    Far away, huge and shaped over thousands of years by the seas and glaciers, Norway's breathtaking natural scenery leaves many visitors in awe(敬畏).
    Adding to its appeal is the fact that the country has once again been selected as the best place in the world to live for health and social prosperity (繁荣). This has been true for 12 years in a row according to the United Nations" 2016 Human Development Index, released on Dec 14.
    "Its outdoor lifestyle, which makes the most of the mountains and fjords (峡湾), undoubtedly plays a key role in the country's health," said the Independent newspaper.
    In the summer, Norwegians go hiking, camping, picnicking and fishing. In the winter, it's time to play in the snow. As the Telegraph newspaper noted, “Many Norwegians grow up on the slopes and can ski like professional athletes.”
    The Norwegian diet is another factor in Norwegians" good health. A typical homemade meal is low in sugar, fat and salt, and is usually made of fish, meat, potatoes, berries, whole-grain bread and vegetables. “Dining out is relatively uncommon,” Women's Health Magazine noted. “There is not a big fast-food culture and there are no ready meals."
    Even though fast food restaurants have been set up in the country, to discourage unhealthy eating, the government has put higher duties on fast food and soft drinks since 1981.
    The mentality(心态) of the Norwegian people has also played an essential role in the country's health and social success. The Danish-Norwegian novelist Aksel Sandemose once wrote down the Law of Jante, which shows important ideas in Norwegian culture: modesty, collectivity and social equality. Overall, the law suggests that no one is better than another person, and that people should not brag (吹嘘) about their achievements.
    "You shouldn't believe that you are more than you are. This attitude deeply is in our social DNA," Robert Mellberg, a tech entrepreneur told the BBC.
