I recently overheard something that surprised me. I heard that people who win the lottery ( * * ) are__
21_for about 3 weeks. And then they go back to their__
22__state of being before they won the money.I__
23__that they would have been happy for a much longer time.

25__.The resulting feelings of happiness are often fleeting (飞逝的).We cannot__
26__them for very long.In some way,it may be a good thing.It reminds us that happiness really does come from within and is__
27__to us at any moment.True happiness has__
28__to do with what is happening outside;it is an inside job.Happiness is a__
29__.
We can make the decision to be happy for one day,when we__
30__in the morning,every morning.We can find something that brings us great __
31__,like sitting outside in the garden under an old tree and__
32__the birds sing,or watching the dog or cat play,and just__
33__the moment.It is our__
34__state and we need only allow it in.At any moment,we can__
35__,take a deep breath,and remember who we really are,and why we came here,and that truly is to__
36__joy and the aliveness of being.
“Happiness is like a butterfly which,when run after,is always __
37__our reach,but,if you will sit down___
38__,may fall upon you,” said Nathaniel Hawthorne,an American novelist.So,today,no matter what is going on in your own__
39__,stop and take a few moments to breathe deeply and just__
40__to be happy,whatever that means to you.
