Last year, we took a trip to New York City. When we arrived at our 1, it was around 2 a. m. My son, Joseph, looked out at the lights of Times Square and said he wanted to go 2. I told him it was too 3 to go out, but he kept looking out of the window and said, "Just for two minutes."
My wife and I just looked at each other, smiled and said, "Two minutes." We got dressed and walked into the center of Times Square. 4 we got there, my son pointed at the lights and said, "Dad, 5!" And then he started to fall asleep. So we had go back to the hotel.
It took us 20 minutes to 6 for the 20 seconds we spent outside, but it made our son 7 and that meant a lot to us. That night, I learned a lesson about happiness. We sometimes have chances to 8 happy moments in our lives, but we often find 9 to do something else.
Because of my son, I learned that I am the biggest enemy to my own happiness. 10 happiness is a door that is always open, we are the ones who have to decide if we are going to walk through the door.

Recently, a video story has spread among people.
James Anthony has cleaned the halls of Hickerson Primary School for 15 years. Although he is deaf, he never complains (抱怨). Instead, he greets every child and teacher with smile. Teachers and children love him very much and call him Mr. James.
On the day Anthony turned 60, the school wanted to give him a very special surprise. That day when Anthony walked into a classroom, a group of children started to sign (打手势) and sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Anthony started smiling as usual. Then his jaw (下巴) dropped open and he laughed for joy as he realized what was going on. A few teachers led the kids through the whole song as Anthony watched. A wide smile was on his face. As they finished, tears came out from his eyes.
Scott, secretary (秘书) of the school said, "The children love and respect Mr. James. They give him high fives in the halls, and he even teaches them sign language. Today he has put smiles on faces all around the world."
At 8, 844, 43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain on Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, thousands of visitors throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.
According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting (限制) the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.
Local people cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5,200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish.
This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.
