One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled(铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 【小题1】 .
Once I heard a bald(秃头的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room,  【小题2】  I see is hair." Once you've   【小题3】 what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will   【小题4】  make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different  【小题5】  , or forget about it and  【小题6】  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively  【小题7】  life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but  【小题8】  remain happy.
The first  【小题9】  is gratitude. All happy people are  【小题10】 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to  【小题11】  , but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret, is 【小题12】 that happiness is a byproduct(副产品) of something else. The most obvious 【小题13】 are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 【小题14】 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are  【小题15】 to experience.

Whatever your philosophy, it should 【小题18】  this truth: if you choose to find the 【小题19】 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is  【小题20】   your decision to make.

The audience starts to scream and young people all over Britain turn on their TVs. Yes, it’s Top of the Pops!

 Top of the Pops is an amazing 34 years old. Pop stars from all over the world appear on this successful TV programme. After 1,800 shows, it’s still the most popular pop music show in Britain. So what’s the secret?

 “We get lots of bands to perform live in the studio,” says producer Chris Cowey. “That just doesn’t happen on other shows.”

  Chris starts planning the programme over a week before it goes out. His first job is to decide which bands to have on the show. When the chart of the top twenty songs is produced on Sunday, Chris can start to book the bands.

 Monday starts with Chris meeting his sound, lighting and camera workers. They listen to each song and plan the show.

 Tuesday is paperwork day. There are bookings to make sure of letters to answer and lots of phone calls to make. The show is on Thursday. Bands arrive at the studio from 10 o’clock in the morning and start practising. Tonight’s presenter, Jo Whiley, practices too.

 First the bands go to make up. Judy and Issy are the make-up artists. “We see the stars with no make-up on, looking terrible,” says Issy. Then the bands go to the costume department where Marianne dresses the stars.

Back in the studio things are happening. The audience are practicing their dance moves! It takes over two hours to record the whole programme, then Chris edits it all night long. The final version is exactly 29 minutes long.
