9．Meaning of Happiness
"Are you happy？"I asked my brother，Lan，one day，
"Yes．No．It depends what you mean，"he said．
"Then tell me，"I said，"when was the last time you think you were happy？"
"April 1967，"he said，
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life．But Lan's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，a pinnacle（頂點） of sheer （純粹的） delight，（71）D
（72）A I remember playing police and robbers in the woods，getting a speaking part in the school play．Of course，kids also experience lows，but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved．
In the teenage years，the concept of happiness changes．（73）GI can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to．I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man．
In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth，love，marriage-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．Love may not last； loved ones die．For adults，happiness is complex．
My dictionary defines"happy"as"lucky"or"fortunate"．But I think a better definition of happiness is"the ability to enjoy something"．（74）E It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved，the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，even good health．
While happiness may be more complex for us，the solution is the same as ever．Happiness isn't about what happens to us； it's the ability to find a positive for every negative，and view a difficulty as a challenge．（75）F

A．For a child，happiness has a magic quality．
B．You never know where happiness will turn up next．
C．So we chase it and make it equal to wealth and success．
D．And those pinnacles seem to get rarer，the older we get．
E．The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are．
F．It's not wishing for what we don't have，but enjoying what we do possess．
G．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement，love，and popularity．

7．I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own．What would life be like，I wondered，without a beautiful song？In 1992，I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang．"Sam，"she said earnestly，"Your songs should be heard by more people，"
She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me，her singing barber husband．Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs．After the programme was aired，I became known in our community as the Singing Barber．
The biggest surprise，however，was still to come．I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract．He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs．I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia．
    But I hesitated．
    My friends all told me to go for it．And Mary also thought I should do．"Go，Sam．I'll manage with the family…it'll be OK．"
I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard．Soon they would both be in high school…and where would I be？I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support．If I were to start a singing career，I would not only miss them terribly，I'd also certainly miss out on watching them grow up．Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and me…and I couldn't bear it．My family was my life．So I refused the music promoter's offer．I'm still making music，I'm rich in love and I have no regrets．
