Compared with the texts we learned before, this was a longer（long）article which had 16 paragraphs. There were so many new words I had not mastered that (and)I should look up then by dictionary(look them up in a dictionary), which cost me a lot of time. Besides, the difficult grammar troubled me a lot. Frequently, I could not understand the sentences without reading it for several times.
Because of these two reasons, it was more than one hour later when I finished reading. At the beginning, I was very careful and serious. I read it word by word, but there were too many words for me to look up, so it was not smoothly (smooth) when I was reading. Gradually, I was (was刪去)fed up with doing it. The interest of reading it firstly was disappeared. Ultimately, it was the sense of finishing a task that instead of the interest.
After I read the article, I supposed that I had（have）basically known how to find happiness and measure whether a person had（had刪去）own (owned) it or not.
