On the morning of his graduation day his father called him into his own study and told him how   18  he was to have such a fine son. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   19  but slightly disappointed（失望）, the young man opened the box and found a lovely book.   20 , he raised his voice at his father and said, “With all your money you give me a book?” and rushed out of the house,   21  the book in the study.

When he arrived at his father’s house, he was told that his father had been in hospital for a week. The moment he was about to leave for the hospital, he saw on the desk the   23  new book , just as he had left it one year ago. He opened it and began to turn the pages. Suddenly, a car key   24      from an envelope（信封）in the book. It had a tag（標(biāo)簽）with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car.

Happiness is for everyone.You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses   21 large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?    22  those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their   23 time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will   24 you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get   25 , your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. When you do something good to others,you will feel happy,  26 . All these are your happiness. If you notice   27 of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same   28 money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy ,because you have something else that can’t be bought with money .When you meet difficulties, you can say   29 you are very happy ,because you have more chance to challenge yourself .So you cannot always say you are poor and you have  30  luck. As the old saying goes : “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens .”If you take every chance you meet ,you can be a happy and lucky person.
