Do you still remember the happy time in your childhood? At that time, our parents often played with us, they were the closest people to you in the world. However, as we grow up, many teenagers like you have trouble     16     with their parents. They always complain that their parents say     17     instead of listening to what they’re thinking. When they do something wrong, getting away from parents seems to be the only     18    .

In fact what your parents do just shows love for you. They love you more than they love     19    . Whenever you need help, they are always there, standing by you. Try to put yourself into their shoes, and you’ll understand them     20    .

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 in 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 a bit of 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 be 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 door. When it turns, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aeroplane before and he had read a lot about air accidents, so one day when a friend offered (提供) to take him for a r    47     in his own small plane, Mr. Johnson was very w    48     about accepting. Finally, however, his friend persuaded (劝说) him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson got on the plane.

His friend s    49     the engine and began to get onto the runway of the airport. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most d    50     part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was very frightened and closed his eyes.

After a minute or two he opened them a    51    , looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, “Look at those people down there. They look as s    52     as ants, don’t they?”

I was very nervous as I waited to interview one of the most successful women of our times: Kathy Howe. I was just a young reporter and she was not only a popular singer but also a famous actress, starting in many movies.

As soon as the door opened, however, a lady appeared, I immediately relaxed. She looked great, with her kind brown eyes, her excellent black hair, and her beautiful smile. I looked for bags under her eyes, but there were none. “How do you manage to look so good and live life in the fast lane at the same time?” I asked her.

She laughed, and her whole face shone. “It’s tiring to be famous. You have to work hard, be on time and take care of yourself. Also, you have to go to Hollywood parties, be taken photos for magazines, and give interviews”

As we talked, I found out that Kathy is a very warm and kind person, and that her family is more important to her than being a star. At the same time, she wants to do everything as well as she can, so she can sometimes seem to be hard.

When I asked her if she thought of herself as lucky, she didn’t answer immediately. Then she said, “Well, perhaps I’m lucky, but I also work very hard, and being famous has weak points, too. In fact, I’ve missed out on lots of things I really enjoy doing, like spending time with my daughter.”

I felt sad when it was time to leave, as Kathy is a wonderful woman. I have never met anyone else who has such a busy life, and still manages to look so beautiful.
