I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. Im eighty-seven years old.”“Why are you in university at such a young age?”I asked. She replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a university education and now Im getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Ive learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability.

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, Happiness depends upon (取决于)ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions（建议） to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.（1）The best title of the passage is_.A . Money Makes You HappyB . The Secrets of HappinessC . Ideas for Helping Other People to Be HappyD . Good Friends Make You Happy（2）The passage gives us _pieces of advice on happiness.A . oneB . twoC . threeD . four（3）The writer thinks that_.A . everyone knows how to live a happier lifeB . its wrong to spend time on workC . hobbies take up too much timeD . doing good things for someone can make you happier（4）Which of the following is not mentioned（提及）in the passage?A .
