1-Happiness is for everyone

? Do you feel happy in your life?

? What /Who usually brings happiness to you?

? What can you do to make yourself or others happy?

I feel happy in my life. My friends usually bring happiness to me. They tell jokes and play games with me. We share similar hobbies and interests. For example, we can talk about the stars what we both like, which makes me very happy. It’s very happy for me. I’m happy all the time. One of the reasons is when others bring happiness to me, I also bring happiness to others. I share some interesting things with them and buy something they like and give him or her.

For most of the time in my life, I feel happy. In my opinion, happiness mostly depends on people’s feelings. An optimistic person can find happiness everywhere. My friend, Wang, usually brings happiness to me. He is warm-hearted and always offers his help to others. He’s also humorous and likes telling funny stories. Happiness can come from a stranger’s smile, award of a game, or our parents’ love and concern. I can make myself or others happy by helping people in need. That is a simple but effective way. For example, I can offer my seat to the old or people with baby on the bus. All in all, I hope everyone will be happy.

Although I’m facing a pile of homework and huge study pressure at school, I always feel happy in my life. My friends usually bring happiness to me as they always be optimistic to their lives. In order to make ourselves happy, we can read some funny articles or make jokes about our outgoing friends to keep a good mood. What’s more, we can give people who in need a hand to gain happiness from helping others. In a word, happiness to us is like water to fish and we all need to be optimism to reduce pressure from the real world.

I feel happy in my life because my friends always bring happiness to me. They not only help me when I’m in need, but also share their happiness with me. When I’m with my friends, the relaxing atmosphere can always loosen me up. In addition, we can look for our own ways to make ourselves happy. First of all, we should be confident in our identity. I tell myself not to give up and persist in fighting for my goal. When I build my confidence step by step, I find myself smiling and everything seems better. What’s more, we can find hobbies that interest us. We can easily find happiness in the things that we like. For instance, I enjoy every minute when I’m playing the accordion because I love music. As a matter of fact, happiness is around us. All we need to do is to find it and experience by heart. 张文玥(-0-0.5-1)

There is no doubt that happiness is everywhere in my life. It is so real that I can feel it now and then. A nice joke, a funny gesture of someone, a thinner pile of homework, or even a bunch of flowers, a smile on a passer-by’s face, can bring me a great deal of happiness. In fact, making ourselves happy is not even a bit difficult. Just lower the expectation of life. For instance, if we set a goal for being the top 10 of the class instead of struggling to be the best when not possible, we’ll be more relieved and joyful. Another way is to hang out with friends as often as possible. Everybody is not supposed to be lonely and sad during his time with friends. To conclude, happiness is for everyone, though it’s up to you whether to look for it or not.

第二篇：Happiness is for everyone

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free 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 help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

透析：

1. B。这是一个考查细节和事实的题目。文章中有明确的叙述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所问问题和原文的叙述完全一样。

2. D。这也是一个考查细节和事实的题目。在所给文章中可以找到这样地叙述：When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根据这一叙述，我们可以判断：当你在体育课上摔倒时，你的老师和同学们肯定会帮你站起来的。

3. B。这一道阅读理解题同样是考查事实和细节的题目。在阅读文章里我们也能找到关于这问题的叙述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.

4. A。这是一道判断题目。阅读文章里明确叙述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.阅读理解题的A项说，有车的人永远不愿在室外走，与文章所讲完全不同，因此是不对的。

5. C。这是一道考查文章主题的题目。这篇文章共有三段。第一段的主题句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主题句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主题句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主题都是围绕happiness展开的，所以正确答案是happiness。
