Before I started school, people felt that I was not going to be successful．At the age of four I started speech lessons because I could not speak well enough for anyone to understand me.
The first grade was a struggle (掙扎)．I had difficulty speaking, I also couldn’t learn to read．The second grade was not much better．I still struggled with the inability to read．In the third grade a new school was built. It was near my home. I went there with my parents and helped to get the school ready so that we could move to the new one. However, things didn’t get better for the next two years.
It was in the fifth grade．Mrs．Wakefield was my teacher, and she was a good teacher．She did not make me feel unconfident. Instead, she did her best to let me know that I could be whatever I wanted to be．And that is just what I did．
For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher．Because of Mrs．Wakefield's influence on my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can deal with any difficulty successfully and become someone．I have won many awards(獎項) up to now, such as Teacher of the Year．I think I should thank my fifth grade teacher. She believed in me and helped me to be all that I could be．

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job -that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
小題1:The best title of the passage is      .
A．Money Makes You Happy
B．The Secrets of Happiness
C．Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy
D．Good Friends Make You Happy
小題2:The second paragraph tells us that      .
A．the more friends you have, the happier you will be
B．we shouldn't think about our future
C．happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D．some people fail to live a happy life

A．oneB．two
C．threeD．Four
小題4: The writer thinks that      .
A．everyone knows how to live a happier life
B．it's wrong to spend time on work
C．hobbies take up too much time
D．doing good things for someone can make you happier

Life is full of happiness and bitters. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads 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 study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. 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 you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋轉(zhuǎn)) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小題1:Happiness is for          ．
A．those who have large and beautiful houses
B．those who have cars
C．those who have lots of money
D．a(chǎn)ll people
小題2:When you do something wrong,          .
A．people around you will help you
B．you will have no chance to challenge yourself
C．your classmates will laugh at you
D．you will be happy

A．When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D．All of the above..

It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would        in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he        to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.
   I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒狀態(tài)). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”
Still feeling shy, I        not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we both knew that wasn’t     . Then he asked me with a smile        I was doing.
Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much       . I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage(勇氣) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I
   out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became       .
Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for       . If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”
What I learned that day        my whole life.
From then on, I began telling people how much I love them, care for them, and respect them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to        my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything I’m thankful to in my life.
