Happiness is for everyone ,Why? You don’t need to care about the rich .They have big houses but they may often feel lonely because they have few friends to talk with, They have cars but they want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact ,Happiness is always around you. When you are in trouble , 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. All these are happiness.

When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else. Money can’t buy that. When you meet with problems, say loudly that you are happy , because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself.

If you get a chance ,take it and you can be a happy and lucky man.

    Everyone wants to be happy , but few people know how to find happiness, Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. I think we should make our happiness by ourselves, Here are some suggestions to help you be happier.

First, enjoy the simple things in life .Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future –for example , making much money or getting a good job—that we can’t enjoy the present, You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure ,such as reading a good book ,listening to your favorite music ,or spending time with close friends.

Second, be active. When people go dancing or have sports , they can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Third, help others. People feel good when they spend their time helping others .If you want to feel happier ,do good things for someone .You cam help a person with his or her studies, buy food for the old and so on.

Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night.  I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:

   “A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost unbearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand--sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation(不顾一切地)she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldnˈt stand it another minute and was coming home.

 Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father--just two lines:

  ‘Two men looked out  from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars.’

  The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维)but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post. She made friends with the natives,  learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it. The desert hadnˈt changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her  father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.”

   A change of attitude could change everything.

   After reading the article, I was deep in thought（陷入沉思）…

Friendship is something that everyone needs. Success is nothing without friends. You share life, happiness and sadness. A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.

   So what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control? Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?

   My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years. What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.

   This makes me think about what friendship really means. I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument, fight, or the sadness of life. We promised each other we'd always be friends, through thick and thin. We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren. We always laughed at every little thing.

   But then her grandfather passed away and suddenly our friendship was nothing. It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the interact. I was sad and hurt that she would post what I told her for other people to see. I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (发泄) her sadness, but I wish she'd kept everything between us.

   I don't understand why she broke our friendship, and I don't think I ever will. I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes. I hope that finally I'll find that a true friend who will always be there for me, I there for her.

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test.” he said, “And because I know you are all able to understand this material, I am ready to offer a “B” to anyone who would prefer not to take the test.”

   A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a “B”? This is your last chance.” Two more students decided to go.

   Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences which were written on the paper：Congratulations! You have received an “A”. Keep believing in yourself.

   I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are “B” students at most.

   The same is true for students in real life. The “A” students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both success and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from formal education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you realize that you have some limits. However, there is nothing you can’t do. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma said, “We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves.”

Iˈve loved my motherˈs desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair , looking at the ink bottle , pens , and white paper, I decided that the action of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. " But the desk . " she said again. "is for Elizabeth. "

  I never saw her angry , and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me ; she just did it. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf   opened between us. I was " too emotional（易感动的) " . But she lived " on the surface（表面) ".

As years passed, I had my own family. l loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（愿谅）me.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldnˈt be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

   But the present of her desk told me. as sheˈd never been able to. that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside— a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.

 "In any way you chose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. "

The Internet has become part of teenage(青少年) life. Thereˈs a report on 3, 375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 % of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit Web sites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.

In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet.Itgives useful advice such as itˈs good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend online, let your parents know.

Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens using the Internet and keep students away from bad sites.

One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.

A few months ago, I was telling my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My 

daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all 

I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.

One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t 

see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead,  now she was still watching over us 

and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding 

invisibly (看不见地) on the back of a butterfly (蝴蝶). Just after I said this, a butterfly 

flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.

Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny 

thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see 

butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mom, 

send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.

Everyone is always looking for some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in 

trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their 

eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many 

little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.
