It was not long that I learned how important happiness was to life.

    On that day I went with my mum to the bank. I was bored. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (突然), a man dressed in old clothes caught my eyes. He was sitting between the doors of two factories. He was homeless, I was not {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (感兴趣的), for I had seen many like him before.

    Compared with other beggars, he was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (不同的) in some way. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was enjoying listening to the music happily. The radio {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (似乎)to be the best thing he had.

    “Mom, why does that man have a radio even {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (尽管) he's  homeless?” I asked.

    “He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (买) it ,” she replied.

    “But if he's homeless with an {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (空的) stomach, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (浪费) it on something he doesn't need. ”

    “ Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (最) important things. We need happiness, too.”

    That man must care enough about music to buy a radio {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (代替) of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there's nothing to look forward to.
