They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself.

第二节摘录要点（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，然后在文后表格内完成内容摘要。

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and succeed alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our o wn happiness. Here are a few suggestions 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 music, or spending time with your close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly
