Someone asks me what on earth happiness means? I can’t give you the exact definition of it, but I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it.

I’ll never forget an old lady 1 lives in a small house alone. It’s said that her husband and her son 2 (die) in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is! But the old lady often helps others 3 a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first 4 (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, 5 I think she is a happy person.

Her life is full of laughter and love.

But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad way. They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy 6 (they) and they laugh at others’ 7 (shortcoming). Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get happiness 8 (true) because they have lost their personalities. Now I know 9 happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only 10 (bring) happiness to others can make you get it.

【解析】

【文章大意】本文为议论文。讲述的是快乐的意义就是如果你乐于助人，你就会得到真正的快乐。

【1】 考查定语从句。定语从句缺少主语，应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句修饰先行词an old lady。

【2】 考查时态语态。句意：据说，她的丈夫和儿子在一起交通事故中死亡。根据句意可知die与主语之间为主动关系，且为一般过去时，故用died。

【3】 考查介词。句意：但是这位老太太经常面带微笑帮助别人。介词with表示“带着”。

【4】 考查非谓语动词。“the+序数词+不定式”为固定结构，表示“第……个做……的”。故用to clean。

【5】 考查连词。句意：或许她很不幸，但是我认为她是一个快乐的人。根据句意可知此处应用转折连词but。

【6】 考查代词。句意：为了玩得开心，他们破坏树木，他们嘲笑别人的缺点。根据句意可知应用themselves构成固定短语enjoy oneself，表示“玩得开心”。

【7】 考查名词。shortcoming为可数名词，根据句意可知此处应用复数形式shortcomings。

【8】 考查副词。句意：或许他们当时感到高兴，但是他们永远不会真正地得到快乐，因为他们已经失去了他们的人格。根据句意可知此处应该用副词truly修饰get happiness。

【9】 考查名词性从句。句意：现在我知道快乐意味着什么了。根据句意可知此处应该用what引导宾语从句。

【10】 考查非谓语动词。句意：最重要的是，仅仅带给别人快乐就会使你得到快乐。根据句意可知应用bringing在句中作主语。
