One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early, so I stopped my car by a small park, and 1 for her.
When I looked out 2 the car window, I saw a little boy running happily on the grass as his mother watched nearby. He was about two years 3 . There was a big4 on his face. The boy then fell to the grass, and got up, without 5 at his mother. He ran as 6 as he could, and then fell to the grass again, but he still had a smile on his face. It seemed that nothing had happened.
At that time, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults doing this way?Most adults will be so embarrassed(尴尬的) that they won't try again if 7 sees them fall. Or, after they fall, they will find a good excuse (借口) for 8 . "
However, for kids, when they fall down, they don't think they fail. They have not connected "falling down"with "failure". They allow themselves to 9 mistakes, and they never give up. They try again and again 10 they succeed.

You don't need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country mads in 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 are studying hard at your lessons , your parent s are always taking good care of you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you;when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your 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 more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

C、Because everything can be bought with money. D、Because only rich people have happiness.(4)、What is the best title for the passage? ____A、Life and success. B、Lucky life. C、Do something good to others. D、Happiness is for everyone.15. 阅读还原It's easy to tell someone good news, but what about bad news?Are there any good ways to give bad news that doesn't make people too sad?
