enjoyable way.

Science has proved hugs are good for you.Hugs and other forms of
physical touch can help with physical and mental health in people of all ages,
according to a new review of 212 previous studies.
"We realized the importance of touch as a health intervention(),but
despite many studies,it was not clear how to use it the best way,what effects

can be expected specifically(具体地),and what the influencing factors(因紫)
are,"says Julian Packheiser from Ruhr University Bochum.
This new research,covering 12,966 participants across all of the various
studies,provided some clear answers.Touch was shown to help reduce
feelings of pain,depression and anxiety ()And the positive effect was
observed in both children and adults.
While the type of touch doesn't seem to matter too much,touching on the
head or face appears to work best.The study shows that shorter and more
often touches result in more positive reactions.
Interestingly,touches from inanimate objects-blankets,pillows,or even
robots-can help in terms of physical health,but they're not so good for
mental health.Touches from humans and animals are likely to be beneficial
both physically and mentally.
Newborns benefit from touch too,but the positive influence is greater
when the touch comes from a parent,the research found.As we get older,
whether or not the touch is from someone we know well becomes less
important.
For many of us though,spending more time in physical contact with
others can improve many aspects of our health."If you feel like hugging
family or friends-don't hold back,"says Packheiser.
14.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of touch according
to the review of 212 studies?
A.Improved social skills.
B.Improved mental health.
C.Reduced feelings of pain.
D.Reduced anxiety levels.
15.What type of touch seems to be most effective according to the research?
A.Only human touch shows positive effects.
B.Touching on any body part is equally effective.
C.Touch on the head or face works best.
D.The study did not mention a specific type of touch as most effective.
16.What does the underlined word "inanimate"in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Moving.
B.Smart.
C.Living.
D.Lifeless.
17.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The importance of physical touch for newborns.
B.The positive influences of touch on health across all ages.
C.The various factors influencing the benefits of touch.
D.The value of human touch compared to inanimate objects.

How can travelling make you feel better?
In modern life,stress has become a problem for many people.According
to a survey made in 2023,91%of adults experienced high levels of stress.
Wellness tourism is becoming more and more popular.People hope to
seek peace and rejuvenation in our holiday experiences.
Dr Gee says,"The influence on feeling good from a holiday is the
strongest on the eighth day."18 However,the benefits of a holiday last
even after it ends.Dr Gee stresses the importance of preparing for the trip.
"The preparation can also help improve feelings of joy and happiness.It
often has more benefits in brain activity than the holiday itself.19"
The change of scenery and adventurous nature of a holiday can lead to
the whole change in our brain.,causing the releases of dopamine(多巴胶),as
well as serotonin(血清素)and adrenaline(肾上腺素).This effect of holidays has
created a new travel trend一dopamine(多巴肢)travel..We often see that
going for a holiday increases feelings of well-being,as well as increases in
general activity level.20 This is particularly true for outdoor trips,such
as climbing mountain or skiing,where a sense of achievement can lead to
self-confidence.
Just as the "dopamine dressing"trend encourages clothing in bright
colors,our surroundings can also play an important role.Oliver Brendon,
CEO of AttractionTickets.com adds,"The dopamine travel trend focuses on
enjoying bright and colorful places."And the brightly-coloured theme parks
have become popular destinations(目的地)._21 Moreover,.you're set for a
lot of dopamine while riding popular roller coasters.
A.Therefore,planning your holidays well in advance is very important.
B.You can choose experiences like swimming with sea life.
C.Among theme parks,Walt Disney World is the most popular.
D.She thinks holidays should last eight days so that we can get the most
benefits.
E.These positive benefits can last up to eight weeks after holiday.

Habits of a Happy Brain provides a detailed introduction to the four
chemicals responsible for our happiness:dopamine(多巴胺),serotonin(血请素),
endorphin(内啡肽)and oxytocin(催产素).The book explores the mechanics of
what makes us happy and why,as well as why some bad things make us feel so
g00d.
22.Everybody wants to be happy.In fact,if we had our way,most of us
would always be happy.Several structures in our brain manage all of the
chemicals responsible for our happiness.Whenever we sense something,our
brain makes a quick reaction to"decide"whether or not something is worth a
spurt (of happy chemicals.These happy chemicals,dopamine,endorphin,
oxytocin and serotonin,are released each time we see something that is good
for our survival.
23.The happy chemical dopamine is released whenever you expect a
reward,and it's what inspires you to keep seeking it.Another happy
chemical,endorphin,is triggered by physical pain.Of course,physical pain
does not make us happy.Endorphin,however,serves to hide the pain to help
you keep going.Oxytocin lets us enjoy our social lives,and oxytocin plays a
central role all throughout our social development.Of course,our social
relationships are highly varied.Specifically,serotonin is released when we
assert our position in the social hierarchy by dominating others.
24.Our unhappy chemicals are also important to our survival.We might
not enjoy bad feelings,but the feelings are as important as the positive
emotions.Cortisol is one such chemical.Cortisol grabs our attention whenever
our survival is threatened.For example,cortisol is released whenever you're
hungry,letting your brain to look for ways to mollify this feeling.Here,the
solution is easy-just go to the fridge and fix up a snack!
25.In fact,it takes only 45 days to construct a new neural (pathway

to happiness.At first it won't feel good to do something new instead of
something you know you love-watching your favorite TV show has more
appeal than studying.But if you persist,your newly formed habit will
reconnect your brain so that it releases happy chemicals whenever you do this
new target action.Using this 45-day strategy,you can increase the number of
habitual activities in your life that trigger the release of happy chemicals.
26.Don't be like those people who second guess every decision they've
made,always looking back to find missed opportunities.This will only trigger
unhappy chemicals!Managing your own happiness means not letting others
make decisions for you.Some people believe that it's best to let others take
control.This way,they never have to take the blame for any bad outcomes.
But when you let others choose for you,you won't experience the joy and
sense of accomplishment that comes with pursuing your goals.Not only that,
but your brain always wants what it doesn't have,no matter who is making
the decisions!
A.By constantly making decisions,you are responsible for your own happy
chemicals.
B.Different chemicals have different function.
C.We feel happy when our brain release some chemicals
D.Happy chemicals are as equally important as unhappy chemicals.
E.We can reconnect our brains in order to enjoy things that are good for
us.

The generation born after 1995,known as Gen Z,became the first
generation to grow up with a device in their pocket.It pulled them away from

many hours each day scrolling through the shiny happy posts of friends,
acquaintances and strangers.They also watch an increasing amount()of
user-generated videos and streamed entertainment.
A big reason for the change was boys playing online multiplayer games in
the late 2000s and using smartphones in the early 2010s.These activities
pulled them away from face-to-face communication.From the early 2010s,
boys in many Western countries began to show signs of poorer mental health.
By 2015,many of these boys said that they had no close friends.They felt
lonely,and thought that there was no meaning or direction in their lives.
However,we are not helpless to change this situation.It might feel like we
can't do anything because smartphones,social media and social influence
trap us in a collective action problem.When boys start secondary school,they
face this problem.On their first day,they see some of their classmates with
smartphones and are connecting on Instagram and Snapchat,even during
class time.That puts pressure on them to get a smartphone and social media
as well.
