If a childhas good parents, he is fed , looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is improbablethat he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost theirinterest for older people because they are too well known .A child finds pleasure inplaying in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure.But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks olderpeople are: he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what hehas done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.译文：童年时，很少使生活困难的一段时间。如果一个孩子有很好的父母，他是幸福的，有着细心的照顾和爱，无论他做什么。他永远不会在他的生活给予了这么多，而无需回报做任何事情，这是不可能的。此外，生活总是提出新的东西已经失去了他们的权益，老年人孩子的事情，因为他们是众所周知的。孩子也在雨中或在雪地上快乐的玩耍。他第一次到海边是一个了不起的冒险。但每一个孩子都有他的痛苦：他不是那么自由地做他愿意做年纪较大的人做的事：他不断被告知不能做的事情，或者他犯了什么错将受到惩罚。因此，他的生活是不完美的幸福。点评：人的一生中会经历很多个阶段，而每一个阶段都有它的特点，当我们处在童年时期时，一方面我们是自由的，是天真无邪的，是快乐的，我们不用思考太多的问题，没有太多的烦恼；然而另一方面我们也需要面对很多的问题，也会有一些不开心的事情。所以我们要明白生活的真正意义所在，只有寻找到了生活的幸福源泉，我们的生活才会是真正的幸福。Exercise Two以如何应对面试（How to Behave in an Interview）为题，在25分钟内写作一篇不少于100词的作文。以下单词和词组组成供写作是参考:Impression, relax, company, dress, education, experience, strong points, apply for, salary, heslth insurance, opportunity, further education How to Behave in an InterviewIn order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepareyourself for it.
