题目2：Can Money Buy Happiness?
Can Money Buy Happiness? The answer varies among people. Some believe that money is the source of happiness, because money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, and clothes for the needy. While others hold that money is the root of evils, because it is the devil of money that drives a person to lie, cheat, steal, and, worst of all, to murder.
In my opinion, money is essential to being well-off, but not necessarily to well-being. Happiness is a state of mind, not something that can be bought. All in all, happiness is less a matter of buying what we want than a wanting what we have.
