阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life,I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy.For my happiness,I am grateful to so many people and lucky events,but what have guided me and supported me in my life are my physical health,healthy finances,and my family’s happiness.
Health comes first for me,because without health everything else is meaningless.Imagine starting a career without good health.Imagine starting a family without good health.Imagine achieving anything without good health.Clearly,good health is the first necessary for other part of one’s life.
Good health is not enough to be happy.We still need to have money in today’s society.Money obviously pays for basic needs of life — food,housing,clothing — but it is also necessary for other reasons like the quality of our education and medical care.
Next comes the most important thing in having a happy life — our family.It provides the love,joy and support that everybody needs.I love my family with all my heart.I get pleasure from their pleasure.I suffer when they suffer.My family helped me get through the hard times of entrance exams.They comforted and advised me when I had misunderstanding with my friends.More importantly,they have been there to share in my successes in the past twenty years.
In summary,all these are what I need and want in this world.As long as I stay healthy,earn enough money,and share both good times and bad times with my family,I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
