Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood. When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him. His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tiger, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tiger waved its tail happily.

One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before he fell ill he wasn't happy. Happiness was "having the cookie". Only if you had the cookie could things be good.

Unluckily, the cookie kept changing. Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes fancy things.

A year and a half after his diagnosis(诊断) of cancer, he sits in my office shaking his head. "It's like I stopped learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It has taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long," he says, "The minute you have the cookie, you start to worry about someone trying to take it away from you."

My patient laughs and says cancer has changed him. For the first time he is happy. No matter if his business is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf. "Two years ago, cancer asked me, 'What is really important?' Well, life is important—life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness doesn't have anything to do with the cookie; it has something to do with being alive," he pauses thoughtfully, "I guess life is the cookie."

根据短文内容，完成下列小题。每题不多于5个词。

1.What was "the cookie" for the businessman before he fell ill?

______________

2.How does the patient's 2-year-old son feel when he gets a cookie?

_______________

3.What makes the patient change his mind to be happy?

______________

4.What question did the patient start to think about after he got cancer?

_______________

5.What does the patient think happiness is at present?

_______________
