五、任务型阅读
(原创)Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation! You enjoy a delicious breakfast, take a walk on the beach, and read the morning newspaper as you drink coffee. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this, you're not alone. It turns out that having unlimited (无限的) free time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount (数量) of free time for our happiness
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data (数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data, the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day was not enough to be happy. People who had two hours of free time a day usually had more stress. It means that they were simply too busy with work to get their happiness. The fact that being too busy cuts happiness is true. It might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better.
Surprisingly, having a lot of free time is not a panacea (灵丹妙药) for happiness. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. Having more than five hours of free time a day makes us lose the sense of joy. It is in fact cutting our happiness.
But I think it is how we spend our free time that matters. When free time is used in more active ways, like playing a team sport for five or more hours a day, it can keep or even produce happiness. However, spending five or more hours of free time alone can stop happiness.
