There is a special kind of hotel in Quebec, Canada. It has a bar, a church, a shop and a small theater. These things are not unusual. But this hotel is only open from January till March every year. Why? Because it is made of ice and snow! When the weather gets warm, the hotel melts(融化) and closes. Every winter, the hotel owners build the hotel again.
Everything in the Ice Hotel is made of ice and snow. All the furniture, such as the tables and chairs, is made of ice. Even the beds are made of ice! So people use special sleeping bags on the ice beds. Inside the ice hotel, the temperature is about 27°F(-3°C)
When people sleep, the sleeping bags keep them warm. In the morning, they can have a hot breakfast. After breakfast, people can enjoy winter activities. They can go skiing or ice fishing. Or they can go skating in the dining room. At the end of the day, people can relax at the bar. They can have drinks in glasses made of ice.

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 people who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who has cars may want to walk on the country road 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 take lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and 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 see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It’s a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are 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 door, when it closes, it also opens.” If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.According to the passage, which of the following is happiness?
