According to the recent survey, only forty percent of children in our school feel happy．Why?Do you know what“happiness”means?A lot of money?No homework every day?High marks or anything else?
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heat into it．When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it．And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too．All these are happiness．If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you．All these can't be bought with money．It's a feeling of your heart．When you come across difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself．
As the saying goes, life is a revolving(旋转的)door．When it closes, it also opens．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person．

The Year of the Dog has gone and this year we have pigs．What words can we think of for pigs?Some bad words maybe, like silly, dirty, greedy(贪婪)…But, are these true?
When we see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or behind dirty fences．But pigs also want to be clean if they can．Pigs have no sweat glands(汗腺), SO they have to get cool in water when they feel hot．
If people are greedy, we say they“pig out”．Yes, pigs love eating a lot．But they are useful to people．People not only eat their meat．but also use other parts of pigs．Pig skin is used for glue and shoes．The hair can be used to make brushes．Sometimes, pigs are even used to make medicine．
“He is as silly as a pig!”This expression is wrong．Pigs are very smart animals．Among all animals．they are the third cleverest-monkeys, dolphins and pigs．Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats．Pigs have a very good sense of smell(嗅觉)．They can find things nearby or faraway．They can also help the police to－sniff－out drugs(毒品)at an airport or at a train station 1
