短文属于记叙文。主要讲述了一个女孩救了一只蝴蝶，因此得到快乐的秘诀的故事。
1.“feel+形容词”表示“感觉、感到……”。
2.根据下一句中的“The butterfly”可知。
3.“努力飞走”和“失败”是转折关系，用but。
4.固定短语：turn into“变成”。
5.亲眼目睹“蝴蝶变成仙女”，可以推测女孩非常“惊讶”。
6.从第二段“The kind little girl saved the butterfly with great care.”可知，女孩救过仙女（当时是蝴蝶），她因此而感谢。
7.后面内容一直围绕女孩一生快乐在讲述。由此可知，她当初的愿望就是想happy“快乐”，而且仙女成全了她。
8.根据短文最后一句“helping others would make me happy all my life.”可知，她乐于助人，才快乐；使用always“总是”。
9.根据后一句“The secret of my happiness”可知。
10.前面是问题，后面是回答，因此用“…answered”。
11.根据下一段最后一句“Please tell us what the kind fairy said”可知：女孩当时说话内容中提到的是这个仙女。
12.从第六段第一句“the kind little girl…was popular among the villagers”可知，她生活在村子里，围拢来的邻居是这个村子里的。
13.通过上下文可知，大家想知道“快乐的秘诀”，害怕女孩死后秘诀也随着消失。
14.从第六段“She always smiled and…”可知，这是她的习惯，临终前也照旧微笑，这也正体现了她的快乐。
15.前面是“rich or poor”，此处是old和young进行对比，no matter how old or young是“无论老幼”的意思。
