A father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was happy when he saw the sky filled with colorful kites. He wanted to fly a kite, too. The father then bought a kite for his son.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too 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 life's simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people do dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, people may 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 second paragraph tells us that ________.
A.the more friends you have, the happier you are B.we shouldn't think about our future
C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life D.some people fail to live a happy life
【2】The writer thinks that ________.
A.everyone knows how to live a happier life B.it's wrong to spend time on work
C.hobbies take up too much time D.doing good things for someone can make you happier
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Reading a good book. B.Traveling to a foreign country.
