Happiness is contagious (有感染力的), as researchers reported on Thursday.

People with the most social connections — spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives — were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier,” Christakis said.

“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanity, like an American patch quilt.”

Each person sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you,” Christakis said.

“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”

And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.

“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent, ” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent,” he added.

A happy third degree friend — the friend of a friend of a friend — increases a person’s chances of being happy by 6 percent.

“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you’ll be unhappy by 7 percent,” Fowler said.

The finding is interesting and it is useful, too, Fowler said.

“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心脏的) function. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to develop a healthier society,” he said.

The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person’s chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.

“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,” Christakis said.

1.It can be inferred that________.

A．happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappiness

B．unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happiness

C．happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappiness

D．the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers

2.Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?

A．Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.

B．A happy experience of your brother or your parents.

C．A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.

D．Happiness of your friend’s friend.

3.What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000”?

A．A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $ 20,000.

B．A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $ 20,000.

C．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.

D．A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8 %.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the best machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem(自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to have over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can control your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

1.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.

A. are easily affected by windy weather       　　　　

B. are ready to change their minds

C. don’t have the power to face their fate      　

D. can’t control themselves

2. Losers would think that ______.

A. their failure is only because of bad luck  　　

B. they don’t make efforts to succeed

D. success is the result of hard work

3.It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.

A. success is a chance

B. We are what we make us

C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind

D. developing confidence is the only way to future success

4.The last paragraph serves as ______.

A. the proof of the author’s points
