Reading

texts? (3 marks)
a Money cant buy happiness
b Exercise is the key to happiness.
c What makes us happy?

There has been a lot of research into

happiness. Researchers found that many
people believe that money, a dream job or a
big house will make them happy.

Scientists found that people feel happier

when they have an experience rather than
when they buy something. For example,
buying something that you want will make
you happy for about two weeks. However, the
feelings created from having an enjoyable
experience, like spending time with friends or
family, are longer lasting than when we buy
something.

Did you know that exercise can make you

happy? Researchers did experiments with
people suffering from depression. The people
were asked to do just 30 minutes of exercise
a day, like walking, running, swimming or
cycling. The results showed a significant
improvement in their mood after doing
exercise.

Hobbies are also important for well-being.

Hobbies can make you healthier because
they reduce stress by making you forget
about problems and focusing your mind on
something else. Hobbies are also a great way
to make new friends. Sharing a common
interest can make you feel connected to
