To start a conversation about the secret to happiness, ABC News' health editor Dr. Richard Besser hosted a Twitter chat Tuesday. Experts from the National Institutes of Health, Mayo Clinic, Harvard University and TEDMED, as well as clinicians and people from across the country, joined the one-hour discussion. There are countless ways to measure happiness. With research on the topic increasing, researchers have carried out surveys to study people's sense of well-being.
Angela Haupt, health and wellness editor for U.S. News and World Report, said, “Happiness indicators include life satisfaction, health and community engagement.”
@toddkashdan added that, “despite problems with self-reports, there is no better way to measure happiness than focusing on personal thoughts and feelings.”
While scientists try to find out what caused happiness, others often believe that true joy doesn't exist. Dr Friedman, a psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Hospital, said that “happiness is hard to measure, but easy to recognize.”
Still, common themes about satisfaction come up in these conversations. Finding meaning in daily work was important. Indeed, researchers have found that having creative and purposeful work to do is a key factor in happiness. But people were quick to state the importance of balancing work and family obligations.
Chat participants(参与者) agreed that money does not surely bring happiness. And studies agree once people's basic needs like food and housing are met, higher incomes do little to improve your happiness. At last, people found value in their connections with others. Research shows that having support through friends, family, and social networks can bring happiness. Many agree with @drmommy, who said “I measure my happiness by the loving people that are around me.”
So, can we increase our happiness Expressing gratitude(感激) is a possible way of feeling happiness. Researchers have found that people who regularly write down things for which they are grateful in “gratitude journals” have increased satisfaction in life, higher energy levels, and improved health. In one study, people who read a letter of appreciation to someone in their lives prove happier almost one month later. Performing acts of kindness can raise your moods
Data show that our relationships matter, too. People who are interested in meaningful conversations with friends or family are reported to be happier than those who don't. Close interpersonal ties and strong social support are important for happiness.
(1)Dr Friedman may agree that ________.
A.happiness can be measured by health
B.happiness can never be measured
C.it's easy to see whether one is happy
D.it's hard to seek for happiness
(2)It can be learnt that @drmommy measures his happiness by ________.
A.health
B.purposeful work
C.meaningful work
D.friends' support
(3)We can learn from the passage that money can affect your happiness if you are relatively______.
A.poor
B.sensitive
C.unhealthy
D.hopeless
(4)What's the main purpose of the passage
A.To introduce us the results of a chat
B.To give us some advice on improving happiness
C.To correct the misunderstanding of happiness
D.To remind us to find the secret to happiness

42.【答案】 Dear Mom and Dad,
Since I entered senior high school, I've sensed some changes at home. For one thing, whenever I try to help you with some housework, you'll ask me to go back to my study, saying that my study is the most important thing for me. For another, you dare not make any noise at home, fearing it would make me unhappy and unable to put my heart into my study.
I know how you feel, but I don't expect our family life goes this way. To begin with, I hope to see our family filled with laughter, which can certainly provide a nice environment for me. Besides, doing some housework can help me get away from my study for a short time.
Yours
