七、(2011·西宁)任务型阅读(8分)
Happiness is for everyone.You don"t need to be concerned with those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools，or those who have nice cars and alot of money and so on.Why？ Because those people who have big houses may often feel lonely，and those people who have cars may want to walk on the country road during theirfree time.
In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into looking for it.When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you.When you study hard at your lesson，your parents are always there taking good care of your life and your health.When you are successful，your friends are there to congratulate you.When you do something wrong，the people around you will help you correct the mistake.And when you do something good forothers，you will feel happy，too.All of these things are signs of happiness.If you notice a fewof them，you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness and money are not the same thing.Happiness is a feeling of your heart.
When you are poor，you can also say that you are very happy，because you have something else that can"t be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties，you can still say thatyou are very happy，because you have more opportunities to challenge yourself.You can notalways say that you are poor and have bad luck.
As the saying goes，life is like a revolving door.When it closes，it also opens.If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person.
