My heart dropped as I forced my unwilling body into the car. It would be miles and miles until we reached the unpleasant place, where we would have to _________ Brandy, my older sister. Brandy was leaving home to serve as a volunteer in AmeriCorps.

My dad started the car and we left the house. Soon, the streets turned into highways, and with each passing mile, “_________” got closer and closer. My heart continued to drop lower.

All of the bitter-sweet(sad and happy) memories of growing up with my sister came into my _________ from when I was young and Brandy telling me that my clothes were ugly, to when I copied her every move _________ I looked up to her so much, to when the terrible teenage years came and her life was too busy for her younger sister. The anger came back to _________ too, the anger that came when my life was suddenly too childish for hers.

I didn’t understand why my sister only talked to me when I did something wrong or I made her angry. Why did her new clothes make my clothes look babyish? These questions and many more _________ in my head.

Now I knew that my time with her was very short. Throughout the ride she picked on me with _________ words, but this time I knew what they meant. They still hurt me even though I knew that this was the agonizing(折磨人的) way of pulling away from us, in preparation for her leaving us at last.

When we reached the place where Brandy was to stay, we did everything that we could to _________ the painful goodbye that waited for us, until all that was left were the real goodbyes. The tears began to run down her face as she held me in her arms and told me the words that I hadn’t heard in a long time.

“I love you, Lindsey.”

I cried and said, “I love you, too.” The family was all tears. We all got into the car and pulled away. Brandy, still _________, turned away and walked off. In that one moment, I loved her more than anything in the world. She looked like a grown-up as she walked away, but as the headlights ________ her face, I saw the little Brandy that still wanted to be my friend and still wanted to be a part of the family.

On the long drive home that night I felt as though I had left my heart with Brandy. I couldn’t imagine life __________ my big sister or the endless chatter that Brandy always supplied. Would life ever be the same?

It has taken some time, but now I know that __________ goes on, even though Brandy isn’t here. She is always with me because a part of her is in me and always will be.

Happy people are healthier; they get sick less often and live longer. They have more friends. They are more productive at work.

Happiness doesn’t come easy, but you can develop it with practice. A simple way to start developing happiness is by recognizing good things. For this, each evening, you can write down three things that went well and add some details about each, including how they made you feel, and why they happened. Also you can take a 20-minute walk and pay attention to the sights, sounds and smells you meet with. Each time you notice something positive; take time to think about why you enjoy it.

Another simple way to develop happiness is to find meaning and purpose. For example, look out for whatever makes your life meaningful. We can also develop happiness by fostering(培養(yǎng)) a sense of purpose, and here is one way to do that. You imagine for 15 minutes an ideal future in which everything is going as well as possible, from your family and personal life to your studies and health. This exercise motivates(激勵(lì)) you to make changes, rather than reminding you — how imperfect and meaningless your life is now.

In addition, you can develop happiness by putting more time and attention you’re your strengths. Each day for a week, choose one strong point and make a plan to use it in a different way. You can focus on the same strength for a week or work on different strengths each day. At the end of the week, synthesize(綜合) the experience by writing about what you did, how those exercise made you feel, and what you learned. This exercise will help you feel happier and less sad.

Lastly, connecting with people around you is also one of the surest ways to happiness. To achieve this, you just need to help a friend or do something for your family. You can also do something for those who you don’t know. In this way, you can surely achieve happiness.
