Do you have many friends in this busy and noisy world? I think you can give me your answer without thinking for a minute. Friendship is so    31     that no one can live if he has no friends. One is happy to have a good friend to talk, laugh, and do some other things with. Everyone will feel   32   if he has no friends. Maybe you will say that sometimes friends quarrel(争吵）with each other, but it doesn’t matter. That doesn’t mean they no longer  33 each other. They will make up and become   34   again. If our friends go to another place, we will feel very sad. We   35   them very much, but we can    36    them or write to them. Maybe we will never see them   37    . And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out   38   we like new friends when we get to know them. There is more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who have no friends or have few friends. Why? Perhaps because they are    39   .Being happy helps you keep healthy. If you know someone cares about you, you    38    take better care of yourself. Do you think so?

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few ways 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 tend(有……打算) to live happier and healthier lives.

The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.
