• 3．Gratitude is more than just saying 'thank you' to someone who has helped us or given us a gift.Gratitude is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion.And this positive emotion can be good for our health- our emotional and physical health，as well as the health of our relationships.
     Let's start by looking at the emotional or mental health benefits of expressing gratitude.There have been many studies，as described in a 2018 paper from the Greater Good Science Center tiled"The Science of Gratitude'，showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person or wing in a gratitude journal，if done regularly improves mental health.One reason for this，is that gratitude stops us from rethinking on unpleasure，negative emotions，and writing a 'thank you' letter，for example，shifts our attention so that we focus on positive emotions.But even if we don't share our writing with anyone，like in a journal，the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life.And this gets better with time.As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positive，after several weeks or months，this becomes more intuitive（凭直觉的）.And so，the more we express gratitude，the more positive we feel.
     Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies.There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality，better eating habits，and reduced inflammation（炎症） in people who have had heart problems.So gratitude is clearly good for us，but is it also good for the people in our lives？
     The simple answer is'yes'.When shared 一spoken or written一gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too.Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships一be it with family，partners，friends or even colleagues.And that's on top of all the other ways-gratitude is clearly good for us.Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead？
  
  （1）What can we do regularly to improve our mental health according to Para.2？

  
  A．Giving gifts.
  B．Keeping diaries.
  C．Sharing our stories.
  D．Writing thank -you letters.
  （2）What are the benefits of gratitude practice from some studies？

  
  A．Higher sleep quality.
  B．Worse eating habits.
  C．Keeping good figure.
  D．Preventing heart problems.
  （3）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．We should express gratitude better.
  B．We should focus on positive emotions.
  C．Gratitude is good for our emotional or mental health.
  D．Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships.
  （4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？

  
  A．Entertainment.
  B．Travel.
  C．Health.
