Last year, I called emergency rvices becau I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and ambulance arrived, filled with police, doctors and nurs who moved my partner away to the emergency department, where he received the critical care that he needed.
A week later, still marveling at the impact of a handful of strangers, I wrote thank-you notes to tho helpful police and doctors and nurs and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact. When I dropped off cakes at the police and fire stations, they thanked me for the gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy, partly becau I’d done a good deed, but mostly becau I was amazed that there are lfless people who do life-saving work and expect nothing in return. Rearch has shown that sharing thoughts of gratitude and performing acts of kindness can boost your mood and have other positive effects on your health.
When you feel thankful for things you’ve received or something that’s happened, that’ s gratitude. It’s i
mpossible to feel it in a vacuum; others are always responsible, whether they’re loved ones, strangers or a higher power. “Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you e yourlf in connection with things larger than yourlf,” Ruch says.
Today, many people don’t stop to appreciate what they have, much less express gratitude. Our instant-gratification lifestyle may be to blame.
“With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to make them feel that they are the centre of the univer,” says Tamiko Zablith, founder of the London-bad etiquette consulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all about them, why thank others?”
Why not thank others? Studies have shown that people who express gratitude increa their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure levels, get better quality sleep, improve their relationships, have a positive impact on their depression levels and are less affected by pain.
Becau gratitude is a fairly new field of study, rearchers are still trying to identify its cau-and-effect relationship with various health benefits.

A New study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the country’s teenage girls has worned.
The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2005. British boys’ stress level was actually en to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent. The report’s authors pointed out the “advent of the social media age” could be a major contributing factor for increasing stress among teenage British girls.
“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive and emotional development,” Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a recent blog post. “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as
extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”
Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and lf-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don’t have the cognitive awareness and impul control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be circulated far and wide with disastrous implications.
Social media can also feed into girls’ incurities about their appearance, Ramsden said. The sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, the images and the messages tied to them creep into social standards.
“Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with
‘solutions’ such as extreme dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals,” Ramsden said. “Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities.”
66. How does the survey tell us the negative impact of social media?
A. By making experiments.
B. By raising a question.
C. By making comparisons
D. By analyzing caus and effects.
