Transcript:

There are treasures of happiness all around us, but the problem is that we only appreciate them when something terrible happens. Usually when we become sick we appreciate our health, when we lose something we appreciate it more. But we don't need to wait. If we develop a habit of being grateful, we can significantly increase our levels of happiness. Research by Robert Emmons and Mike McAuliffe observed people who kept a gratitude journal each night, where they wrote at least five things they're thankful for in life. The results showed that these people are happier, more optimistic, more successful, more likely to achieve their goals, physically healthier it strengthens our immune system, and more generous to others. Keeping a gratitude journal is something that takes just three minutes a day but has significant and positive results.

Option 2: "We can keep a gratitude journal."

Explanation: The text explicitly states that keeping a gratitude journal leads to increased happiness. It highlights that writing down things we are thankful for can significantly enhance our levels of happiness, making this option directly supported by the text.

Option 1: "We can become more generous to others."

Explanation: While the text mentions that keeping a gratitude journal makes people more generous, it does not state that this is a direct way to increase happiness. The focus is on gratitude and its effects, not on generosity itself.

Option 3: "We can achieve our goals."

Explanation: Although the text mentions that people who keep a gratitude journal are more likely to achieve their goals, it does not indicate that achieving goals directly increases happiness. This option is therefore not a direct answer to the question.

Option 4: "We can become physically healthier."

Explanation: The text states that keeping a gratitude journal can lead to better physical health, but it does not claim that becoming physically healthier is a method to increase happiness. Thus, this option does not directly answer the question.

Option 5: "We can do some research on happiness."

Explanation: The text does not suggest that conducting research on happiness is a way to increase happiness. Instead, it focuses on the practice of gratitude, making this option irrelevant to the question.
