1 The wind was strong. Zhou Jian’s hat blew off. His long hair waved in the air. He heard a voice behind him: “Is that a boy or a girl ” He shook his head. “Just one more month!” he said to himself.
2 People often talked about his long hair behind his back. Sometimes they laughed at him. But he never felt any shame.
3 Zhou Jian kept his hair long for over two years. Day after day, hope grew together with his hair.
4 Finally, the time came. Zhou Jian walked into a barber's shop. He took off his hat and his hair fell around his shoulders. The other customers were very surprised. “Please cut it short and give me the hair,“ he said. The barber's scissors did their work. Zhou Jian carefully put the hair into a bag and walked to the post office.
5 A week later, he received a letter:
Dear Mr Zhou,
Thank you for helping kids with cancer. This is enough hair for wigs!
6 Zhou Jian looked at the smart young man in the mirror. He remembered the words of Plato: “Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.” He smiled and said to himself, “It’s time to grow happiness again.”

3. Why does the writer use the words of Plato
To tell us that the key to happiness is doing good and helping others.
柏拉图(Plato) ：古希腊哲学家，西方哲学的开创者之一，创作了哲学对话体著作《理想国》。
Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.
幸福源于行善和帮助他人。
What does the title “Growing happiness” mean
It means the young man grew his hair to help others. This made him happy.
Discuss
此处标题使用了比喻的修辞手法， 将幸福比喻为可以种植或生长的事物（如头发），形象地表达出幸福是可以通过行动而积累和增加的。
1. How do you feel when you read the letter in the passage
I feel surprised and happy for the kids with cancer.
I understand why Zhou Jian grew his hair long.
Learning to think
Sometimes the writer puts the key information at the end of the story. This keeps us reading on!
Think and share.
2. What can you learn from the passage
I can learn from the passage that helping others makes us happy. To be happy, we shouldn’t only focus on our own lives. We should think about other people, too.
Think and share.
gain happiness by helping others
Donating hair may not be a very great thing.
But it’s the thought that counts.
“礼轻情意重”
More importantly, you should
do what you can do.
1. He heard a voice behind him: “Is that a boy or a girl ”
“Is that a boy or a girl ” 是一个选择疑问句。
选择疑问句是提出两种或两种以上的情况让对方进行选择的问句，供选择的部分用 or 连接，or 意为“还是”。
其结构“一般疑问句 + 一个供选择的对象 + or + 另一个供选择的对象 ”。
— Is your mother a doctor or a teacher
