  I met Mrs Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,1        she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason,she was impressed with my work and me.

At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4        about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her 5      . It was cause and effect: she believed I had opinions,so I began to 6        them. She trusted me to complete things,so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7        I was,so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me,so I began to believe in myself.

 Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness?1.      The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

  Make a plan for achieving goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.

Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively (消极地) when you are surrounded by people who think that way.2.     

  When something goes wrong,try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people don’t allow setbacks (挫折) to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the things back to their favour.

  3.        These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.

  4.        Whether you treat yourself to lunch,take a long,relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance,you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.

  Finding the humour in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.

  Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.5.     

   A. What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.

   B. On the contrary,if you are around people who are happy,their emotional state will be easily passed to you.

   C. Being overweight or not eating foods containing nutrition has a negative effect on your mood.

   D. These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.

   E. Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.

   F. There are some tips in life that lead to happiness.

   G. It’s also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.

  Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

  I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 1        me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 2        for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 3        than tomorrow morning. ”

  My stepmother walked over to me,4        my head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are 5    . This is not the worst boy at all,6        the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm. ”

  That statement began a (n) 7      between us.  No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbours had built me up in my 8        as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

  She changed many things. She 9        my father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honours. She moved our family into the countryside,where my father’s career could be more 10        and my brothers and I could be better 11    .

  When I turned fourteen,she bought me a second-hand 12        and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm,I 13        it,and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 14        and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 15        that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the 16        beneficiary (受益者).My father became the 17        man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician,a dentist,a lawyer,and a college president.

  What power 18        has!When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 19        strengthened by faith,it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 20    .

You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
