it did and there stood Bobbie. That night, I realized Santa was alive and well, and we were on his team.24.

Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy. However, scientists from Queens University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person. “It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, t
