Everybody seeks happiness in the world. We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married… The thing is, if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be very disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.

Happiness is a short state of mind, just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would hardly be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day. If you think that sounds laughable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?

What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.

Happiness can be found in reaching out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will become our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you. It does not come from expecting others to bring you joy but from how you can create joy for others.

If you want to experience happiness more often, see what you can do to put a smile on someone else’s face each day and notice how much happier you feel when you have achieved that. Happiness is not to be found in material possessions. It is freely available to everyone at any time. All that is required to experience happiness is that you place your focus on moments in your life that make you smile.

32. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. You may smile at a funeral.

B. We should only keep happiness in mind.

·6·

C. Expression must be fit for the proper situation. D. We can be in happy state 24 hours a day.

33. The underlined phrase “reaching out” in Paragraph 4 means ______.

A. stretching one’s hand B. realizing one’s dream C. trying to get something D. offering help to someone

34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Smiling to others is rarely available to everyone. B. Experiencing happiness is to smile at others. C. Having possessions leads to one’s own satisfaction. D. Making others smile can create one’s own happiness. 35. How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By making comparisons. B. By listing examples. C. By giving explanations. D. By making classifications.
