We are bothered that the kids aren’t old enough but we’ll be more 1 when they are．After that we’re 2 that we have teenagers to deal with．We will 3 be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be 4 when our spouse（配偶）gets his or her act together, when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we 5 ．The truth is，there’s no better time than 6 ．If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with 7 ．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy 8 ．
One of my 9 quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said “for a long time it had Seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life．But there was always some 10 in the way, something to be 11 first, some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．’’
Then life would begin．12 ，it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．This perspective has helped me to see that there is no 13 to happiness．Happiness is the way．So 14 every moment that you have．
And remember that 15 waits for no one．So 16 waiting until you finish schoo1．until you go back to school；until you get married，until you get 17 ；until you have kids；until you retire；until you get a new car or home；until spring；Until you are 18 again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy．
Happiness is a journey，not a（n） 19 ．So，work like you don’t need money，love like you’ve never been hurt, 20 dance like no one’s watching．

查看习题详情和答案>>Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.
The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26—funded with £2.5 million of taxpayers’ money—was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.
The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached. 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost £470 million.
One theatre source criticised the Government’s priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this. The Yong Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”
There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”
Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.
Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’s ‘not for them’. It’s time to change this perception.”
Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”
