The survey about childhood in the third shows that the struggle for survivals long and hard .But in the rich world. children can suffer from a different kind of poverty of the spirit.( ),one Western country alone now sees 14,000 attempted suicides(自杀)every year by children under 15,and one child in five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.
There are many good things about( )in the Third World. Take to close and constant relation between children and their parent, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between ( ) and children. But in the most Third World villages mother and father do not go mikes away each day to work in offices. ( ),the child sees mother and father, relatives and neighbors working nearby and often shares in that work.
A child( )in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s work; helping to dig or build,look after animals or babies - rather than through playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets ( )playing with dools.
These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the western children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, on the other hand, are with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows.
The Third World children do not usually( )to stay indoors, still less in (www.zgjsks.com)highrise apartment(公寓). Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” sign and |”don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of freedom to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them( )from ten floors up.
Of course, twelve million children under five still die every year through(www.zgjsks.com) hunger and disease. But children in the Third World is not all bad.

That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tired explaining numbers to him; he would always and up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty- seven, or a triangle (www.zgjsks.com)had thirty corners, etc.
Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kids, and they would have to correct his mistakes.

A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the west; if you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want a lifetime happiness,take up gardening. The reason for the last choices is this: gardening is not only useful, it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
A research for a US university that I have read (www.zgjsks.com)gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortable pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one’s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than temporary.
Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to the study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not spell gains which one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not cherish what they already have but (www.zgjsks.com)yearn(渴望) for what they can not get. That is somewhat like a man indulging(沉湎于) in dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
Happiness is a game balancing between two ends---what one has and what one wishes for. E.g. One’s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion. A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation: one who meets challenges (www.zgjsks.com)that tap his ability and potential; one who is proud of his achievements. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide-range communication with others; he is helpful and ready to accept assistance, he knows he is able to bear suffering and frustrations, he is sensible enough to get fun from daily chores(杂事). He is a man capable of (www.zgjsks.com)love and passion.
