I entered a university after years of hard study. I thought my life would be full of happiness and knowledge. But my life in the university is not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑). I don’t know what my future would be like.

Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don’t want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.

I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream to join the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.

At last, I want to say to everybody, “Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dream may not be smooth and wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, you can find there is no greater happiness than making our dream come true.”

1.Why is the writer puzzled?

A. Because he is too young. B. Because he is lazy.

C. Because he doesn’t know how his future will be. D. Because he is silent.

Life is full of happiness and bitters（痛苦）. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bitter 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 (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

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．all people

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

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

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..

4.We say “Happiness is not the same as money.” because 　　　　　 .

A．money always brings happiness

B．money doesn’t always bring happiness

C．everything can be bought with money

D．only rich doesn’t always bring happiness
