V. 短文填空
Too many people think of happiness as the ultimate(最终的) goal of life. But, if you’re waiting for happiness to arrive then it’s 1 likely (like) that it never will!
You are always wanting something more, always 2 looking(look) forward to a time when you’ll be
“happy”.And, once you fall into this trap, you’ll never reach that goal. Happiness should not be your life’s goal, and it should be your life! The only time 3 to be (be) happy is right now! It’s a state of mind, not a set of 4 accomplishment (accomplish) or the accumulation of material things. You must accept that life will always have challenges and things will not always go your way.
Instead of feeling 6 disappointed(disappoint) when things don’t work out the way you’d hoped, feel grateful for the experience. Instead of dreaming of a brighter, 6 happier, richer tomorrow, make today 7 a wonderful as you can. Happiness is a conscious decision and that 1 can make 8 it right now. Thinking of the future and having aspiration are essential 9 to leading a happy and fulfilled life. The trick is not to let thoughts of the future overshadow your 10 enjoyment (enjoy) of the present and the appreciation of the things and people you have in your life right now!。
