say no. They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point
out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them,
himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't
think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier - a relative, a close
friend or, often, someone we even hardly know.I once met a young man who struck me as
particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their
daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host.I remember thinking he was one of
the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly we talked about the
Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information
on diabetes(糖尿病) - the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be
passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for
granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.
This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about
happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they
are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are
essentially we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally
remain iness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest
fault. As a bald man told me,
It is hard for us to give up the image of
can be unhappy* It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling
to be happy.

A. He is a TV talk show host.

B. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.
C. He loves his wife and their daughters.
D. He is very happy with his work and his life.

A. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter's life
B. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internet
C. how terribly the young man's wife suffer from the disease - diabetes

Kong
businessmen; it sold possible satellite broadcasting locations in space; it even officially
changed to a different time zone to be the first country to welcome the new millennium.
.Now Tonga's latest money-making venture is a plan to become the world center of space
tourism. The Tonga government has made an agreement with a US company to allow it to
use one of its 170 islands to launch rockets that will take tourists on week- long trips into
space at a cost of US$$2 million each.
For this price, space tourists receive 60 days' training in a
by the holiday of a lifetime orbiting the Earth. Two astronaut pilots and four astronaut tourists
will make the trip. However, sceptics say that these budgets are inadequate. Although they
predict that space tourism will eventually bring an income of US$$ 10-20 billion a year, they
calculate that the budget of$$8 million per trip will not be enough to pay for the required
technology.

Sample:
The Internet has become a symbol of modern society. For example, via the Internet, we
can send a message to a friend or a relative in a distant place within seconds; we can talk to
each other or even see each other; we can do shopping without going out; we can stay home
and do business with foreign fact, we can do many things more easily and
more cheaply using the Internet. So, I cannot imagine what society would be like without the
Internet.
