Happiness is for everyone. In fact, happiness is always around you if you care about it. When you are in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at school, your classmates will help you; when you study hard at your {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , your parents are always taking good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of you; when you get succeed(成功), your friends will say congratulations {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you; when you do something {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , people around you will help you correct it; and when you do something good to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , you will feel happy, too. All these things are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . If you pay attention to them, you can see happiness is always {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you. Happiness is not the same as money. When you are poor, you can say you are very happy, because people can't buy happiness {#blank#}9{#/blank#} money. When you meet problems, you can also say loudly you are very happy, because you have many friends to help you. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you agree with me, you can be a happy and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} person.

    Natural disasters cause trouble for a lot of people around the world each year. But different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of the world experience different kinds of disasters. Some places have earthquakes {#blank#}2{#/blank#}others have typhoons(台风).

    Every disaster is different. But doing these three things can help you prepare yourself and keep your family{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Do some research

    Learn about the kinds of disasters that can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in your area. How could those disasters affect your home, phones, power and water?

Make an emergency(紧急情况) plan

    In a disaster, you can't always travel. Sometimes phones stop{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, too. Decide where family members should {#blank#}6{#/blank#} if they can't get home safely. Make a list of important phone numbers and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}for everyone to keep in their bag or wallet.

Prepare for the worst

    What will you take if you need to leave your home {#blank#}8{#/blank#}? Clothes, water and food are important. ID cards and bank information are also important. If someone in your family {#blank#}9{#/blank#} medicine, you should take that, too. Keep {#blank#}10{#/blank#}things together in one place. In that way, you can get them in no time if you need them.

    My birthday was a few days ago. Now I'm 24 years old and I'm 46 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with teaching. I didn't remember my birthday until the morning of the 20th. It was just like a normal day, no gifts, no party, no cake... and 1 prefer it that way. When I was younger, I always felt sad that almost 47 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} remembered my birthday, not even my family. But now I don't care anymore, from 23 to 24, not much difference. This month I have several foreign students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chinese with me. I give lessons privately, so I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to do quite a lot of work before each lesson. So far I'm getting more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in teaching foreigners Chinese, and I think it's a very cool job. When I was at {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I wanted to follow these native English speakers. They can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they're not real teachers. I complained Chinese people didn't have as many chances as people from the West. But now things are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, and maybe, in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries. I'll study more and get ready.

    There are many interesting places there, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Olympic Park, the Geziwo Park and the Tiger Rock Park. In the Olympic Park, there are some athletes' statues (运动员的雕像) and champions' fingerprints (冠军的手印) and footprints. Everything in the park is about the Olympics. The Geziwo Park {#blank#}2{#/blank#}famous because it is one of the best places to watch the sunset (落日). Thousands of people go to watch the sunset every day. People can also see different kinds of birds. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ourselves in Beidaihe. After the trip, we are hoping for the next holiday.
