5 . There are many differences between happy people and unhappy people.     1    ? Read the following list of things that happy people do differently from unhappy people and you will know the answer.

Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them.     2    .

Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for it. When something unpleasant happens to them, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this?     3    ? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.

They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”. They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life.     4    , because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.

    5    . They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.

A．How can I make this better

B．They have an ideal living and a balanced life

C．Happy people do things for the good of others

D．What are the things that happy people do differently

E．They are ready to hug whatever lies in front of them

F．They neither care others nor understand the power of love

G．Most of the time they get both successful life and meaning

7 . Many young people are getting creative when it comes to putting their interests into their professions.

Yi Cheng used to be an engineer at a state-owned company. In 2013, he became an owner of escape room games, where one has to find secret clues and passwords within physical spaces in order to get entry to the next room. His favorite challenge was to design different things and passwords for entry to the various secret rooms. Later he founded his own escape room company — Second World.

Now the brand has eight sites nationwide with stable income. It has attracted a large number of young consumers. During the May Day holiday break, the volume of booking for escape room games in Shanghai increased 264 percent over the preholiday level, according to Meituan Dianping, an online consumption service provider.

In recent years, those born in 1980 and 1990 have taken up 90% of the new jobs in China’s service sectors. The development of the internet economy, which refers to an economy that is based on the use of digital technologies to conduct business via the world wide web, is also broadening the ambitions and horizons of many young businessmen in China. Other groups of new professions, such as online restaurant decorators, pet photographs and owners of bed and breakfast homestays, have sprung up alongside digital transformation in China.

Internet-based platform Meituan Dianping attributed this rise to the increasing demand for personalization. Their report said, “The stereotype (刻板印象) of low education, low skills and low income that were linked to those in the service industry on the internet is being changed in new ways.”

8 . When I was in medical college, I went camping with some of my friends. The season was summer; therefore, we chose to go to the seaside. After arriving there, we rented a room and left our luggage there. We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.

We started to row, but about one mile out, the weather seemed to change. But we didn’t want to give up. After a while, the weather changed a lot. The waves got very high, and the boat began to shake. One of my friends started to cry; another started to vomit (呕吐). My friends and I agreed that we should go back.

We tried to change the boat’s direction, but as soon as we changed it, the oarlock (桨架) suddenly broke. Therefore, we were unable to turn back. We had to wait for help because we couldn’t do anything. Three hours passed, but nobody came to help us.

We shouldn’t have continued to row when the weather began to change, but it was too late. The only thing we could do was just praying. Fortunately, after five long hours of waiting, two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped. If they hadn’t come to get us, we would have lost our lives.

This story is the most exciting story of my life because we could have died, but luck was with us and we escaped.

10 . I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair (展销会) was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.

When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.

Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.

To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”

I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.
