71 You don’t need to admire 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 wan

t to walk on the country roads at their free time.
72 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 you; when you get success, people will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy. 73 If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. 74 _ 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 that you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的） door. 75 If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
A.All these are your happiness.
B.Without money, we can live a happy life.
C.Happiness is for everyone.
D.She has no chance to go to school.
E.It is a feeling of your heart.
F.You are happy when you help a helpless man.
G.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.

“I started going to clubs when I was nineteen. My friends went and they told me that I’d love it. They were right.” –Lara
Lara is a twenty-one-year old student who loves dancing. “At the moment, my favorite kind of music is acid jazz. I’d love to go to a Fatboy Slim or Ken Ishii gig. They’re so cool,” says Lara. Fatboy Slim and Ken Ishii are not pop stars—they are famous DJs. Being a DJ these days means more than playing records at a nightclub. DJs like Fatboy Slim have also produced a lot of successful CDs of their own music.
Nightclubs have been popular since the seventies but today’s clubs are different. They don’t usually open until at least 11 pm, and people often stay until 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning. Some clubbers will keep on dancing until 12 o’clock in the morning.
Why has dance music become so popular? Some people believe that clubs give young people what the hippies found in the sixties. They have somewhere to meet people just like them. Many clubbers say that dance music helps them to escape from their problems. They feel they are part of a big happy family. But most people just love to dance.
