In fact,I did some research into whether (sunshine does make us happier.I found that people may feel a bit unhappier in winter because the sunlight is not enough in the season. Sunlight causes your body to produce the serotonin(血清素).It can affect(影响)your mood and your sleep.When you're in the sun your body will make more serotonin.It will make you feel better and full of energy. 试卷第22页，共8页 However,many people who work indoors may not get enough sunlight.This is why getting outside in the sunshine is a great way to improve your mood. Your skin produces Vitamin D from sunlight,and this is important for strong bones and being healthy.From April to September,most people in the UK make enough Vitamin D from sunshine alone.In winter. however,you won't get enough from sunshine.That is why the UK government recommends that everyone should try taking Vitamin D in autumn and winter. Please remember that while sunlight are good for us in many ways,it's also important to be safe in the sun. This means wearing a hat and sunglasses,and avoiding being in direct sunlight for too long.And never look at the Sun directly-that's very dangerous. 14.How did the writer start the passage? A.By playing a game. B.By introducing others'studies. C.By showing a picture. D.By sharing his own experiences 15.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Why sunlight makes us happier. B.Why people should work outdoors. C.How serotonin affects people's mood. D.How much serotonin can make us happier. 16.What does the UK government recommend? A.Getting enough outdoor activities in winter. B.Making your skin produce more Vitamin D. C.Taking some Vitamin D in autumn and winter. D.Saving more sunlight from April to September 17.Which of the following may the writer agree with? A.Keeping away from the sun B.Wearing sunglasses all the time C.Keeping safe when enjoying sunlight D.Staying in the sun as long as possible. 0 Mary went to see Colin the next moming.He looked sad and tired and his face was white.Mary knew that this was the moment to tell him everything.
