五、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
①Do you live in a city You've probably noticed how noisy and crowded cities can be. What if you could live next to a calm lake or river instead
②As it turns out, living near water, such as oceans, lakes, rivers or ponds, can help us feel both happier and healthier. Those who live less than a kilometre from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental(精神的) problems than those who live 50km or more away, according to a study researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. People who visit the coast at least twice a week tend to experience better health as well.
③So how does“blue space”make us feel better For one thing, aquatic(与水相关的)environments usually have less pollution and more sunlight. Both of them have something to do with better mental and physical health(身心健康).People who get more sun are usually happier than those who do not.
④There's also the air above the sea. After spending time near the ocean, you might find that you feel more relaxed than usual. This is because sea air is charged(带电的)with negative ions(负离子). These ions balance our levels of serotonin(血清素)，a body chemical that has an effect on our mood. With balanced(平衡的) serotonin levels, we feel calmer and more relaxed.
⑤Finally, people who live near water are more active. They would like to do more sports. Water sports like swimming and rowing can help us stay in shape, which in turn keeps us healthy.
