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 on the country roads at 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 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 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 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 ) door. . When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. Happiness is for_________ .

In the modern world, ads are everywhere! Some people think that ads are great. Others hate ads, saying that they make our cities and countryside look ugly. Some young people see more than 100 ads a day. It’s true that some ads can be very useful. For example, they can help you to compare two different products so that you can buy the one you really need. They can also help you save money. When prices are listed, you can go to the store with the lowest price. Ads also tell you when stores are having sales. However , some ads can be confusing(混肴的 ) or misleading（误导的）. Sometimes the words sound good but don’t really tell you anything about the quality of the product. At other times, the picture in an ad looks a lot better than the real thing. And you have to be careful. At times an ad can lead you to buy something you don’t need at all.

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.
You do not have to be spineless (优柔寡断的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正当行为). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.
You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心丧气的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点) and have to fight against them.
At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.
| A．work hard at everything we do |
| B．enjoy the best share of everything |
| C．look for treasure in order to be successful |
| D．pay more attention to their strong points |
If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to __________.
| A．be polite and friendly |
| B．give up some rights |
| C．get away arguing with other people |
| D．be ready to change his or her character |
There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she __________.
| A．is modest and generous |
| B．is selfish and lazy |
| C．does not draw a lesson from his or her own fault |
| D．is very happy with unpleasant quality |
The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to __________.
| A．train you to be perfect |
| B．show you the way to be happy |
| C．tell you how to act when you dislike a person |
| D．teach you how to be popular among your friends |
