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.
