Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good
to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转 ) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

“Stop making excuses for him,Mom,”I said.“But maybe he is feeling unwell...” Mom said.“Maybe nothing,” I interrupted. I had been tending Mom since her health began to decline and this would be the first time in a year that my husband and I had a night out together. Jerry had promised to stay with Mom. But again he let us down. And more often than not,his drinking had a lot to do with it. His irresponsibility upset me.
I remembered our happy growing-up years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education,Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Dad

died. Unlike him,I got over the sorrow soon,but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.
Jerry and I didn’t see each other often,but we talked on the phone. Usually,though,we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us,Jerry dropped in regularly at first,but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse,I thought.
One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically,”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you?” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change?” he asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But,you can,”he said gently.
Me?Why did I have to change?He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done?Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior,but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.
Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was,not as I wanted him to be.
25. Jerry got into the habit of drinking mainly because________.
A.he was influenced by bad guys B.his mom left to live with his sister
C.nobody cared for him after his father died D.he couldn’t get over the sadness of losing his father
26. The underlined word “sporadic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.occasional B.frequent C.formal D.unpleasant 27. What did the author think of the doctor’s suggestion at first?

A.Love can help a person give up bad habits. B.Too much tension will destroy a person’s health. C.We shouldn’t expect too much of a person. D.We should try to love a person as he is.
