      What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? 1
      Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has done this job and tracked(追踪) the lives of 724 men, year after year, asking about their work, home life, health, and other aspects. About 60 of the original 724 men are still alive, still taking part in the study.
      The clearest message that we get from this study is: 2 Over these years, the study has shown that the people who fared(进展) the best were the people who kept good relationships, with family, with friends and with the community.
      We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships. First, social connections are really good for us, and loneliness kills. 3 Second, the quality of your close relationships matters. Living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health. Third, good relationships don’t just protect our bodies, but also our brains. 4 If the people in relationships feel they really can’t count on the other one, they experience earlier memory decline(下降).
      The answer is clear: Good life is built with good relationships. 5 Relationships are messy, complicated(复杂的) and hard work. Building good relationships is also a lifelong task. It never ends.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。

C. When people are in their 80s and in relationships, their memories stay sharper and longer.

E. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to others are happier, physically healthier, and live longer than people who are less well-connected.

      Feel down? Hug a tree! Recently, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Sounds strange? 1
      It can be explained by the “biophilia hypothesis(亲生命假说)”. It was pointed out by US scientist Edward Wilson in 1984. He said that humans are born to love being around other living things. 2 This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural and green places to cities. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.
      3 A study in 2021 reported that the activity can increase oxytocin(催产素). The higher the level of oxytocin is, the quieter and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in it. Another one is called cortisol(皮质醇), which is a sign of stress. 4 Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production, which makes us feel better.
      Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many living things live in the trees. 5 You should be soft when hugging trees—just like how you hug a friend!
