【导语】本文主要介绍什么是幸福以及我们能做些什么来获得幸福。
1．句意：但很多人可能不知道什么是幸福，也不知道如何幸福。根据文中“Butmanypeoplemaynotknow…happinessisandhowtobehappy.”可知，此处指的是人们不知到什么是幸福。what引导宾语从句，意为“什么”符合语境。故填what。
2．句意：根据一位美国专家的说法，幸福就是做一些有趣和有意义的事情。根据文中“AccordingtoaUSexpert,happinessisaboutdoingthings…areinterestingandmeaningful.”可知，该句子为主从复合句中的定语从句，从句缺主语成分，应用关系代词that/which代词先行词things作从句are的主语。故填that/which。
3．句意：相反，它们可以很小。根据文中“Ourdreamsdon’thavetobebig.Instead,theycanbe.”中的“instead”，意为“相反的”可知，前后两句相对比，因此small“小的”符合语境。故填small。
4．句意：对于父母来说，他们的梦想可能是让孩子每天都为上学做好准备。根据文中“Ourdreamsdon’thavetobebig.Instead,theycanbe…Forexample,a17-year-oldstudentmightexpecttogetintohispreferredcollege.Forparents,the…couldbetogettheirkids
