Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses   21 large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?    22  those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their   23 time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will   24 you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get   25 , your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. When you do something good to others, you will feel happy,  26 . All these are your happiness. If you notice   27 of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same   28 money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy ,because you have something else that can’t be bought with money .When you meet difficulties, you can say   29 you are very happy ,because you have more chance to challenge yourself .So you cannot always say you are poor and you have  30  luck. As the old saying goes : “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens .”If you take every chance you meet ,you can be a happy and lucky person.

"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever things weren't going my way. "Don't worry. One day your luck will change."
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education, I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host a sports programme. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.
In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn't got enough experience. "Get some work with a small station and work your way up," she said.
I went back home. I couldn't get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn't get the job.
I felt really down. "Your luck will change," Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Lowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.
As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员) if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom's words come back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it'll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you've had." At that moment I knew just what she meant.
16. What's the writer's ideal job?
A. A sportsman.                  B. A shop assistant.
C. A sports announcer.             D. A businessman.
17. Why didn’t the writer get the job in Chicago?
A. Because he was too young.
B. Because he didn't get college education.
C. Because he's got a good-looking person.
D. Because he hadn't got enough experience.
18. The sentence "But I got turned down every time. "means"        ".
A. But I was refused every time
B. But I was successful every time
C. But I lost my way every time
D. But the door of every station was always closed
19. What made the writer succeed in the end?
A. His mother’s words.             B. A kind lady’s help.
C. His father’s car.                   D. His own hard work.
20. What's the best title of this passage?
A. Mother's Words.                 B. Everything Happens for the Best.
C. No One Is Always Lucky.         D. To Find a Job in Radio Is Difficult.
