The French are followed by the Americans and the Spanish, with both nations sleeping around eight and a half hours per day. However, with an hour fewer than the French, Japanese and Korean people sleep the least among the 30 member countries of the OECD, around seven hours and 50 minutes a day.

“The French, who are known worldwide for their cooking skills, also spend more time eating than anyone else and it nearly doubles that of Americans, Canadians or Mexicans，” the OECD, a club of many developed countries, says. They spend more than two hours a day eating, followed by the New Zealanders and Japanese, who also spend close to two hours daily at the table. In Italy, which is another country with a worldwide cooking reputation (名声), and Belgium, people spend around one hour and 50 minutes a day eating. Spaniards, Germans and Swedes also spend more than an hour and a half a day eating, while Finns, Norwegians and Britons spend the least time at the table (around one hour and 20 minutes)．

Their way of life seems to have a big effect on French people's life time, since they are among the top three nations living the longest, together with the Japanese and Spaniards. An average Japanese woman lives to almost 86 years, while a man lives to 79. French and Spanish women live up to 84.4 years, and men 77.3 and 77.7 years. Hungarians are the European OECD nation living the shortest lives, with women's life time at 77.4 years and men's at 69.

In this digital age, people measure their popularity by the number of likes and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality - not high quantity.

Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial (关系浅表的) friends.

“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with　 how you feel about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers.

Bruine de Bruin found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles tended to be closer to them.

Younger people, on the other hand, tended to have bigger circles that were made up of “peripheral (次要的) others” - people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These people had no influence on the happiness of the younger surveyed.

The results of the study show that the prejudice society has about old people being sad and　 lonely might not be accurate.

“The research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn’t undermine (破坏) social satisfaction and well-being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults,” said Bruine de Bruin.

1.According to the study, people are likely to be happier when they　　　　　　 .

A.have a lot of followers on social media

B.are satisfied with their work and lives

C.make friends with people who are older

D.have a small circle of people who understand them well

2.What do we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5?

A.Older people’s friends seem to be of higher quality.

B.Young people don't need to make peripheral friends.

C.Older people's happiness has nothing to do with their friends.

D.Both old and young people find it hard to make close friends.

3.Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults?

A.Superficial. B.Happy.

C.Lonely. D.Sad.

4.What is the main topic of the passage?

A.Different types of friends.

B.Changes in people's happiness levels.

C.The relationship between happiness and number of friends.

D.Interactions between old and young people.
