Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a great Greek thinker, once said, “Happiness depends on (依靠) ourselves.” 31 Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
32 Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future — for example, getting into college or getting a good job — that we fail (失败) to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with your close friends. 33
Another key of living a happy life is to be active. 34 People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. 35 You can help a friend with his or her studies, buy food for an elderly person, or just help out around the house by washing the dishes.
A．Many people go dancing or play sports.
B．In other words, we make our own happiness.
C．If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone.
D．People with a few good friends often live more happily.
E．The first key of happiness is to have a happy and full day.

But is that OK
You often complain that your parents do not understand you. When something goes 39 , most parents think it’s all your mistakes 40 asking for any reasons. Many parents don’t 41 you to make decisions or do things by yourselves. 42 between children and their parents are becoming worse and worse. Maybe you need to find more time to communicate with your parents 43 . Also, you need to try hard to find out a nicer way to get what you want. If you want to stay out late, you 44 speak out what you want to do and why it is important for you to do so. Then they might just agree with 45 request（请求）. So if all of us can be peaceful, communication will be easier.

A. 回答问题(本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题，并将答案写在横线上。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
We make decisions every day. But sometimes it can be hard to make a good decision. What problems are stopping us from reaching better results
· Perfectionism (完美主义)
For perfectionists, it’s difficult to make decisions because they try to find the best answer to every question. If they can’t find one, they are unable to move forward.
· Bias (偏见)
Bias results in poor decisions. People with bias think in a way that is not fair (公平). They usually make decisions that only make them feel good about themselves. However, these decisions might not be the best for others.
Here are some tips to solve these problems.
· For perfectionists, setting a right resolution is much more important than finding the only best one. No one can make perfect decisions all the time. All we can do is to make a right decision by using the information we have at the time.
· For people with bias, the most important thing is to know that everyone has a bias in the first place. To do this, we can think back to our past decisions. Asking for ideas from others also helps.
