24、Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

"Where is Dad?” Andy checked all the rooms, but the whole house was e【2】. He walked out to the yard, and his jaw（下巴）dropped. Dad was holding a hammer and looking at a new tree fort（树堡）that stood in their big back yard.

Andy climbed the rope ladder（梯子）up to the fort. It had two rooms with three small w【3】.

Dad f【4】Andy into the fort, looking excited. "I spent all morning building it. I had one when I was at your age. Grandpa surprised me with it on Father's Day, too. "

"So, it's like a t【5】in our family?” Andy asked.

29、   The National Gallery in London has introduced an “art route” that people must follow round the gallery. Are set routes actually a better way to enjoy museums and galleries? Or should people be ________ to view exhibitions in any order they choose? What do you think-are set routes better?

Yes-people will get more from their visit

Experts spend years learning about the items in their museums and galleries. They know the best order in which people should see the exhibits, so that visitors can enjoy and learn about them. ________, if there was an exhibition of a painter, the works could be arranged to show visitors how their style developed through their career. If a person is on an art route, they won't ________ any important pictures, and will be guaranteed to see everything. The experience will be enjoyable for the visitor, and they will have their own space in which to appreciate great works.

No-freedom is part of the fun

Most exhibitions are already ________ in some kind of order. However, not everyone wants to look at the same things in the same way. Some visitors just want to enjoy a few pieces and then leave. Besides, if everyone follows the same route, some people might take a long time looking at one object and ________ everyone down. Equally, if a visitor wants to study something for more time, they may feel pressured by people behind them. One of the great joys of exhibitions is ________ noticing something.
