• 10．The most popular course at Yale University is Psych 157：Psychology and the Good Life.Taught by Professor Laurie Santos，the course covers the science of happiness and how to apply it.Since its launch in 2018.jye.ai's been taken by a quarter of Yale students and more than 200，000 others in its online version.It clearly shows that，in the busy and noisy modern life，we all have a strong desire for happiness.
      Why don't more of us find it.For the complete answer to that，you'll have to take the course（缺少单词）（It's free）.But in recent New York Times interview，Santos suggested one way among of us often go wrong when seeking happiness.
      Many of us are trying to be a little gentler with ourselves and prioritizing self-care.That's a sensible strategy，Santos agrees.The trouble is how people understand "self-care."
      "We assume that self-care looks like a nice bubble bath--- or even selfish pursuits."
      Santos says. "But the data suggests that the right way to treat ourselves would be to do nice things for other people.We actually get more out of being more open and more social and more other oriented than spending money on ourselves，It's a bigger increase to your happiness."
      Santos isn't the only scientist pointing out that，if you want to be happier，you should focus more on kindness to others than kindness to yourself，though sell-acceptance is certainly nice too.Research out of Oxford University confirms that even tiny acts of kindness can have profound effects on out happiness，and other studies show small acts of kindness can ripple out，boosting mental well-being in the wider community.
      Kindness isn't just good for your mental health.It's been shown to have a big impact on our physical health too.You'll recover more quickly after a heart attack，for instance，if your boss is supportive and friendly.
      All of these effects are rooted in a simple truth：Humans are social creatures and we just function better when we feel connected to a community.
  
  （1）What is the most popular course at Yale University？

  
  （2）What's the problem with many of us when seeking happiness？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.

  
  If we want to increase our happiness，we should focus on kindness and avoid self-care.
  （4）How will you apply Professor Laurie Santo's ideas to seek happiness in your life？
