Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!
When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.
No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.
One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.
Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.
A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should get a good mark. You can't stop blaming(责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, "Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!" Your attitude makes a big difference.
Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?

Once there was an 1 between the colors. Each color thought it was the best and most important. So each color looked down upon others. Here are their debates.
Green said: “Clearly I am the most important. I am the 2 of life and hope. I’m the color of grass, trees and leaves. 3 me, all animals would die.”
Yellow laughed: “I bring happiness and warmth into the world. Every time people look at a yellow sunflower, they start to smile. Without me there 4 be no fun.”
Orange shouted: “I am the color of 5 and strength. I have the most important vitamins (维生素). Think of carrots, 6 and oranges. When I appear in the sky, everyone is shocked at my beauty and nobody gives another thought to any of you.”
Red could no 7 stand it, “I am the color of danger and bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood.”
Their voices 8 louder and louder. The thunder(雷) got angry and the rain started to pour. When they became calm, the rain said, “You foolish colors. Don’t you know that each of you is unique (独一无二)? If you don’t agree, just follow me.” They did as the rain told 9 and together made the most 10 rainbow (彩虹).
