阅读A、B、C、D四篇材料，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。"Happiness is a habit," says Talia Soen, CEO of Happy Things, a platform (平台) that helps you develop those habits through daily lives. "Many people think happiness is hard to achieve, but we want to make it easy to understand and teachable." she says, "Let's examine the habits of happy people."
The experience of joy is related to the good, meaningful life. Happiness can be found in the small moments of our daily lives. For example, showing thankful feeling has been proved to increase happiness. Take a moment to think about the help you receive from others and thank them deeply. It can bring great joy to your life.
Reducing stress can improve your overall happiness. It's not a good idea to worry about too much. Soen suggests that spending time in nature is helpful for stress reduction. Even if you don't have time or access to go outdoors all year round, you can feel better by listening to nature sounds. And a study has shown that people feel less stressed if they have two to five hours of free time every day.
"There have been several studies on happiness and exercise," Soen says. "Many studies show that our happiness levels are influenced by moving our bodies a little bit more." The exact reason remains unclear, but even short periods of exercise can achieve this. As Soen mentioned earlier, exercising outdoors can have a double influence.
Having strong social relationships, such as friends, family, or other meaningful connections, can contribute to happiness. These relationships provide support when you need it. A researcher says, "Happy people spend more time with their friends and family members and are simply around other people more often." So, why not have lunch with your family or reach out to an old friend?
As you can see, happiness is all around us as long as we develop good habits.
