第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail (未能) to enjoy the present. We should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends tend (往往会) to live happier and healthier lives.
The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping other people. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If we want to feel happier, we should do something nice for someone.
Happiness is of great importance for everyone and we should make happiness by ourselves.
根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail (未能) to enjoy the present. We should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to our favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends tend (往往会) to live happier and healthier lives.
The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping other people. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If we want to feel happier, we should do something nice for someone.
Happiness is of great importance for everyone and we should make happiness by ourselves.
