How sad I felt at that time！Even I was full of fears.2slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldnt get my arms back even though I 3every day.However, its easier said than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness4. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a5mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates get6about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes7; they dont have a mobile phone but 8have, and so on. But I only enjoy life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have 9. We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy？Someone may say, My whole life would improve 10I have a new car. But when you get the car, what will happen？For a whole week you are walking on air.

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 .
