| A woman I know stood on the bathroom scales (浴室磅秤) after two weeks of diet and hard exercise around the park. The needle was 1 , stuck on the number where she had started. This struck her as 2 of how things had been going lately. She was destined (注定) never to be happy. As she dressed, feeling her tight jeans, she 3 a ten-pound note in her pocket. Then her sister phoned with a 4 story. When she hurried out to the car-annoyed that she had to get petrol-she discovered her flat mate had already 5 the tank for her. And this was a woman who thought she'd 6 be happy. Every day, it seems, we're 7 with advice about happiness.

Coupled with this is the 9 that happiness is a permanent condition. If we are not joyful all the time, we 10 there's a problem. Yet what most people 11 is not a permanent state of happiness. It is something more ordinary, a 12 of what the American writer Hugh Prather once called "unsettled problem, ambiguous 13 and vague (不明确的) defeats with few moments of clear peace."

Now that you think about it. 16 , there a letter from an old friend, or a stranger who asked where you got such a good haircut? You remember having a bad day, yet those good moments 17 . So in my opinion, happiness is an 18 , not a condition. It's spending a pleasant hour organizing your closet. It is your family assembled at dinner. It's in the present not in the 19 promise of a "someday when…". How luckier we are and how much more happiness we experience-if we can fall in love with the life we are 20 . | ||||
