despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.LoveLove plays a pivotal role in our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us unconditional love and care.They teach us what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to othersfeelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.Happiness and SorrowMaterialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on othersface gives a certain level of fulfillment (履行)Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.But these things are temporary and will pass away.Failure and SuccessFailure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money，fame，pride and selfrespect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing(授予) success on us is by being humble，modest，courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.Hope and DespairHope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same，we have only one choice to keep moving on in life and be hopeful.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull.So_the_only_alternative_is_to_work_hard_today，so_that_we_will_enjoy_a_better_tomorrow.【解题导语】生活中布满了幸福和哀痛，成功和失败，期望和无望，作者鼓舞人们乐观乐观地对待。9In which section can readers probably read the
