Passage 6( 2014 江苏常州，D)
For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened,and there was nothing special about it.Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points,not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点） and have to fight against them.
At the same time,it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others,the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate.Try to see why,and look at yourself,too,to he sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day,things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation,without thinking too much about it. Wor?rying never helps in a situation you cannot change.
l. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with oth?ers is to .
