He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the countrys economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor(扶贫)and pro-r
27、ural(惠农)policies(政策),including increasing spending on public health-care and cutting down the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help.

Increasing the government income.DPeople may seek true happiness for their whole lives, and believe it is impossible to achieve. However, there are some scientifically proven ways to become happy.Exercise is one of the easiest
34、ways to become happier. In fact, you may only need seven minutes a day to be happier. Not only is exercise a natural protection against depression (沮丧),it aids you in your intellectual powers, in relaxing, and in improving your body image.Staying home too often can be a downer for your mood, as you
