　　We always seem to want those things we don't have．Moreover, we are often convinced(使相信)that if we had those things we want so badly, we would finally be happy．

　　The truth is that happiness is an attitude(态度)．is not something created by outside circumstances(环境), ________ instead is completely within your control．

　　Nothing will give you a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, unless you cultivate(滋养)happiness consciously．Below are some simple yet specific steps you can take to cultivate happiness．

　　Be grateful．

　　Create a sense of gratitude for what you have, for what is working, for what is wonderful and sweet in your life．A morning or evening gratitude list, written each day, can do wonders for helping you feel grateful．

　　Take care of yourself．

　　Identify(辨别)the small things in life that make you feel good, and do one daily．A short walk, a few minutes of writing in your journal, a short meditation, watching the sunset…whatever, will improve your outlook on life．

　　Read inspirational(励志的)material．

　　It helps to be reminded of positive thoughts and positive attitudes．Get a small book of positive, inspirational thoughts and keep it by your desk．Read one or two thoughts each day．

　　Is the glass half empty or full? Life works better when the glass is half full regardless of your life status．

　　No matter how many wonderful things you do to create a positive, happy, satisfied life, you could still end up unhappy．Ultimately, happiness, gratitude, a feeling of satisfaction is a choice．So, from now on, choose to be happy!

1．在划线出填入所缺单词：________　________

2．将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

3．找出同义句：We are sure if we can have the thing we want so much ,we will be very happy．

　　Happiness(幸福)is for everyone．You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large garden and swimming pool 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 on the country roads at their free time．

　　In fact, happiness is　always around you if you put your heart into it．When you have 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 will help you to correct it．And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too．All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them, you can find 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 else what 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 can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door．When it closes, it also opens．If you take every chance you get, you can't be a happy and lucky person．

1．Where is happiness?

2．What do we feel if we do something good to others?

3．Why can we say we are happy when we meet with difficulties?
