1. During the Spring Festival, people often prefer to try new things and to enjoy themselves a lot after one year’s hard work, but it has increased some unnecessary consumptions (消费) .
The “clear your plate” campaign (活动) started before the New Year, and runs through the two festivals. People began to think about their consumption patterns (模式), “to clear your plate” has become a more and more welcome “New Year Style”.

2. Life is full of happiness and bitters. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
【小题1】Happiness is for         ．

A．those who have large and beautiful houses

B．those who have cars

C．those who have lots of money

D．all people

【小题2】When you do something wrong,         .

A．people around you will help you

C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D．All of the above..

A．money always brings happiness
