Will you be happy if you have a new Nike T-shirt on? Probably you will. But what if you see a friend 36 a more fashionable(時(shí)髦的)and more beautiful one? You may not feel as satisfied
37 you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute.
Why are we not so happy as we should be? The secret is: we focus on(專注)what we want instead of what we have. We keep making our list of desires(愿望)longer and longer. As a result, we are not pleased with what we have 38 owned. We say to ourselves,“I’11 be happy when this desire is satisfied. ”However, another desire appears when this one is met. So, we still don’t feel happy though we have got what we want. Happiness 39 when we always have new desires hard to satisfy.
Luckily. there is a way to be happy. Think more about what we have than what we want. Rather than wish you were 40 to have an enjoyable vacation on the beach, think of 41 fun you have had near home. Similarly, instead of hating to do much homework, 42 teachers for making you have the chance to practice mole. The list of what you have can also be endless. Each time you find yourself falling into “I wish life were different” trap(陷阱), take a deep breath and think of 43 you have ever had.
Pay more attention to what you have, and you’11 probably get more of what you want. 44 example, your good attitude toward doing homework can bring excellent grades in exams because 45 makes perfect.
Start to focus on what we have! The more we feel satisfied. the more happily we’ll live.

Will you be happy if you have a new Nike T-shirt on? Probably you will. But what if you see a friend 36 a more fashionable(時(shí)髦的)and more beautiful one? You may not feel as satisfied
37 you expect to and the feeling of happiness may disappear in a minute.
Why are we not so happy as we should be? The secret is: we focus on(專注)what we want instead of what we have. We keep making our list of desires(愿望)longer and longer. As a result, we are not pleased with what we have 38 owned. We say to ourselves,“I’11 be happy when this desire is satisfied. ”However, another desire appears when this one is met. So, we still don’t feel happy though we have got what we want. Happiness 39 when we always have new desires hard to satisfy.
Luckily. there is a way to be happy. Think more about what we have than what we want. Rather than wish you were 40 to have an enjoyable vacation on the beach, think of 41 fun you have had near home. Similarly, instead of hating to do much homework, 42 teachers for making you have the chance to practice mole. The list of what you have can also be endless. Each time you find yourself falling into “I wish life were different” trap(陷阱), take a deep breath and think of 43 you have ever had.
Pay more attention to what you have, and you’11 probably get more of what you want. 44 example, your good attitude toward doing homework can bring excellent grades in exams because 45 makes perfect.
Start to focus on what we have! The more we feel satisfied. the more happily we’ll live.
