(纯粹的) delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.

Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting
a new bike is unreserved.
For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 2_____ I can still feel the pain of
not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember the great happiness of
being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth, love, marriage-also bring responsibility and the risk of
loss. 3_____ For Mulls, happiness is complex.
4_____ But I think a better definition (定义) of happiness is "the ability to enjoy something". The more
we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It"s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and
being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn"t about
what happens to us; it"s the ability to find a positive for every negative (否定), and view a difficulty as a
challenge. 5_____
B. For a child, happiness has a magic quality.
C. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
D. Being happy doesn"t mean that everything is perfect.
E. The dictionary defines "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate".
F. It"s not wishing for what we don"t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
G. Suddenly it"s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity.

举一反三
You are enrolled in a full-time school called "life". Each day in this school you will have the opportunity
to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your
curriculum.
Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a
very long time. What we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning
of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else"s. As
you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order
to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a
key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.
As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don"t have to
face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don"t need to deal with. You may never
know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments
and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy
abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we
choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
The challenge here, therefore, is to align (与……保持一致) yourself with your own unique path by
learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime,
as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don"t compare your path
to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember
that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity-the assumption that all things are equal and that justice
will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others
around you, deserved or not. Everyone"s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her
own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the
comparing phrase of "it"s not fair". Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing
yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your
individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.
B. Taking the distinct path from others.
C. Learning the lessons presented to you.
D. Doing the different things from others.
B. the same thing usually happen to the peers
C. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems
D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
B. keep you from growth
C. limit your development
D. help you with your success
B. You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.
C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
D. The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school.
B. you have plenty of time to learn lessons
C. you meet with specific lessons every day
D. there are so many subjects for you to choose
Note that there is one word more than you need.
