While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I   16 . Because I was in great need of   17  and wanted to do something useful, I applied(申請).
Three days later, a letter   18 . It asked me to see the   19  at Croydon. It proved to be a(n)   20  journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of   21  a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal   22  opened the door. He was   23  and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the   24  except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into  25  groups and teach them at three different   26 , and I was not    27  at the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was   28  that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon   29  most of my friends would be   30  themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

    Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon (取決于)ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions（建議） 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 your favorite music, or spending time with 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, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
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 person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
小題1:The best title of the passage is______.
A．Money Makes You Happy
B．The Secrets of Happiness
C．Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy
D．Good Friends Make You Happy
小題2:The passage gives us ______pieces of advice on happiness.
A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four

A．everyone knows how to live a happier life
