7．A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world．The boy walked a long way，and finally came upon a beautiful castle where the wise man lived．
Rather than finding a holy man，though，our hero，on entering the main room of the castle，saw a hive of activity：tradesmen came and went，people were chatting in the corners and a small orchestra was playing soft music．The wise man talked with everyone，and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn．
The wise man listened carefully to the boy's explanation of why he had come，but told him that he didn't have time just then to explain the secret of happiness．He suggested the boy look around the palace and return in two hours．
"Meanwhile，I want to ask you to do something，"said the wise man，handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil．"As you wander around，carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill"．
The boy began to walk up and down stairs in the palace，keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon．After two hours，he returned．
"Well，"asked the wise man，"Did you see the Persian tapestries （波斯织锦） hanging in my dining hall？Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener 10years to create？"
The boy was embarrassed，and replied that he had observed nothing．His only concern had been not to spill the oil．
"Then go back and observe the wonderful things of my world，"said the wise man．
Then the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace，this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls．He saw the gardens and the mountains all around him．When he returned，he described in detail everything he had seen．
"But where are the drops of oil I gave to you？"asked the wise man．Looking down at the spoon he held，the boy saw that the oil was gone．
"Well，there is only one piece of advice I can give you，"said the wise man．"The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon．"

5．Last summer，when Amanda R of Anaheim Hills，California，was running on a cross-country course with her team，she blacked out．"I got really dizzy，"she says．"I was out for a few minutes．"At first，Amanda thought she was just tired and didn't think she had a health problem．She did go to the emergency room，where she was fine after tests，but she fainted （昏厥） again several days later as she was talking with her coach．Another doctor guessed that Amanda had blacked out"because we were in heat so much with not enough water and not enough of the right kind of foods"．
Teens often don't want to stop and take a break or don't notice when they start to feel bad，doctors say．However，paying attention if you're not feeling well is important，as Amanda learned．

When asked why he didn't return the books，Mr．Brush said，"Well，how could I？They became family to me．I was afraid to return them，because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up，throw them around，rip the pages，spill soda on them，get jam and jelly on them，and drown them in the toilet．"
He continued，"Books are people，too!They talk to you，they take care of you，and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love．A book is my guest in my home．How could I kick it out？I repaired torn pages．I dusted them with a soft clean cloth．I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air．
"Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends．My books were HAPPY books．You could tell just by looking at them．Now they're all back in the library，on the lower shelves，on the floors，at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids．I can hear them calling me!I need to rescue them．Excuse me．I have to go now．"

1．It was Molly's job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work．
One morning，in addition to his usual lunch bag，Molly handed him a second paper bag．This one was worn and held together with staples（书钉）．
"Why two bags？"her father asked．"The other is something else，"Molly answered．"What's in it？""Just some stuff（东西）．Take it with you．"
Not wanting to discuss the matter，he put both sacks into his briefcase，kissed Molly and rushed off．At midday he opened Molly's bag and took out the contents：two hair ribbons（丝带），three small stones，a plastic dinosaur，a tiny sea shell，a small doll，and 13pennies…The busy father smiled，finished eating，and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket，Molly's stuff included．
That evening，Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper．"Where's my bag？""What bag？""The one I gave you this morning．""I left it at the office．Why？""I forgot to put this note in it，"she said．"And，besides，Daddy，the things in the sack are the things I really like-I thought you might like to play with them．You didn't lose the bag，did you，Daddy？""Oh，no，"he said，lying．"I just forgot to bring it home．I'll bring it tomorrow．"While Molly hugged her father's neck，he unfolded the note that read："I love you，Daddy．"Molly had given him her treasures-all that a 7-year-old held．
Love in a paper bag，and he missed it-not only missed it，but had thrown it in the wastebasket．So back he went to the office．Just ahead of the night janitor（看门人），he picked up the wastebasket．He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully．The bag didn't look so good，but the stuff was all there and that's what counted．
After dinner，he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack．It took a long time to tell．Everything had a story or a memory．
"Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life，"he thought．
We should all remember that it's not the destination that counts in life，but the journey．That journey with the people we love is all that really matters．It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten．
