When I was in college, my mother gave me some wise advice.She said, “Before you get    1    (marry)and live with another person, you need to spend some time living by yourself. You need to get to know yourself. ”

So I did    2    (exact)that. For almost two years, I lived by    3    (I)．I found that I love to spend hours looking around in bookstores. I also love to spend an afternoon just walking around the city．

But, of course, not everyone enjoys the same things．A simple pleasure for me would be to spend an hour reading a book in my backyard. However, that same activity would give my husband no pleasure. We are all so    4    (difference)．

Sometimes, we already know    5    makes us happy. However, as life gets    6    (busy)and we get older, we put aside our simple pleasures.For example, I had to give    7    playing the flute(长笛)when I started working and had family responsibility since    8    (play)my flute seemed selfish when no one else in my family could participate．

Our simple pleasures are unique．    9    (activity)that give each of us joy are different．It isn’t always easy to live in a world in which we have to consider other people’s needs and opinions as well as our own，but enjoying simple pleasures is something    10    each of us deserves．
