What on earth does happiness mean? I can’t give you its exact definition, but I’m sure if you love and help 小题1: , you’ll get it.
I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives in 小题2: small house alone. It is said that her husband and her son 小题3: （die）in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, but she often helps others 小题4: a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of小题5: （laugh）and love.
But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk 小题6: （noisy）in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others’ shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, 小题7: they will never get true happiness because they 小题8: （lose）their personality already.
Now I know what happiness is. 小题9: means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that小题10: （bring）happiness to others is getting ourselves happiness.
小题1:others
小题2:a
小题3:died
小题4:with
小题5:laughter
小题6:noisily
小题7:but
小题8:have lost
小题9:It

题目分析：文章通过两个例子讨论了帮助别人可以使自己感到幸福，第一个例子是说一位孤独的老人常常帮助别人使自己很快乐；第二个例子是说那些常常毁坏公物，不尊重他人的人只得到一时的快乐而得不到真正的幸福。真正的幸福意味着善良，爱，无私。
小题1:此处是help的宾语，用others 其他人,句意是我确定如果你爱和帮助别人，你就会很幸福。
小题2:单数名词前用不定冠词a修饰，句意是她独自生活在一间小房子里。
小题3:由时间状语years ago可知是过去式，故用died.
小题4:with表示伴随，句意是她经常面带着微笑帮助别人。
小题5:laughter笑声，名词。句意是她的生活充满了笑声和爱。
小题6:副词修饰动词，故用noisily修饰talk。
小题7:前后句是转折关系故用but。句意是或许他们当时感到很幸福，但是他们将得不到真正的幸福。
小题8:描述过去事情对现在的影响要用现在完成时态，故用have lost.句意是他们得不到真正的幸福是因为他们已经失去了他们的人格。
小题9:it指代前面提到的happiness。
小题10:动名词作主语，句意是带给别人幸福就是我们自己幸福。
