Recently, teenagers face many kinds of problems. Like many of them. I was once
troubled with worries and dissatisfaction. Few people could understand my feelings. 54.
“The problem with your generation is that you always expect to be happy,” my mother
once said. 55. Shouldn’t we try hard to achieve it?
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking. I gradually realize what my mother said
was correct. Over these years, many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness
and high personal confidence. 56. In fact, we may often be happier when we stop
focusing on happiness.We should also reset our expectations of the future. Don’t expect miracles（奇迹）, and
accept that no matter how hard we try, feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from
time to time. When we feel sad, it’s often because we have learned something painful but
important. 57. At the same time, we should learn how to deal with them better than
trying to make them disappear.
58. As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, “Prepare for the worst,
hope for the best, and be unsurprised by everything in between.”
A. Neither could my parents.
B. We should keep the stress off ourselves.
C. Surely happiness was the purpose of living.D.That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E. Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.
F.So it’s necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.

the joy of reading with anyone who passes by. I just live in such a world where books, and
the knowledge that comes with them, are highly valued.” Catherine, an American woman,
said, “I’ve even received a note of thanks from a gentleman named Esteban. He was
especially thankful to have a “friend” on a cold night: ‘Thank you for this wonderful gift of a
book. It’s an excellent friend on this cold and lonely night. I’ll return one in its place as soon
as I can!’”
If each building has such a library, we will soon have a society that spends less time on
the phones and more on the pages of a book.

who was a 59. . Then the idea soon spread to many countries. And Todd 60.
