    Qiang Shuping was so busy making cloth shoes{#blank#}1{#/blank#} she didn't even rest during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The woman from Baipu County, Jiangsu Province, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) shoes since she was 19 years old, and this year marks her 31^st year making cloth shoes.

    She spends the entire day in her tiny studio, which {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(measure) less than 10 square meters altogether, filled with cloth shoes in{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(variety) stages of completion.

    Nowadays, many stores make cloth shoes{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) machines, but Qiang sticks to the technique of making shoes entirely {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hand. She says the shoes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (produce) by the machine are not of the same quality as handmade ones. The handmade cloth shoes are more durable and comfortable, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(soft), and absorb sweat better.

    Some people buy cloth shoes out of nostalgia(怀旧), while others trust {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(they) quality. Making shoes isn't a profitable job, but Qiang still insists as she wants to preserve the craft and pass it down to the younger generation.

    The rich {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they have more opportunity to control their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(life). Yet people with a high income and a college education may be {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(little) happy than those with the same income and no college education.

    Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(disable) or those in pain. Learning {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cope) with a health problem can contribute to happiness.
