Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.
It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little
bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don' t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”
“Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy.” said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.
“I'm happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.
So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?”
“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.
“What is your dream?”
“To produce sweet fruit.”
The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth happiness is not in the faraway place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996，the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006，Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”
1.Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?
A. Sir John Gurdon
B. Shinya Yamanaka
C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka
D. Gurdon’s science teacher
2.What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean?
A. 荒谬的 B. 无畏的 C. 荒废的 D. 无知的
3.In what order are the following events mentioned in the passage.
a. create the sheep Dolly
b. take a cell from an adult frog
c. use a person’s skin to create stem cells
d. move a frog’s genetic information into an egg cell
e. grow into a clone of the adult frog
A. b-a-c-d-e B. b-d-e-a-c C. b-d-a-e-c D. b-c-d-a-e
4.According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A. Sheep Dolly was the first cloned animal in the world.
B. Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.
C. It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
D. According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Ninety percent of the time things don’t work.
B. Luck favors the prepared mind.
C. Life is full of pleasure.
D. How to know cells actually work.

On April Fool’s Day, many of us students came to school dressed in our best clothes.3.In the morning, all of us got together on the playground, waiting for the headmaster. She would speak to the students.4.Instead, she wore jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt. The teachers also got dressed casually like her.
“April Fools!” she said, with a big smile on her face. “We just wanted to remind you that teachers have a sense of humor, too!”
