浙江省杭州锦绣育才中学附属学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期9月月考英语试卷
In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today's city life, people may feel uncomfortable talking to neighbors they do not know well in line at the supermarket. But greeting your neighbors is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey.
Saying hello to people increases well- being(幸福), but six is the magic number. The well- being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are part of the Gallup National Health and Well- Being Index which studies overall well- being and is calculated on a scale of (在……范围内)0 to 100. The survey was carried out from May 30th to June 6th, 2023 and was based on the answers from 4,556 Americans. It covered social well- being, physical well- being, community well- being and more. People who said they didn't say hello to anyone in their neighborhood scored a 51.5. People who greeted six neighbors had a score of 64.1.
You might think that saying hello to neighbors is only about social well- being, but that actually isn't the case. In fact, regular(经常的) greetings also improve a person's physical well- being and community well-being. ▲ You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your community is safe. Your physical well- being can improve if you are getting out and walking around your neighborhood.
" We don't require that you know the person well; just stop and talk to him," said Dan Witters, the survey's director." But the more people to whom you say hello, the greater the probability is that you' re actually going to start a conversation with them."
While this is just a survey for now, saying hello on a regular basis is a good way to improve your own well- being.
