【解析】

本篇講述追求快樂(lè)生活的秘訣：幸福的第一秘訣是享受生活中的簡(jiǎn)單事物，不要過(guò)多地考慮未來(lái)；快樂(lè)生活的另一個(gè)秘訣是活躍；通過(guò)幫助別人來(lái)提升自己的幸福感 。

【1】句意：幸福取決于我們自己。

根據(jù)下文“In other words, we make our own happiness.”，推斷上文指“幸福取決于我們自己”；we意為“我們”，人稱代詞主格，其相應(yīng)反身代詞的形式為ourselves；故答案為ourselves。

【2】句意：幸福的第一秘訣是享受生活中的簡(jiǎn)單事物。

空格在定冠詞和單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞之間，判斷填序數(shù)詞；one意為“一”，是基數(shù)詞，其相應(yīng)的序數(shù)詞形式為first；故答案為first。

【3】句意：我們常�；�那么多時(shí)間思考未來(lái)，例如，上大學(xué)或找一份好工作——我們不能享受現(xiàn)在。

sb spends+時(shí)間+ doing sth意為“某人花多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間做某事”，由此判斷空格填動(dòng)名詞；故答案為thinking。

【4】句意：快樂(lè)生活的另一個(gè)秘訣是活躍。

空格在be動(dòng)詞is后面，判斷是不定式當(dāng)表語(yǔ)，故答案為to be 。

【5】句意：人們可以忘記自己的問(wèn)題，只考慮活動(dòng)。

空格在定冠詞后面，判斷填名詞；根據(jù)上文“Many people go dancing or play sports. ”，根據(jù)文句表達(dá)的邏輯關(guān)系，推斷空格填復(fù)數(shù)名詞指代上文提到的活動(dòng)；activity意為“活動(dòng)”，名詞， 以輔音+y為結(jié)尾，要改y為I，再+es；故答案為activities。

【6】句意：最后，許多人在幫助別人中找到了快樂(lè)。

空格在句前，判斷填副詞；根據(jù)上文“The first secret of happiness is…Another secret to living a happy life is…”，推斷空格填表示順序的副詞“最后”；final意為“最后的”，其相應(yīng)的副詞形式為finally；故答案為Finally。

【7】句意：如果你想要生活得更開(kāi)心，可以為一些人做些好事，你可以幫助朋友學(xué)習(xí)，為年老的鄰居購(gòu)物買食品，或者簡(jiǎn)單地幫家里人做一些的家務(wù)，比如洗碗。

空格在介詞后面，判斷填動(dòng)名詞；wash意為“洗”，動(dòng)詞，其相應(yīng)的動(dòng)名詞形式為規(guī)則變化，詞尾+ing，故答案為washing。
