Teaching aims and demands : 1. Enable students to know what is happiness. 2. Get students to know how to read an interview. 3. Students are expected to improve their reading skills and apply the skills to practical use.

Happiness is a form of courage. —H. Jackson (British writer) 幸福是勇气的一种形式。 —— 英国作家,杰克逊 ·H Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it. —George Sand (French woman writer) 幸福在于自知拥有幸福。 —— 法国女作家,乔治 · 桑 名言佳句 教材背景链接

What are things that make everyone happy? What are things that make everyone happy? There are some things in life that make us feel happy. For example, as a small child, something as simple as getting some sweets is enough to make him or her a happy child. As a student, passing an exam can make him or her feel on top of the world. For an adult, getting a great new job or traveling to different parts of the world is some of the happiest time. There are some things in life that make us feel happy. For example, as a small child, something as simple as getting some sweets is enough to make him or her a happy child. As a student, passing an exam can make him or her feel on top of the world. For an adult, getting a great new job or traveling to different parts of the world is some of the happiest time.

类文欣赏 Are you happy ? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today? Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact : people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.

Unfortunately , I believe that happiness evades ( 回避 ) many because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that , “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.” Or , “I’ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds.” And “I’ll be happy when the kids go back to school.” The list goes on and on.

This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes( 以 …… 为前提 ) that happiness is a “response” to having , being or doing something. In life , we all experience stimulus ( n. 刺激;激励 ) and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster , your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today , some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling : “ I’ll be happy when...”

It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy , we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy , we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response - rather , it is a stimulus.

Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reasons to me , many choose to be miserable , frustrated and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want - we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy. I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness : every day above ground is a good day. Therefore , I tend to have a lot of good days in succession( 连续不断地 ) .

Read the passage and tell the following sentences true (T) or false (F) . 1 . People can find a last source of happiness. 2 . We’ll be happy when we get something we want. 3 . Happiness is not a response but a stimulus. F F T
