Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? 36 The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.Make a plan for achieving goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively(消极地) when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 37 When something goes wrong, try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self pity. Truly happy people dont allow setbacks(挫折) to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the things back to their favor. 38 These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness. 39 Whether you treat yourself to lunch, take a long, relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance, you will be subconsciously(下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分)I was only six years old when a stroke(中风)struck my father.

Some think that it is better to use 作文：Nowadays more and more students use dictionaries as study aids. Some think that it is better to use the e-dictionary. They consider that an e-dictionary is smart and cool to use as well as time-saving. Meanwhile, it has many other practical functions. But a printed dictionary is not so convenient to carry. However, some others hold the opposite view. They think the printed dictionary has more entries which are plete, detailed with more examples while the e-dictionary provides limited information. Personally I prefer the e-dictionary. First, its very handy and cute. Besides, its very practical and helpful. Not only is it a dictionary, its also a calculator, a calendar, and a timekeeper as well. It can even teach the learner how to pronounce a word. Above all, most entries of the e-dictionary are up to date.
