Answer 1

短文屬于議論文。作者根據(jù)自己的切身體會(huì)，詮釋了幸福的含義：幸福不在于失去或者得到什么，而在于珍惜你所擁有的。
1.根據(jù)下一句“”可知車禍中撞了腿。
2.根據(jù)上下文，這里應(yīng)該是想像沒有腿的日子。
3.前后作者的心情有明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折，使用but。
4.作者已經(jīng)意識到面對現(xiàn)實(shí)，所以她不再浪費(fèi)生命。
5.腿受傷時(shí)間不長，仍舊在醫(yī)院。
6.這里是接受現(xiàn)實(shí)的意思。
7.后面列舉的兩件事（車晚點(diǎn)和沒考好）是讓人心煩的事，故用worried。
8.因?yàn)榫淝坝衎ut，意思有所轉(zhuǎn)折，選擇表示心情好的詞。
9.與and后面的“takepleasureinwhatyouhave”相對應(yīng)，這里指不再擁有的東西。
10.后面一段說明了原因，因此這里選擇why。
11.根據(jù)后面的“whenyougetthe”可知，這里強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“達(dá)到，贏得”。
12.跟據(jù)上句的“if Ihadanewcar”可知。
13.這里指的是心情：不快樂。
14.根據(jù)上下文可知 ：幸福不是發(fā)生什么，而是心里的狀態(tài)。
15.跟上句對應(yīng)，相對來說，不擁有什么，也充滿快樂。
