　　The opening and closing of doors are the most significant actions of man’s life. What a　1　lies in doors!

　　No man knows what awaits him when he opens a door. 2　the most familiar room, where the clock ticks and the hearth glows red at dusk may harbor　3　. The worker may actually have called and　4　the leaking pipe. The cook may have been ill and demanded her passport.

　　There are many kinds of doors. Revolving doors for hotels, shops and public buildings. There are many　5　the busy, bustling ways of modern life. Can you　6　William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens skipping through a　7　door? There are double doors, sliding doors, stage doors and glass doors. The　8　and mystery of a door lie in its quality of being hidden. A glass door is not a door at all, but a window. The meaning of a door is to　9　what lies inside; to keep the heart in suspense.

　　Also, there are many ways of opening doors. There is the cheery　10　of elbow with which the waiter opens the kitchen door. There is the sympathetic and awful　11　of the dentist’s maid who opens the door into the operating room and, without speaking, 12　that the doctor is ready for you.

　　The opening of doors has in it some flavor of the　13　, some sense of moving into a new moment. Even in　14　, the opening of a door may bring relief. But the closing of doors could be　15　. A door closed brings　16　to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. A door slammed is a confession of weakness. A door　17　shut may often be the most tragic gesture in life.

　　The opening and closing of doors is a part of the serious fluency of life. Life will not stay　18　and let us alone. We are　19　opening doors with hope, closing them with despair. Life　20　not much longer than a pipe of tobacco, and destiny knocks us out like the ashes.

　　(2015·杭州七校模拟)

　　We all think that we know what happiness is. We all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. The question, however, is “What is real happiness? ”What really is called happiness? The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.

　　Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination. ”

　　To prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy.

　　It is unreasonable to hold this point of view. It is unkind to regard one as happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “If you want to be happy, look towards the poor. ”We know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions, but this can never be called happiness.

　　Unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy.

　　Some ask people to do this and do that and say, “This way your desires would be satisfied. You would get the desired objects and become happy. ”People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. But it is not possible to satisfy one’s desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. Therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.

　　Happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills(履行)human nature in an excellent way. People have a set of purposes which are typically human: These belong to our nature. Happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated(培养), and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. Happiness is the name of struggle and courage. Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. Happiness may be shared in service and duty. This life is a combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.

　　Funny how you can always tell when somebody’s laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn’t really heard anything, maybe a whisper, but when she turned around, the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her, trying to hide laughter. She looked back at her teacher. Mr Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up. He called on Billy first.

　　“My daddy works in a bank, ”Billy said. “I guess I want to work in a bank too. There’s lots of money in the bank. ”

　　“My parents have a store, ”Emmy said. “But I want to be an airline pilot. ”

　　Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s Daddy is a garbage man! ”Everybody in the class laughed out loud. Everybody except Jodie, that is. She felt her face turn bright red. She looked around the whole classroom. Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses. Jodie looked at Mr Swales. He was angry. He almost never raised his voice, but now he did. “Silence! I want everybody quiet now. ”

　　The laughter stopped immediately. The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows. “You should be ashamed of yourselves, ”Mr Swales said. “Being a garbage man. . . I mean, a difficult and very useful job. We should all be grateful to Mr Harris. ”

　　“It’s not funny, ”Mr Swales went on. “Garbage is a serious matter. I think you all owe Jodie an apology. And after that, you’re all going to write Jodie’s father, Mr Harris, a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us. In other words, keeping our city clean. ”

　　Everyone said“Sorry, Jodie”but Jodie could tell they didn’t really mean it. She also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter. She wished Mr Swales wouldn’t make them do it. Her face was burning red and she felt like crying. Mr Swales came to her desk and patted her shoulder. “Let’s go out in the hall while everyone’s writing those letters so we can have a private talk. ”

　　Jodie started crying out in the hall. She didn’t want to cry in front of everybody, but she couldn’t hold back any more. “I’m sorry this happened, ”he said. “But remember, hard work done well is something to be proud of. There’s nothing wrong with being a garbage man, absolutely not. ”

　　Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual. She didn’t run up to him the way she always did. When they were up in their apartment, Jodie went to her little room and cried for a good long time before she did her homework. Her father must have heard her.

　　He came into her room. “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad? ”Jodie didn’t want to tell him at first. She didn’t want to hurt her father’s feelings. Her father sat on the bed, put his hand on her shoulder. “It’s OK, sweetie. You can tell me. You can tell me everything, you know. But you don’t have to tell me your secrets, if you don’t want to. Is this a secret? ”

　　“It’s not a secret. The other kids laughed at me because you’re a garbage man. They said your job was dirty and you smelled bad. They said I smelled bad too. ”

　　Jodie looked at her father. He didn’t seem angry, hurt or sad. “Well then, ”he said. “I guess those kids just don’t know how much fun it is to be a garbage man. ”

　　“Your friends at school were right, though. Being a garbage man is a dirty job. Garbage is dirty. But then me and the guys I work with come along, catch the garbage and throw it in the truck. Then everything’s nice and clean, the way we like it. And when I get home, I take a long hot shower so I’m clean as the day I was born. I like my job, Jodie. And I like the people I work with, too. ”
