What is a happy life? To this question, different people have different 【小题1】 （answer）. I think my life is very happy.

At school, I’m not one of the b【小题2】 students, but I have many good friends. We study together and play together. In 【小题3】 （I）free time, I like to do some sports. And I’m good at jumping. In the last school sports meeting, I took part 【小题4】 the long jump. Before the event, I practiced hard. As a result, I became the 【小题5】 （win）of it. I was so proud（自豪的）of myself.

I have a happy family. We often go 【小题6】 （travel）during holidays. Last summer, we went to the mountains, It was my 【小题7】 （three）trip to the poor village. We 【小题8】 （bring）them some clothes and books. They were so pleased 【小题9】 thankful. I was happy because I did something good for others.

What’s more, I care for the environment. Since I was five years old, I have 【小题10】 （plant）over ten trees in my neighborhood. I think it is our duty to protect the environment.

In a word, doing what I should do and what I can do makes me happy.

One day a teacher walked into the classroom with a glass of water in her hand. Her students 【小题1】 (ask) to tell her the weight of the glass of water she was holding. They shouted out different answers.

【小题2】 a smile on her face, the teacher replied, “Actually, the exact weight of water doesn’t matter. It all 【小题3】 (depend) on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a few minutes, it’s quite light. If I hold it for an hour, 【小题4】 (it) weight might make my arm ache (疼痛). If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel very painful, forcing me 【小题5】 (drop) the glass to the floor. The weight of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the 【小题6】 (heavy) it feels to me.”

Seeing the surprised look on her students’ faces, she continued, “The things 【小题7】 make you feel stressed are just like this glass of water. Think about them for 【小题8】 while and nothing happens. Think about them a little longer and you begin to ache. Think about them all day long, and you will feel 【小题9】 (terrible) painful — unable to do anything else until you drop your problems and 【小题10】 (worry). If you still feel the weight of yesterday s stress, it’s time to put the ‘glass’ down.”

Many people go to school for education. School education is very important and useful, 【小题1】 no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how 【小题2】 he knows, cannot teach his students everything. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the 【小题3】 themselves.

It is always 【小题4】 important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas (公式) by heart. It is quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in math, but using a formula is not the 【小题5】 as learning it by heart.

Some great scientists, such as Newton, Edison and Einstein had something 【小题6】 common. They didn’t 【小题7】 a good job at school at the beginning, but they were all 【小题8】 later in their lives. 【小题9】 of the reasons for their success was that they knew how to study. They read many books outside school. They worked hard all the time. As 【小题10】 as you keep thinking, you can be a good learner and later you will have success too.
