Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.
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 don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!
6.The underlined word “wealthy” means “[INPUT]” in the article.
A. pleased ???????B. healthy C. excited ??????? D. rich

A. get money and something they can’t buy with money
B. do what they want to do at any time
C. enjoy health which makes them work hard
D. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day
8.The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people[INPUT].

to achievewritten(to) spreadspokenVocabulary Exercises知识点二 English was once spoken only by people in a part of Britain. But
during the twentieth century, it became a world language -- a language used by speakers of many different languages to communicate with
each other.
Although it is called a “world language”, more than five billion people
-- most of the people on the earth -- do not speak English as either their first or second language. However, hundreds of millions of people use it, and hundreds of millions are learning it.Reading Exercises知识点二 Because so many people learn and use English, it may be hard to
imagine that one day English may not be the world' s leading language. Remember that were other important languages in the past which lost
their importance or even disappeared. In Europe, Latin was used as a
common language for many centuries before people stopped using it.
French was once a language known by all well -- educated people, and
was more popular than English. But since the nineteenth century, English
has become more popular than French.
Today, many people who want to learn a new language are learning
Chinese, Spanish or Arabic. It may be that, one day, instead of English,
another language will be used across the world.Reading Exercises知识点二Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
