Research shows it's a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender (性別) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons (鏡像神經(jīng)元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people's view, to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciationwhich has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women's happiness is more dependent on relationships than men's.【語篇解讀】本文從社會(huì)、生理和心理三個(gè)方面介紹了男性和女性在幸福感上存在的差異。1Which feeling are men more likely

and naturally”相對(duì)，故C項(xiàng)正確。2A根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)以及空處所在的位置可知，空處為該段的主題；結(jié)合本段內(nèi)容尤其是下文中的“indicates that what you're saying is important”“stresses a personal point”可知，該段主要陳述“肢體語言有時(shí)表示某事物的重要性”，故A項(xiàng)正確。3B根據(jù)空前的“Openness or honesty”可知，該段主要陳述肢體語言表明的第二種含義：表示開放或誠(chéng)實(shí)(的心態(tài))，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中對(duì)應(yīng)的“to be open or honest”可知，B項(xiàng)正確。4E根據(jù)該段主題句“Nervousness”可知，該段主要陳述肢體語言表明的第三種含義：緊張。結(jié)合本段內(nèi)容和下文中的“and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front of the body”可知，空處應(yīng)是陳述另一種表示緊張的肢體語言形式，故E項(xiàng)正確。5D根據(jù)該段第二句“Arms folded tightly over the chest is a classic gesture of defensiveness and indicates that you are protecting yourself”可知，雙臂緊緊地交叉在胸前是一種典型的防御姿勢(shì)，表明你在保護(hù)自己。再結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，雙臂緊緊地交叉在胸前僅僅說明你很寒冷，故D項(xiàng)正確。.語法填空(2019·惠州市第二次調(diào)研)One habit of those people who are smarter than everyone else is to stay

As I know, you are always interested in Chinese culture and want to learn some Chinese. Therefore, I suggest that you choose Chinese daily dialogue as a start, like greeting people, asking for directions and bargaining for souvenirs, which can help you a lot during your trip.Learning a foreign language needs great efforts.
