A CCTV journalist succeeded in arousing a heated discussion among netizens by asking people whether they were happy. The responses to the question were various, even some quite funny ones {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (include). Although people played jokes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the answers, it did not take long {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they began to figure out the true meanings of happiness.

    It is certain that people's views on happiness {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (affect) greatly by their own life experience. Unfortunately, too many people refer to being rich as happiness and there is no sign of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} decrease in the number of those who are voluntarily at the mercy of wealth. Some people whose {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (intend) is to make big money appreciate being given any chance to multiply their income, believing that is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} their happiness lies. Some are eager to inherit their parents' property, especially those who {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) known as silver-spoon kids. Even worse, some would rather break the law to satisfy their financial desire or seek their fortune {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (legal).

    In my opinion, happiness is not about pursuing wealth merely but about admiring the beautiful things in life. Therefore, live your life {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the fullest and be happy.

Why All Disney Princesses Wear Blue

    If they're not sleeping and waiting for Prince Charming to rescue them, they're busy getting poisoned by poisonous apples or being forced {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) heavy housework by evil relatives.
