The Well of Happiness
I recently read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It tells the story of Santiago, a shepherd(牧羊人) boy who dreams of finding treasure far away. He travels across deserts, meets different people, and faces many dangers. At first, I thought it was just an adventure story about seeking wealth.
But as I read on, I realized the treasure wasn't just gold. The real treasure was Santiago's journey itself—the people he helped, the lessons he learned, and the faith he kept. He discovered that true happiness, or his "personal legend", was about following his heart and understanding the world's simple language.
This reminded me strongly of Charlie Bucket. Charlie wasn't looking for treasure, but he found something more valuable than Wonka's factory: the love of his family. Santiago, after his long travel, found that the treasure was buried right where he started his dream. Both stories taught me the same secret: Sometimes, happiness isn't about getting something new from far away. It's about seeing the value in what you already have—your dreams, your efforts(努力), and the love around you.
Charlie 和 Santiago,两个故事,一个秘密。对比看看他俩都发现了什么。
任务一:书评新发现——《快乐之泉》。
请阅读这篇书评,它与课本的第一篇文章是“孪生兄弟”——类型相同(都是书评),话题相同(从书中感悟幸福)。对比分析,发现幸福主题的共通之处。

任务二:我的“幸福书摘”。
从这篇新书评或课本书评中,摘抄一句最打动你的关于“幸福”的句子,并写下它打动你的原因。
1. 我的书摘:
2. 触动我的理由:

任务一：
1. He traveled across deserts for the faraway treasure, and finally found the treasure was just at the place where he started his dream. He knows true happiness is to follow his heart, and his journey itself is the real treasure.
2. He didn't look for treasure on purpose, but he got the love of his family, which is more valuable than Wonka's factory.
3. happiness; experiences / journeys
任务二：
1. 我的书摘：Sometimes, happiness isn't about getting something new from far away. It's about seeing the value in what you already have—your dreams, your efforts, and the love around you.
2. 触动我的理由：This sentence lets me know that I don't need to run after distant things to get happy. I can find happiness easily if I cherish the things I have now, such as my parents' love, the little progress I get through hard work, and my small dreams. It makes me find more beauty in my daily life.

任务一可根据原文内容定位对应人物的经历与感悟，梳理两人的不同经历和共通的幸福主题：
1. 从原文Santiago的相关故事线，提取他的冒险经历和个人收获：他为寻找远方宝藏穿越沙漠、历经考验，最终发现宝藏就在自己梦想开始的地方，明白追随本心、旅途本身就是最珍贵的收获。
2. 从原文Charlie的相关故事线，提取他的经历和收获：他没有刻意寻找宝藏，却得到了比旺卡工厂更珍贵的家人的爱。
3. 两人的共通点是都领悟到了幸福的真正含义，并且都在各自的旅程/经历中获得了成长。
任务二为开放性题目，选择原文中关于幸福的语句，结合自身日常感受写出合理的理由即可，答案符合七年级英语词汇难度要求即可。
