①Everybody enjoys acts of kindness (善.举). But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool to make us more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's moods(情绪). But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

②Firstly, being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling too, especially for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good.

③Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.

④ Thirdly, in another research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits.

⑤Lastly, the story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn't it?
