Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with         and swimming pools or those who have nice cars         a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often         lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are  in         at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always         good care of your life and your health; when you get        , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to         it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel        , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always         you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are        , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to         yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it        , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Recently, binge（暴食）is becoming a major health problem in American.

“As soon as I came home I’d throw down my backpack and just start going though the refrigerator and start eating. Sandwiches, cookies, candy bars—I’d just continuously eat until I went to bed,” says Matt Wymer, 18. Matt was a binge eater.

    “You know we start at a very young age. You fall and hurt your knees. Your mother may say, ‘Oh, here, we’ll go to get some ice cream, that’ll make you feel better.’ Or when you go to the doctor, something bad happens: The doctor says, ‘Oh, here’s something that’s comforting’, and you get a candy,” says Marilyn Tanner, a doctor.

Matt looked for comfort because he was always laughed at because of his weight.

“There’d be days when I’d come and pick him up from school and he’d get in the car and start crying before I asked him anything,” says Cathy Wymer, Matt’s mother.

“I’d just feel better after I ate a lot,” says Matt.

Experts say the first step of treatment for binge eaters is to help them find other ways, besides food, to feel better. “There are about five basic ways: You write, you talk, you cry, you exercise or you laugh,” says Genie Burnett, a psychologist.

With the help of his doctor, Matt started a diet and a daily workout. He’s lost more than 150 pounds, he’s healthier and he says he’d be more confident.
