Happiness is for everyone.You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses 21 large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? 22 those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their 23 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 24 you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get 25 , your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. When you do something good to others,you will feel happy, 26 . All these are your happiness. If you notice 27 of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same 28 money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy ,because you have something else that can’t be bought with money .When you meet difficulties, you can say 29 you are very happy ,because you have more chance to challenge yourself .So you cannot always say you are poor and you have 30 luck. As the old saying goes : “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens .”If you take every chance you meet ,you can be a happy and lucky person.

A little boy invited his mother to attend his school’s first teacher-parent meeting. To the little boy’s disappointment(失望), she said she would go. This would be the 16 time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he 17 lose his face because of her appearance. Although she was a 18 woman, there was a scar(疤痕) that covered nearly the whole right side of her face. The boy never wanted to 19 why or how she got the scar.
At the meeting, the people were 20 by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother even though she had the scar on her face, but the little boy was still embarrassed(尴尬) and hid himself from everyone. 21 , he happened to hear of a talk between his mother and his teacher.

At this point, the little boy came out running toward his mother with 29 in his eyes. He held her in his arms and felt a great sense of the sacrifice(牺牲) that his mother had made for him. He held her hand 30 for the rest of the day.

One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small 31 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make 32 body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.
So the boy 33 to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 34 .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole 35 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 36 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 37 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with 38 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 39 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 40 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.
41 struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be __42__ we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even 43 growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid 44 or problems. So, next time you are 45 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 1 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways 2 not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and 3 surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really 4 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I 5 joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I 6 won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a 7 artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the 8 I produced were not of a very high standard.
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 10 makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

The other day my daughter finally had a day off work. We decided to go out in the 16 for the time, together! It was an enjoyable experience. Then a surprising thing happened. She turned and asked, “Hey, Dad, can I 17 the boat?” I had a look of fear in my eyes 18 the boat can be driven at a very high speed and can be turned over very quickly. However, I gave the driving seat to her and began 19 her how to properly control the boat. I told her to remain calm as I had completely believed in her.
It can be both frightening and exciting when your child tries doing something, even if it’s a small thing, you still feel like they are growing up too fast and it’s out of your 20 . Time goes by so quickly, so it’s 21 to spend time with your kids, with your family. It is an amazing feeling to experience as their confidence grows.
In every situation if you relax, take your time, and show confidence, you will have a great 22 . We not only had a 23 morning on the boat, but also invited our little neighbour who is 8 years old and put him in the 24 right between us. As I drove at top speed, making sudden turns and jumping over the waves, all I could hear was my neighbour 25 and screaming at the top of his voice because he was having such a great time.

When I was young，my father told me that little acts of kindness may give one great happiness. Since then I have always tried to help people in 1 .
One hot summer afternoon, I was 2 down the highway to New York when another car suddenly 3 into my lane(车道). My car was in the far right lane，so it ran onto the roadside. As a(n) 4 driver，I moved my car quickly and skillfully back onto the highway without causing any accident.
I was 5 with that driver，but I thought that he just did not pay attention to（注意） the lane change, and he 6 did not do that on purpose(故意).The car ran away 7 after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared from sight. After a while，I came around a curve(弯道) and found the 8 car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He was an elderly man and looked 9 . As there was no telephone nearby and the nearest services were twenty miles away, I decided to 10 and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire(瘪胎). Although he had another tire，he had nothing to work with. I decided to 11 him. I changed the tire for him and allowed him to sit in my air-conditioned car while I did it. Fifteen minutes later，I 12 the work. I was hot and tired，but I really felt 13 after an act of kindness to the man who had earlier 14 my car run off the road.
You can really enjoy great 15 from kindness acts, so always lend your hands to others in trouble.
