He replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of

15、the refrigerator. But the bottle was too slippery（滑的）and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered in milk. Instead of shouting at him or punishing him, his mother said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in

16、 the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together.

Those who live less than a kilometer from the coast are around 22 percent less likely to have mental health problems than those who l

22、ive 50 kilometers or more away, according to a study by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK.

23、to have less pollution and more sunlight, both of which are linked to better mental and physical health.

28、r of likes and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality not high quantity. Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about th

29、eir age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial（关系浅表的）friends.“Loneliness has less to do with the number of frie

30、nds you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers.
