Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to speak to anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day, when my classmates were talking happily with their friends, I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so!
It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.When did the writer get the gift?

Most people want to be happy， but few know how to find happiness． Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness． Aristotle， a Greek thinker， said， "Happiness depends on ourselves．" In other words， we make our own happiness． Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life． Too often， we spend so much time thinking about the future ﹣ for example， getting into college or getting a good job ﹣ that we fail to enjoy the present． You should enjoy life's simple pleasure， such as reading a good book， listening to your favorite music， or spending time with close friends． People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives．
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active． Many people go dancing or play sports． People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities．
Finally， many people find happiness in helping others． Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others． If you want to feel happier， do good things for someone． You can help a friend with his or her studies， go shopping to buy food for an elderly person， or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．
（1）Does the writer agree to "Happiness depends on ourselves"？
