1. Laugh out loud.

Just expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones (荷爾蒙) and lower production of stress hormones.

When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent.

2. Do one thing at a time.

Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. ___【3】__ Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation.

3. __【4】____

Although relationships help take away stress sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore.

【2】F

【4】B

【4】A

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇說明文，介紹了幾種可以幸福的方法。

【1】G根據(jù)前一句 “Here are four ideas to get you started”可以知道在這里面應(yīng)該是表示一種順承的關(guān)系。根據(jù)這種關(guān)系得出答案是G Choose the ones that work for you. 選擇一個適合你的方法。

【2】F 根據(jù)下一句” they actually watched the video..”的關(guān)鍵詞“they” 及選項F They started experiencing biological changes right away的關(guān)鍵詞they 匹配，所以答案選F。

【3】C 根據(jù)上一句“Edward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure.”的關(guān)鍵詞”found發(fā)現(xiàn)”及選項C Take that finding to heart.的關(guān)鍵詞finding（發(fā)現(xiàn)），可以得出答案是C。

【4】B 根據(jù)下文的描述Although relationships help take away stress sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie 關(guān)鍵詞是relationship ，own和take yourself. 這些和B spend time alone 中的alone獨自一人是匹配的，所以答案是B。

【4】A 根據(jù)下文的描述“focus on the here and now” 關(guān)鍵詞是here and now，也就是當(dāng)前，這與A Focus on the present.的意思是一致的。
