    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 (迷人的) and
help you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems
easier to handle.
    No matte 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 (信心). 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 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.

      I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. The job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. I
have seen wars, poverty and death, but I have also seen courage (勇气), hope and happiness.
      In India, I saw many homeless children. Some were as young as four year old. They lived in the streets
begging (乞讨) or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year she
was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.
      Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. I found an old lady whose house was broke down.
Her son was missing and people said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the lady did not give up
hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time. She did not stop until she found her son. He was
alive.
      Here in China, I was surprised when I met a young boy who had had twenty operations and spent nearly his
whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.
      In life, we need models that we can learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and
goodness of these three people.

(     ) 1. The underlined word "poverty" probably means the state of being poor.
(     ) 2. A man was looking after two hundred children.
(     ) 3. The old lady's son was saved by some people.
(     ) 4. The speaker was surprised while meeting the sick boy because he was in hospital all his life.
(     ) 5. The main purpose of the speaker is to ask people to live with hope and courage.

      Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large
gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those
who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk to the country roads in
their free time.
      In fact. Happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school,
your friends will help you: when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of
your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do
something wrong, people around you feel unhappy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them,
you can see that happiness is always around you.
      Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you
are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with
difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战)
yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a
revolving (旋转的) door. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
