I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.
I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.
Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

(答案→)D 解析：文章通过作者小时候的一次经历引入“兴趣是最好的老师”这一观点。做事情的热情和身体的健康是获得幸福的关键。而成功、财富等不一定给人带来幸福。【小题1】第一段介绍了作者小时候的经历。根据第一段“I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life.”可知，作者小时候与电脑结下了不解之缘，这也决定了他长大后的生活。故选D。【小题2】根据“This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time...I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do.”可知，作者通过发现的源代码获得了无限的生命，由此产生了兴趣，根据“the rest of my life about self-learning and computers”可知，作者长大后喜欢自学和电脑方面的知识。兴趣是最好的老师。故选A。【小题3】根据第二段“This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy.”可知，作者认为开心的关键是热情和健康。故选C。【小题4】根据第二段“This enthusiasm...It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too.”和最后一段“Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy.”可知，热情能给人带来自信和满足，而成功、财富、成就却不一定。故选D。
