Tom finished school last year．He went to a big city to 1 a job．He went from one company(公司)to another but 2 wanted him．He had to go back to his small town．When he came to the train station, he felt 3 and tired．It was late at night, and the 4 was full of people．Many were waiting to 5 train tickets．When he bought the last ticket, he saw a woman 6 a crying baby．He gave them his ticket．He thought they needed it more than he did．After 7 left, he sat on the bench(长椅)and didn’t know 8 to go．Just then, an old man came to him, “Young man, I 9 what you did for the woman．I need your help．I have a company and I need a good young man like 10 ．Would you like to come to my company?”
A long time ago, Roman(罗马)soldiers came to make war to Scotland(苏格兰)．The scots(苏格兰人) 1 their country very much．They fought hard against their enemy, but there were too 2 of the Romans．It looked as if the Romans would win．
One night, the leader od Scots took his 3 to the top of a hill．“We will rest here tonight, my men,”he said,“Tomorrow we will fight against the Romans again．We 4 win or we will die．”
They were all very 5 , so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep．There were only four guards on duty, but they were very tired,
too, and one by one, also 6 ．
The Romans were not asleep．Quickly they arrived at the 7 of the hill．Slowly they climbed up the hillside． 8 they came to the sleeping Scots．They were almost at the top．A few minutes more, the war would be 9 ．Suddenly one of them put his foot on a tistle(一种叶子带刺的野生植物)．He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots．In a minute, the Scots were all ready to fight．They fought very bravely and won in the end．
The thistle is not a beautiful plant．It has shape needles(针)all over it．Few people like it． 10 the people of Scotsland liked it so much that they made it their national flower．

Will you be happy if you have a new Nike T-shirt on?Probably you will．But what if you see a friend 1 a more fashionable(时髦的)and more beautiful one?You may not feel as satisfied 2 you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute．
Why are we not so happy what we should be? To secret is：we focus on(专注)what we want instead of what we have．We keep making OUr list of desires(愿望)longer and longer．As a result, we are not pleased with what we have 3 owned．We say to ourselves,“I’ll be happy when this desire is satisfied．”However, another desire appears when this one is met．So．we still don’t feel happy though we have got what we want．Happiness 4 when we always have new desires hard to satisfy．
Luckily．there is a way to be happy．Think about what we have than what we want．Rather than wish you were 5 to have an enioyable vacation on the beach．think of 6 fun you have had
at home．Similarly, instead of hating to do much homework, 7 teachers for making you have the chance to practice mole．The list of what you have can also be endless．Each time you find yourself falling into“I wish life well different”trap(陷阱), take a deep breath and think of 8 you have even had．
Pay attention to what you have, and you’ll probably get more of what you want． 9 example, your good attitude toward doing homework can bring exeeUent grades in exanlt8 because 10 makes perfect．
Start to focus on what we have!The more we feel satisfied．the more happily we’ll live．

The need to give up
Two friends visited the zoo together．The zoo was very 1 and it was impossible to go everywhere．They had to 2 where and which animal to visit as their time was limited(限定)．So both of them agreed not to go back 3 choosing a branch road at every crossing．
A road sign at the first crossing showed one way to 4 quarters and the other to tiger hill．They decided on the former after a 5 discussion because lions were“the king of the grassland．”The second 6 a division going separately to the panda and the peacock．They chose panda as it was the nation’s treasure, so they 7 its way．Thus they made choices all 8 the way and each choice meant giving up so that they couldn’t help regretting．But they had to make it, and immediately．If they couldn’t, they would 9 more．Only rapid decision could offer more 10 for sightseeing and reduce(减少)possible regret．
Life is more or less like this－choices often appear that one has to choose, for example, between two desirable(合意的)jobs, two fascinating universities．To get one you have to give up the other－you can 11 get half of it．If you spend time weighing the pros and cons and thinking about gains and losses, you will most likely 12 with empty hands．Don’t be sad about it．At least you have got half of the desirable things in life－something that is hard to come by．
