We all have our own tricks to cheer up when we’re feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day. While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse (配偶) purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.
The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by National Trust’s and Surrey University’s researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (磁共振成像) scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.
“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head of research for the National Trust.
The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, as opposed to the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.
Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before — the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.
Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the research, saying, “For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before.”
1.How was the research conducted?
A. By performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers.
B. By measuring the participants, brain by MRI.
C. By doing rough interviews with the participants.
D. By showing meaningful objects to the participants.
2.How would the author feel about the findings of the study?
A. It is pioneering. B. It is groundless.
C. It is imperfect. D. It is uncommon.
3.What does the underlined phrase “weighed in on” mean?
A. Think highly of. B. Look down on.
C. Pay attention to. D. Make fun of.
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Everyone has his way to be happy.
B. Valuable places can make people happy.
C. Teddy bears are best memories for children.
D. Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being.

A
The old lady got up early to be ready for the post．Although she seldom received letters or parcels，today she was sure there would be something．Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times．Of course Myra was busy．Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged．
The old lady was eighty today．She had put on her best dress．Perhaps Myra might come．The old lady was sure of that．Two spots of color brightened her cheeks．She was excited--like a child．She would enjoy her day．

“No parcel，Johnnie?”
“No，granny．”
Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post．That was it．It would come later by parcel post．She must be patient．
But disappointment flooded her．She tore the envelope open unwillingly．A cheque fell to the floor like a bird with a broken、wing．Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up．With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits．
