Happiness is important for everyone．Most people want to be happy, 1 few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone 2 lasting happiness．Happiness depends on ourselves．In other words, we make 3 own happiness．Here are 4 ways to help you to be happier．
5 secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often, we spend so much time 6 about the future－for example, getting into college or getting a good job－that we fail to enjoy the 7 ．You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as 8 a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends tend to live happier and healthier lives．
The second secret to leading a happy life is to be 9 Many people experience this dancing, or play a sport．You can forget about your problems, and 10 think about the activity．
Finally, many people find happiness in helping 11 ．According to studies, people feel good 12 they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people．If you want to feel happier, do 13 for someone．You can help a friend 14 his or her studies, go shopping to get food for 15 old neighbor, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．

SARS teaches people to be thankful．Many doctors and nurses 5 all their time with people who have SARS, and 6 of them have lost their lives．Another student says he wants to be a 7 when he grows up．“Though they know their job is 8 , doctors and nurses are trying their best to 9 people’s lives．We must 10 them．” he said．SARS also 11 people to understand the trouble of others．The past few months have been 12 for Chinese people．But there are some other worse things than SARS in the world, such as war and so on．Think of how the 13 felt on Sept．11, 2001．
