Being happy means having a feeling of pleasure, for example, something good has happened to you or you are very satisfied with your life. Usually, many people find happiness from their work, family and their friends, but many also find happiness from some kinds of material things, or even spiritual(精神的) things.

Being happy is good for your life. You’ll feel healthy both physically and emotionally. It also can increase your self-confidence, and make you enjoy your life better. Indirectly, your happiness can infect(感染)others. So you should try to feel happy most of the time in your life. And here are some ways that can lead you to the path of happiness.

As soon as you wake up, think about something that can make you smile. It can be anything, such as a funny incident yesterday or jokes from your friends. It’s a good beginning to start your day.

Be a person who can manage his or her feelings. Maybe you’ll have a good or bad feeling at any given moment, but what you need to realize is that it is just a feeling, and you have the power to change it. So, if you’re feeling bad, find the right way to stop the feeling as soon as possible.

Be a person who is easy to forgive (原谅). Often you’ll feel angry with someone at something, but when you forgive him or her, you’ll be able to forget it and feel less stressed.

Remember the good things in your life and appreciate them. You certainly have a lot of good things in your life, and you need to remember them to increase your love for your life.

How hard we have all prayed(祈祷) to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.

At last, you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you “young lady”. You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you-this young lady-heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say; “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already.”

“No”, they say, “your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend, it won’t do you any good.” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.”

“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest.” To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, “Such a big girl can’t do such easy work.” You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can’t help it. That’s the way it goes!

I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2010 for not being happy with my current job and financial status. I got my Associate (大专毕业证书) in May 2002 in commercial art. After graduation, I had trouble getting a job in that field. For years, I was going from one job to another, and I was not satisfied with unstableness (不稳定).

I decided to go back to school to study either international business or psychology (心理学). I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and psychology won. I like helping my friends and family. When they are faced with hard situations in their life, I’d like to give them sound advice and be honest with them. Also, I was interested in the “mind”.

I searched for online schools because my work schedule would not allow me to study in a classroom. I was nervous about taking online classes because I had heard mixed stories from my friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different. I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and believable. While I was doing the online search, I discovered Walden University, which is specially for working adults who want to have a bachelor’s degree or higher. The process of getting accepted was easy, i.e. writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, sending my previous credits (以前的成绩), etc.

I am currently enrolled in the bachelor’s program for psychology, and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans (贷款). This experience has been interesting and yet upsetting as sometimes it was difficult to balance work, school and home life. I have learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events, relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I have improved my English composition and it has made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally. Now I am a freelancer (自由撰稿人) and I am only three classes away from getting my bachelor’s degree in psychology. It is one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

1.What did the author study in the first place when he was in college?

A. Psychology.

B. Commercial art.

C. International business.

D. English composition.

2. What does the underlined part “pros and cons” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Education of a university.

B. Suggestions and conditions.

C. Advantages and disadvantages.

D. Difficulty that may appear.

3.Why was the author nervous about taking online classes?

A. Some of his friends didn’t think highly of the classes.

B. He felt that he had not enough time to study.

C. The college entrance exam is very difficult.

D. He was afraid that he could not afford the online classes.

4.We can know from the passage that the author _____.

A. was unable to find a full-time job

B. is most interested in psychology

C. prefers to make a living by writing

D. paid his schooling by working hard
