這是一篇議論文。文章就如何過(guò)上幸福的生活提出了一些建議。

【1】根據(jù)后文Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, are more likely to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, have stronger immune systems and even live longer.可知樂(lè)觀主義者得心臟病或中風(fēng)的幾率要低35%，飲食健康，經(jīng)常鍛煉，免疫系統(tǒng)更強(qiáng)，甚至更長(zhǎng)壽。由此可知，保持樂(lè)觀，看到生活的光明面對(duì)個(gè)人的身體有好處。故C選項(xiàng)“看到生活的光明面對(duì)你有好處”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)上文Start volunteering.可知開(kāi)始志愿服務(wù)。由此可知，本句承接上文說(shuō)明做志愿服務(wù)的原因和好處是志愿活動(dòng)可以減輕壓力和抑郁。上文中volunteering可對(duì)應(yīng)到G選項(xiàng)中volunteering。故G選項(xiàng)“研究表明，志愿活動(dòng)可以減輕壓力和抑郁”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選G。

【3】根據(jù)上文One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a journal.可知讓感恩成為你生活的一部分的最好方法之一就是寫(xiě)日記。由此可知，本句承接上文說(shuō)明在日記中可以寫(xiě)下些什么內(nèi)容。其中上文中journal可對(duì)應(yīng)到E選項(xiàng)中diary，二者為同義詞“日記”。故E選項(xiàng)“你可以在日記中記下一些積極的經(jīng)歷”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選E。

【4】根據(jù)后文People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier.可知與家庭、朋友和社區(qū)的社會(huì)聯(lián)系越緊密的人越快樂(lè)。由此可知，本句建議的是加強(qiáng)社會(huì)聯(lián)系可以讓人更快樂(lè)。故B選項(xiàng)“加強(qiáng)社會(huì)聯(lián)系”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選B。

【5】結(jié)合上文People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier. They re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less connected. High-conflict marriages, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for health, perhaps worse than getting divorced.可知與家庭、朋友和社區(qū)的社會(huì)聯(lián)系越緊密的人越快樂(lè)。他們身體更健康，比那些與外界聯(lián)系較少的人活得更長(zhǎng)。沒(méi)有太多感情的高沖突的婚姻對(duì)健康非常不利，可能比離婚更糟糕。由此可知，與那些與外界聯(lián)系較少的人和沒(méi)有太多感情的高沖突的婚姻情況相反的是，良好的人際關(guān)系對(duì)健康有益。故D選項(xiàng)“相反，良好的人際關(guān)系對(duì)健康有益”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，故選D。
