When your friend has a bad day, what will you...

When your friend has a bad day, what will you do to comfort him or her? Hugging can help them feel better, Time reported.

According to scientists from Carnegie Melon University in the US, hugs can be good for a person’s mood and stress levels. Hugging can increase positive（积极的）feelings and reduce negative（消极的）feelings.

Researchers talked to about 400 people. They asked them about their mood, whether they had any conflicts（冲突）with others and if they had a hug that day.

They found that when people experienced conflicts but didn’t get any hugs, they reported more negative feelings. But when people had both on the same day, they reported more positive feelings and fewer negative feelings.

When you receive a hug, your body releases a certain hormone（荷尔蒙）. This hormone lowers blood pressure, as well as reduces stress and anxiety（焦虑）, Michael Murphy from Carnegie Melon told Time.

Of course, hugging is not the only way to comfort others. People sometimes give advice or just try to solve the other person’s problems directly. However, doing these things might make people feel like they’re being criticized（批评）, But physical contact like hugging “makes people feel like they are cared about and have someone who is there for them,” Murphy said. “But that doesn’t make any judgments（about right or wrong）.”

1.According to Time, what can improve someone’s mood?

___________________________________________________________.

2.Did researchers ask about 400 people about their mood?

_____________, ______________________________________________.

3.When people had both on the same day, they reported ... Here what did “both” refer to（指的是）?

4.What is Michael Murphy?

5.What other ways do you think can comfort others besides hugging?

What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?

Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount (数量) of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong sunlight or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.

Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.

1.Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?

A.Because they can’t go outside. B.Because they get less sunlight.

C.Because the weather is too cold. D.Because the summer is too short.

2.How can sunlight change the way you feel?

A.On a sunny day, you can play outside. B.Sunlight makes you less tired.

C.Sunlight increases your body temperature. D.Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.

3.What’s the main point of Paragraph 2?

A.It is better to live in the south. B.Southern people feel much happier.

C.Sunlight can control our feelings. D.Northern people often feel unhappy.

4.________ will not make you feel happier according to the passage.

A.Eating more B.Exercising more

C.Getting more sleep D.Getting more sunlight

5.What is the best title for this passage?

A.Why Is Sunlight Good for You? B.How Can Exercise Help You?

C.Ways to Feel Happier D.Functions of Exercising More
