Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.

Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.

It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little

bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don' t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”

“Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy.” said the spider.

Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.

The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.

“I'm happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.

So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?”

“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.

“What is your dream?”

“To produce sweet fruit.”

The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.

Do you play King of Glory (《王者荣耀》)? If so, do you like the game? Why or why not?

Li Ming is a 13-year-old student in Shanghai. Since last May, he has spent most of his spare time on King of Glory. “Every boy in my class is playing it,” he said. “Good players are respected.”

King of Glory has been a very popular mobile game in China. It has had 50 million daily users. Unlike other games, King of Glory names all of its characters after figures (人物) from China’s history. “All of them look very cool,” said Li. His favorite hero is Jing Ke. “She’s very pretty,” the boy added.

Yes, you read right. The real Jing Ke was a man. In the game, however, he has been turned into a woman. Jing Ke is not alone. Li Bai, as we know, was a famous poet. In the game, his job is to kill the others. China’s first known physician (医师), Bian Que, meanwhile, doesn’t just cure people. He also poisons his enemies.

This has caused a hot debate (争论). Some parents are worried that the game may mislead (误导) their children. An article also criticized (批评) the game rewrote China’s history.

Others, however, are less worried. They think a game is a game.

The real problem, perhaps, is that there is no game rating system (评价制度) in China. King of Glory is designed for people over 16 years of age. According to a survey, however, more than 30 percent of the players are in primary or middle school. They are too young to tell the differences between fact and fiction (虚构). If Tecent (腾讯), the game’s developer, could do something about this, the problem might soon be over.

D.Some people think it is more popular among the young.

4.According to the article, how does the author think the problem can be solved?
