Not long ago, I opened an interesting e-mail from Jennifer, a friend of mine. “I’ve realized I want to be around people who make me happy,” she wrote, “I’ve been seeing how I feel after communicating with different people and making a mental list of who I feel good about. And you’re on my list.”
Then she invited me — and 11 other women— to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. We’d chat, eat, and watch feel-good movies. She made it clear in her invitation that there was no stress to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! I e-mailed her back immediately. I was in.
Later, Jennifer told me she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation. Though all the women were willing to join, some said they didn’t see themselves as cheerful people. “I’ve told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.
Research shows that gatherings such as Jennifer’s make sense. In a US study, researchers measured(測量) the happiness of 4739 people at regular intervals (間隔) over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on(取決于) the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly, it also found that happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! And those good feelings seem to be the most contagious (傳染性的) among friends of the same sex.
“People with more supportive friends are less likely to develop sadness,” says Dr Toupey Luft, a psychologist in Penticyon, British Columbia. “Though you can’t choose your family or workmates, you do have control over friendships.” With a little effort, you can add more positive(樂觀的) relationships to your social circle. Here’s how…
小題1:How many people did Jennifer invite?
A．1B．11 C．12D．13
小題2:What kind of things can you do on Jennifer’s movie night?
A．Gathering and measuring happiness among friends.
B．Chatting, eating and watching feel-good movies.
C．Being cheerful all the time.
D．Showing up stress.
小題3:What do the underlined words mean?
A．有意義B．有鑒賞力C．有感覺D．制造氣氛
小題4:Which of the following is right?
A．Jennifer was puzzled with her invitation.
B．All the women who were invited are cheerful people.
C．Jennifer invited people who are cheerful around her all the time.
D．People with more supportive friends seem to be more positive than people who don’t.
小題5:Can you guess what will be talked about in the following passage?
A．Why it is important to pick friends who make you feel good.
B．How to make friends who make you feel good.
C．What kinds of friends you should not make.
D．How you can find your social circle.
