     Everyone is seeking happiness,but there is no specific definition about what happiness is,because for
different people,happiness means different things.State of happiness comes when you feel great joy and
satisfaction in life.The unity of soul and mind is very important for getting happiness,because mind creates a
comfortable environment for the soul.And mind has the power to control human actions and feelings.
     The essence of happiness lies in the fact that you do what brings you pleasure.It's very simple.A person
has a builtin system,an analogue (模拟的)GPS (Global Positioning System).GPS is a piece of equipment
that is most often put in cars,and shows the route from its present location to the destination.Here's how it
works.You get in your car,choose a destination,and specify an exact address.GPS immediately determines
the best route and the arrow shows the direction of the route.If you follow the instructions of GPS all the
time,you will arrive at your destination.If you do not follow the instructions,it will say "change the route".
     So here's your 'GPS';it is your emotional system.When you feel joy,you're going the right way to a
happy life.When you feel sad and depressed,you're going in the wrong direction.Your 'GPS' says:"Change
the route."Some people are so used to this "change the route" that they in general no longer hear the
'GPS'.Change the route-it's your dissatisfaction,negative emotions and a sense of unhappiness.
     Listen to your GPS.If the way is chosen incorrectly,your 'GPS' would tell you to "change the route".
To gain your happiness,do follow your 'GPS'.

  Halloween is a festival (节日) celebrated on October 31st. The name of the holiday means“hallowed”or“holy evening”because it happens the day before All Saints Day (万圣节) . It is said that Halloween is the children's New Year's Eve. They dress up with special costumes(服装), they eat too much, and stay up too late celebrating.

  Children go around the neighborhood wearing make-up, and dress in masks(面具) and colorful costumes. The most common costumes are witches, ghosts, skeletons (骷髅) , and popular TV, movie, and storybook characters. Some costumes are homemade; others are bought in stores. The children go from door to door saying“trick or treat”. People give them candy, cookies, fruit or money. Sometimes money is collected to help UNICEF, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

  Homes, stores, and classrooms are decorated (装饰) in the traditional Halloween colours, orange and black. Usual decorations are witches, ghosts, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns.

  Adults and older children also celebrate Halloween with parades (游行), festivals, and costume parties. Some people create their costumes; other people rent them.

Having divorced (离婚) my dad, my mom had to move frequently in order to find a job that would provide her with enough money to support the big family. For three years, we lived in the town of Parkersburg. On the first Christmas there, my brothers and I had been well prepared for a holiday without presents. But we had a surprise on Christmas Eve.
At midnight, we were woken up by someone shouting at our front door, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!” We jumped up and ran to the door to find no one there, but several boxes and bags! Not only were there gifts, which were our favorite, but there were also clothes and food. Each of us kids, as well as Mom, had gifts with our names on them. And the clothes all fit us!
Another year went by and on Christmas Eve, we again got boxes and bags full of goodies. The next year we moved. We were in the same town but across the other side. Mom was beginning to get on her feet. Since we had moved and Mom had a better job, we were quite certain that “Santa” wouldn’t visit us that year. But we were wrong!
Those “Santa” visits restored in me the belief in the goodness of mankind, though to this day we don’t know who our helper was.
When we grew up, Mom moved to Virginia. She had some extra money one Christmas. She sent it to me and let us know her decision. We then took action. My husband and children had so much fun buying and wrapping presents for the needy family we had chosen. On Christmas Eve, we allowed the excited kids to stay up late to be part of our secret “Santa” project.
Such satisfaction there was in being able to pass on the gift of love to others who needed it. And the gift goes on!

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.As Christmas drew nearer,her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade,or so we thought.We bought the latest rages,Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls,and a doll house.Then,much to our surprise。on December 23rd,she said that she“really wanted a bike more than anything else”.
It was just too late,what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts,to take the time to select the“right bike”for our little girl.So here we were---Christmas Eve around 9:00 P.M,with Almie and her six-year-old brother,Dylan,nested snug in their beds.Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked.“This is an expensive item and she is‘such a big girl’,and it would be much better for her to pick it out.”So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike.
On Christmas morning,we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note.Finally,she opened it and read the note aloud.“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming,I said,“Yes.”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied.“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”At that moment,we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

   When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine. "Where did it come from?" I asked.

    "I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but-such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…" The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the, tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.  "It's not like the one you used to find." my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的)."

    "Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect." It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
