One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It"s like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 小题1: .
Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room, 小题2: I see is hair." Once you"ve 小题3: what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will 小题4: make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 小题5: , or forget about it and 小题6: the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively 小题7: life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 小题8: remain happy.
The first 小题9: is gratitude. All happy people are 小题10: . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 小题11: , but it"s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 小题12: that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 小题13: are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 小题14: studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 小题15: to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 小题16: has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 小题17: a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy, it should 小题18: this truth: if you choose to find the 小题19: in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 小题20: your decision to make.

When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero.

小题4:Which of the following can best describe the father?| A．busy, tough and reliable | B．strong, skilled and optimistic | | C．tough, reliable and hardworking | D．rough, reliable and friendly |

The car, running along the well-lit road now sank in darkness. I broke the 36 on purpose, for fear that the driver was too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock after this trip.” Then when do you come out in the morning?”I 37 another question. “9 o’ clock, too—just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride a taxi, what I 38 from the driver are only complaints that they have to work from morning till night, it’s hard to earn money, they’re often 39 by the police, or that their leaders are seated 40 , enjoying the fruits. But this driver told me, “I find it 41 to be a section chief as I was before. I like driving just for pleasure. It’s fortunate that I 42 drive without a passenger. So I earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Yes, I never 43 an empty taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along a highway, I turn into a narrow street…”
His words showed his 44 with his life and the pride he 45 in his
job. Such feelings are so 46 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountain. How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling moved when finding such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold 47 .

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat"s days were numbered. The doctor had said there wasn’t anything more that could be done, and that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
A tear rolled down the Man’s cheek and landed on the Cat’s forehead, The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?” the Cat asked. “Because you can’t bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?” The Man nodded “yes”.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor. There, my ‘toy’. The Man reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The man did so. Then the Cat continued, “You have made a continuous circle. Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head.
“Close your eyes.” the Cat said. “Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said. “Lick your hand, think of me in all my familiar places, and think about all the pieces of string.”
Licking his hand, he discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop, and when he didn’t, he opened his eyes. The Cat’s eyes were closed. The Man stroked(轻抚) the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
One day, not long after, there was a new cat on his lap. She was a lovely white cat. It is very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
