The most popular course at Yale is Psych 157: Psychology and the Good Life, covering the science of happiness and how to apply it. Since its launch in 2018 by Professor Laurie Santos, the course has been taken by a quarter of Yale students and more than 200,000 others in its online version. ___16___
When chasing happiness, many of us are trying to be a little gentler with ourselves and assigning a priority to self-care. That’s a sensible strategy, Santos agrees. The trouble is how people understand self-care. We assume that self-care looks like a nice bubble bath - or even selfish pursuits. ___17___ We actually get more out of being more open, more social and more other-oriented (以他人为中心的) than spending money on ourselves.
Santos isn’t the only scientist insisting that you focus more on kindness to others than kindness to yourself. Research out of Oxford University confirms that even tiny acts of kindness can have significant effects on our happiness. ___18___ They boost mental well-being in the wider community. If you want to stay happy, focus less on self-indulgence (自我放纵) and more on kindness.
___19___ Everyone has made a silly decision or two. I myself have lived and learned from more than a few. It’s not the mistakes that matter. It’s how we deal with them. What we can do is to learn from the poor choices, terrible ideas and bad decisions of the past and not repeat them. We can also learn from the mistakes of others and avoid them. ___20___ And we can make all the bumps and bruises (磕磕碰碰) count for something.
A. Apparently, we all have a thirst for happiness.
B. Self-care is the foundation for caring about others.
C. Finally, to pursue happiness, learn from mistakes.
D. Getting them down on paper will help us avoid mistakes.
E. And other studies show small acts of kindness can spread out.
F. Therefore, we can save the unavoidable pain in life for what’s worthwhile.
G. But data suggest the right way to treat ourselves would be to do nice things for others.

When it comes to getting ahead, is IQ or EQ more important A thought experiment conducted featuring butterflies and geniuses settles the question once and for all.
___16___ So if you asked people whether they’d rather be a butterfly or a genius, I’m betting most people wouldn’t hesitate before choosing genius. But butterflies are also social creatures, often gathering in groups. The experiment points out just how big an advantage friendliness can be.
Imagine two groups of people. We’ll call them the Geniuses and the Butterflies for short. ___17___ They come up with one ground-breaking invention every 10 human lifetimes. The Butterflies aren’t nearly as bright. They take 1,000 lifetimes to come up with a world-changing invention.
But what the Butterflies lack in cognitive(认知)horsepower, they make up for in social skills. ___18___ However, the egghead Geniuses are a little awkward. They only have one friend. Now imagine everyone goes about their business trying to learn about cool, new inventions, either by figuring them out for themselves or learning about them from friends. ___19___ The one where the people are a hundred times smarter(the Geniuses)or the one where they’re 10 times more social(the Butterflies)
Well, communicating ideas within a group might not feel as impressive as coming up with brilliant ideas alone in a corner. Chatty Cathys(滔滔不绝的人)clearly have less cultural mystery than Nobel winners. But without them, new ideas don’t spread fast enough to-make big impact. ___20___
This fascinating thought experiment is good news for the communicators and connectors of the world, but it’s also a valuable lesson for anyone putting-together a team.
A. Which society does better
B. Each Butterfly has 10 friends.
C. The Geniuses are, well, geniuses.
D. Butterflies are pretty but lacking in strength.
E. Is it hard for the experiment to draw a conclusion
F. In terms of group success, EQ matters more than raw IQ.
G. The Butterflies shouldn’t be compared with the Geniuses.
