When we think about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,a pinnacle(顶点)of delight. And those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
1 I remember playing policemen and robbers in the woods,getting a speaking part in the school
play. Of course,kids also experience lows,but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race
or getting a new bike is unreserved.
For teenagers,or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. 2 I can
still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also remember
the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth,love,marriage also bring
responsibility and the risk of loss. 3 For adults,happiness is complex.
4 But I think a better explanation of happiness is"the ability to enjoy something". The more we can
enjoy what we have,the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being
loved,the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,even good health.
While happiness may be more complex for us,the solution is the same as ever.
Happiness isn't about what happens to us；it's the ability to find a positive for every
negative,and view a difficulty as a challenge. 5
A. Love may not last；loved ones die.
B. For a child,happiness has a magic quality.
C. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life.
D. Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
E. The dictionary explains "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate".
F. It's not wishing for what we don't have,but enjoying what we do possess.
G. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love,and popularity.
