短文属于议论文。作者根据自己的切身体会，诠释了幸福的含义：幸福不在于失去或者得到什么，而在于珍惜你所拥有的。
1.根据下一句“”可知车祸中撞了腿。
2.根据上下文，这里应该是想像没有腿的日子。
3.前后作者的心情有明显的转折，使用but。
4.作者已经意识到面对现实，所以她不再浪费生命。
5.腿受伤时间不长，仍旧在医院。
6.这里是接受现实的意思。
7.后面列举的两件事（车晚点和没考好）是让人心烦的事，故用worried。
8.因为句前有but，意思有所转折，选择表示心情好的词。
9.与and后面的“takepleasureinwhatyouhave”相对应，这里指不再拥有的东西。
10.后面一段说明了原因，因此这里选择why。
11.根据后面的“whenyougetthe”可知，这里强调的是“达到，赢得”。
12.跟据上句的“if Ihadanewcar”可知。
13.这里指的是心情：不快乐。
14.根据上下文可知 ：幸福不是发生什么，而是心里的状态。
15.跟上句对应，相对来说，不拥有什么，也充满快乐。
