Passage 9(原创题)
Nowadays, many people choose to continue working in their spare time because of much pressure from supporting their families. A new interesting study in The Lancet found that people who enjoy doing exercise have a greater sense of happiness than those who don't.
Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data collected from more than 1.2 million Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt uncomfortable because of mental(精神的) problems in the past 30 days?” They were also asked about their exercise habits,

such as doing housework and childcare, running, playing basketball and riding bicycles.
The researchers found that the people who often exercise feel bad for an average(平均) of 35 days per year while the people doing little exercise feel bad for an additional(额外的) 18 days. From the study, people who exercised had 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health in the past month than people who did not exercise. All exercise types can lead to a lower mental health burden.
Social activities for exercising like team sports had an even more ____ result. Because team members encourage each other, it makes sports more enjoyable. In addition, competition in the team can help improve the quality of sports.
It is possible to get too much exercise. From Business Insider's write-up on the study, “Those who exercised more than three hours a day had worse mental health than those who did not.” The correct amount seems to last 30 to 60 minutes three to five times a week. All types of exercise will bring lower mental health burden than no exercise.
