I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting when my car {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (break) down near a remote and poor village. Cursing my misfortune, I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} should have the honor of receiving me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a guest in their house. Finally, I accepted the offer of an old woman who lived alone in a little house. While she was getting me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (settle) into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} small town some 20 kilometres away {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there was a garage.

    I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess's courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} villagers brought me goat's cheese and honey. We drank together and talked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (merry) till far into the night.

    When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the trouble I had caused {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Cyclist Agustin Navarro was coming fourth in a race in Spain. But as he approached the finish line, he saw that his competitor Ismael Esteban had suffered a flat line and was running toward the finish line{#blank#}1{#/blank#} his bike over his shoulders. Agustin Navarro slowed down and refused{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pass) him. Instead, he rode behind Ismael Esteban{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (allow) him to win the bronze medal.

    The people standing along the way applauded for Agustin Navarro's{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (behave) and cheered the two men as they made it toward the finish line —{#blank#}5{#/blank#} on foot; the other, on his bike. Mr. Esteban later tried to give{#blank#}6{#/blank#} prize to Agustin Navarro,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} he refused it.

    Agustin Navarro{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (praise) online for his unusual act since then. In a television interview, he told people that he didn't want to win like that, so he braked out of respect for somebody who had been{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) than himself. That's{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the spirit in a sport lies: respect competitors, teammates, coaches and even themselves.

    Happiness can be described {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. There are many factors {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(contribute) to happiness.

    A person in an apparently ideal situation is not {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(necessary) happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

    A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

    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 {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe) that this is mainly.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they have more opportunity to control their {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(life). Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less 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.
