1. Do you agree that “happiness comes from things like money”
Why or why not
I think happiness can come from money. With money, we can buy things we like. It helps get things that make us smile, so it brings some happiness.
Think and Share
I don’t agree. Money can make life better in some ways. However, it doesn’t always make us happy. In my experience, having good relationships with others can bring me happiness.

2. What do you think the words of Oscar Wilde in the last
paragraph of the passage mean
句中使用了比喻的修辞手法，将心比作花园，将爱比作阳光，说明了爱的重要性——如果生活中缺少爱，就会像没有阳光的花园一样死气沉沉。
Oscar Wilde once said, “Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden...”
To me, the words mean that love makes life good and enjoyable.
奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde)是19世纪末英国最杰出的戏剧家之一，同时他也是一位小说家、诗人。其代表作包括《快乐王子》等。
