答案 When asked what they are after in their life, many young people tend to reply readily that happiness is an important, if not the only, goal in life. Though different people may have different interpretations of happiness based on their own life experiences, I would like to voice my opinion as to what contributes to happiness as a college student. Most importantly we need to have a realistic target in life whatever profession we choose to go in for. While the importance of a target for our career is easy to understand, I, for one, emphasize the realism of the target. For this, we should have a clear picture of ourselves, which, unfortunately, often proves to be a much harder job than it seems to be. An over-assessment of our own competence often results in too high a life target, a causal factor behind disappointment or even frustration for many young people. A realistic target does not ensure happiness unless we make efforts to realize it. There is much in the saying that happiness lies in the pursuit of the goal. Not a few people have one goal after another in their life, but their lofty ambitions bring them nothing but unhappiness because they never really start to turn their ambitions into reality. These people never have the chance to experience happiness because they are never ready to face and overcome hardships inherent in the process of pursuing a life target. A strong-willed person, however, always finds enjoyment in conquering difficulties. As the puts; air of a realistic target is never a lone flight, the right way to get along with the people around us is another major contribution to happiness. As social animals, we human beings inevitably depend on each other for a decent existence. While we go out of our way to make others happy, we are greatly rewarded by the happiness we feel ourselves. This, in turn, ensures a pleasant society for all those who live in it. We can hardly imagine a society where a few citizens can enjoy a real happy life while the majority of the people in it lead a miserable existence. To sum up, we should be clear enough about what we want to achieve and take measures to get it in collaboration with our colleagues. In this way we shall be able to live a happy life and thus bring happiness to the people around us.
解析    引言部分作者在对题目中要求探讨的The Making of Happiness进行了限定，说明本文是从一个大学生的角度探讨如何才能快乐的问题。
   主体段落共三个自然段，第二段指出无论从事何种职业我们需要确定一个现实的目标，并且论述了目标不现实会使人们不快乐的原因。第三自然段的主题句(A realistic target does not ensure happiness unless we make efforts to realize it)承上启下，指出快乐存在于对现实目标的追求之中。需要指出的是，作者提到在追求目标过程中可能需要面对很多困难，但强调一个意志坚定的人能够从克服困难的过程中得到快乐(…but a strong-willed person always finds enjoyment in conquering difficulties．)，这就使得支撑句和主题句在内容上相互统一。第四段的首句(As the pursuit of a realistic target is never a lone flight，the right way to get along with the people around us is another major contribution to happiness．)很好地实现了两个段落之间的过渡，既照顾到上文又引出了新的话题：与人友好相处也是一个人能够获取快乐的关键因素之一。
   文章的最后总结部分虽然文字不多，却很好地概括了主体段落讨论的内容。
