你要参加一场英语辩论赛，主题为“是不是快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福？”。在参赛之前，你查看相关的资料，并准备你的辩论发言。请认真阅读下面的短文，然后完成以下的任务。

1）   概况短文内容要点，该部分的字数大约30：

2）   就“是不是快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福？”这个主题发表你的看法，至少包括以下内容要点，该部分的字数大约120：

l 以你自己为例，简述你对金钱、快乐的看法；

l 你如何看待快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福的观点；

l 你的身边的同学如何对待快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福的观点；

l 你对身边的同学的观点持什么看法？为什么？

[写作要求]  你可以使用实例和其他论述方法支持你的观点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。

[阅读材料]

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement．

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children, are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep of a three-day vacation. We don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
