1．Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．
   New rankings from the United Nations Development Program's Human Development Index rate Iceland as the best country in the world in which to live．

   Icelanders are offspring of the Vikings，a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century．This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern day Iceland．Almost all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad，and most speak English．
   Perhaps as a result，Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system．
   "Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，" said the former Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde．"We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the cando attitude - that if you work hard，anything can be done．"
   Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and accomplished musicians．There's Sigur Ros，a postrock band，and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．
   "Iceland has harsh nature，with its bitter everchanging weather， " said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist．"We cannot escape it．So we find ways ______．We have to have a rich internal life to fill the empty spaces．"

   However Chinese Zhongyuan Festival is still a serious thing and people are scared of ghosts when talking about them．There are some taboos during the festival which can avoid the spirits from hurting you，like no swimming and no walking outside late at night．
   Pumpkin lantern & Water lantern
   During Halloween，people make pumpkin lights，which are made by hollowing the pumpkin，carving evil faces on the surface and put candles inside，used to drive out the spirits．
