    Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about 1 people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money 2 so on.Why？ 3  those who have big houses  4 often feel lonely and those who have cars want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

    In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart 5 it.When you are in trouble at school，your friends 6 you； when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health； when you 7 your friends will say congratulations to you； when you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it.And when you do something good to 8 you will feel happy，too.All these are your happiness.If you notice those things，you can see 9 happiness is always around you.

    Happiness is not the same as money.It is  10 feeling of your heart.When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties，you can say  11 that you are very happy，because you have more chances  12 yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes：life 13 like a revolving （ 旋转）door.When it closes，it also？ 14  If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky  15

My friend，Victor，is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo．His work is very interesting but it is hard．Sometimes it is dangerous，too．Every morning，the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals．Each kind of animal eats special food．For example，the lions must be given meat； the deer must be given grass and leaves； and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts．Sometimes some animals won't let the others eat their food．If this happens，each of them must be fed separately（分离的）．
Every morning each cage （笼子） must be washed by the zoo keepers．This can be dangerous，especially with lions and tigers．To make the work easier，the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments（ 隔间） while the cages are being washed．When the animals are sick，the zoo keepers must look after them．Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine．Sometimes they must be given injection．It is not easy to inject a sick lion!
All the keepers live near the zoo．Each of them has a small house．There he lives with his family．They do not have holidays on Sundays and special holidays．Instead，each of them has a day off during the week．Each keeperhas a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers．
The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors．People must be stopped from doing dangerous things．Many people have been hurt because they did careless things，like putting their hands into the lion's cage．

Mr．Young worked in a hospital in the capital．He was busy all the time and little time to have a rest．And one day he felt unwell and couldn't go on working．He decided to spend a week's holiday in a quiet village where he could go swimming or fishing．He got off at a small railway station and soon got to the village．He took a room hotel and went to sleep as soon as he had a good meal．

    At first Mr．Young enjoyed himself there．He could do everything he wanted and went wherever he liked．Nobody disturbed（打扰） him and knocked at the door at mid﹣night．But on the fourth day he was in trouble．After lunch it was very hot．He went swimming in the river．Suddenly he saw a beautiful bird in a big tree．He wanted to catch it and walked to it，but it found him and flew away and soon was gone．He began to pick some flowers in the forest and before long he lost his way．

    The sun had gone down and night had fallen before Mr．Young found a small restaurant in another village．He came in and told them to bring him some bread，two eggs and a glass of tea．After a while his food was brought．

    Soon he ate up all the bread and eggs．When he was going to have the tea，he found there was a fly in the glass．

    "What's in my tea？"Mr．Young called out，"A fly？"It's impossible （不可能的），sir，"said the owner or the restaurant，"I had told them to pick all the flies out of your tea before they brought it to you!"

    Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question．Why do some people change their names？There can be many reasons．Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember．On the other hand，Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different．

People have a lot of reasons for changing their names．Film stars，singers，sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not common，or that have special sound．They choose the"new name"for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born．

    Some people have some other reasons for changing their names．They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there．For example，Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States．He uses the name Ken at his job and at school．But with his family and Chinese friends，he uses   Li Kaiming．
    For some people，using different names makes life easier in their new country． In many countries，a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she gets married．But today，many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband's．Sometimes，women use their own name in some situations（情况） and their husband's in other situations．And some use both their own name and their husband's．
