答案 Happiness Lies in Contentment As the ancient Chinese proverb goes, "Happiness lies in contentment." It means that if a person is easy to be contented, he will always be happy. As to the proverb, there are two contrasting standpoints. On the one hand, some people support the statement, and they hold that the biggest treasure in life is happiness. In their views, contentment is an indispensable key to cheerfulness and felicity, while excessive material property is of little use. They firmly believe in the saying "A contented mind is a perpetual feast. " On the other hand, some people consider that contentment manifests idleness and loss of ambition, and people who are easy to be contented usually don’t have the courage to face the reality. Discontent is the first step to progress. In my view, people should never give up the enterprising spirit to strive for their dreams as discontent promotes the development of society.
解析     文章第一段提出古语：“知足常乐”，并解释其含义。
    第二段分析了两种观点：一种观点认为人生最大的财富就是快乐，而知足正是获得快乐的秘诀；另一种观点认为满足现状是懒惰、没有上进心和逃避现实的表现，只有不满足才能获得进步。
    在最后一段中，作者提出自己的观点：人们不可以放弃追求梦想的进取精神，社会的进步正是人们不满足于现状的结果。
