Do you have any problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy ? If so, you will find Being a Happy Teenager written by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews.
In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. There are many subjects, such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and should forgive (宽恕). The book tells us some useful ways, such as how to understand better what you learned. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise(表扬) from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.
Success comes from a good attitude (态度). If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school students have problems, such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us that happiness comes from thinking in a positive (积极的) way. If you are tall, you can get a better view(视线)when you see a film; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’ most important lesson: “ You choose to be happy!”

3.According to the paragraph 2 , where does happiness come from to many teenagers ?

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
