    　　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get．

    　　For kids, happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)．

    　　In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．

    　　In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)

    　　My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even goo health．

    　　I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love．When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．

    　　Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her．

    　　We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have．We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier

    　　Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．

    任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

    阅读下面文章，根据语篇内容，用恰当的词完成题后表格中所缺单词。(每格限填一词)

    Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.

    Make Your Mama Proud

    　　What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.

    　　What's Her Favorite?

    　　Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.

    　　The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.

    　　The Memories

    　　Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.

    　　Be Her

    　　What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.

    　　Treat a Queen

    　　Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.

    　　Make-Over Beauty

    　　Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.

    　　Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!

    　　Have Some of Your Time

    　　It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.

    　　Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?

    Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?
