meteor（流星）shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answersAccording to Gabe Rothsclild，Emerald Valleys mayor，people gathered in the suburbs of the city，carrying heavy

the detours（绕行路）in life that by the narrow road toward goalsI like this imageBut I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parentshome in Boise in nine hoursWe traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest easiest road，especially when ai was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hates confinement（限制）and have strong opinions about everything Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had toWe would stick to the freeways and arrive tired But then Banner，our lamb was bornHe was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to BoiseI had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with meMy husband made the decision for me That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me throughWe took the country roads out of necessityWe had to stop every hour，let Banner shke out his legs and feed himThe kids chased him and one anotherTheyd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grassEven if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother，or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freewayHere was lifeAnd new horizons（见识）We eventually arrived at my parentsdoorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining techniqueOn an empty section of road，everyone started quarrelingI stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up aheadI parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence Some road trips are by necessity fast and straightBut that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to any on adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself 46Why did the author use to take freeways to her parentshome？AIt was less time BIt would be faster and safer CHer kids would feel less confined DShe felt better with other

happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，an absolute delight，which seems to get rarer the older we get For kids，happiness has a magical qualityTheir delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved（毫不掩饰的）In the teenage years the concept of happiness changesSuddenly its conditional on such things as excitement，love and popularityI can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party In adulthood the things that bring deep joylove，marriage，birthalso bring responsibility and the risk of lossFor adults，happiness is complicated（复杂的）My definition for happiness isthe capacity for enjoymentThe more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we areIts easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，and even good health I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterdayFirst I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunchbox and had the house to myselfThen I spent an uninterrupted morning writing，which I loveWhen the kids and my husband came home，I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable

We，however，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area，have turned happiness into one more thing weve got to haveWeve so selfconscious about ourrightto it that its making us
