Someone asks me what on the earth happiness means? I can’t give you the exactly definition of it, but I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it.

I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives a small house alone. It’s said that her husband and her son were died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is! But the old lady often helped others with a smile. Wherever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of those. I often remember the stories she told about us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is lucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life full of laughter and love.

【解析】

试题分析：有人问我究竟什么才是快乐的，我通过一个老奶奶的故事来讲述。老奶奶虽然生活很不幸，丈夫和儿子都因车祸去世了，但是她乐于帮助别人，她的生活很快乐。所以，帮助别人肯定能让你得到快乐。

1.去掉 the 考查冠词。On earth究竟，固定搭配，所以去掉 the。

2.exactly→exact 考查形容词。修饰名词definition用形容词，用exact。

3.lives→lives in 考查介词。一般情况下，live为不及物动词，要加介词in，故用lives in。

4.去掉were/were died→were killed 考查动词 。Died没有被动形式，是人死了，或者可用were killed被杀了，故可去掉were或者改成were killed。

5.helped→helps 考查时态。Often表示经常性的，主语为老奶奶，用第三人称单数形式，用helps 。

6.Wherever→ Whenever 考查关系词。每当下雪的时候，是强调时间，不是地点，故用Whenever。

7.those→them 考查代词。Them代指前文的several children，用them。

8.去掉about 考查介词。Told sb sth告诉某人某事，文中只给我们讲故事，told about是告知的意思，语境不符，所以去掉about。

9.lucky→unlucky 考查形容词及对文章的理解。根据前文可知老奶奶的生活是不幸的，丈夫儿子都死了，用unlucky 。

10.

考点：考查了冠词、介词、代词、名词、形容词、时态等的用法
