32、 school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt accumulating
33、memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productivel
34、y, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.

35、ok out my penAt that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my dia
36、ry when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied with having som
37、ething to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact representations of

41、o experience itC. to make memories D. to give accurate representations of itCWhen asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get. For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting
42、a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的). In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly its conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party. In adulthood the things th
43、at bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的). My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”.

45、d came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day. Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I dont think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and may
46、be this is what satisfied her. We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to have.

47、ithout noticing that the people who have those things arent necessarily happier. Happiness isnt about what happens to us-its about how we see what happens to us.
