painting a much rosier picture regarding people's genereral moods and dispositions Research has shown that people have two basic reward centres in their brains that are stimulated by two different chemicals which cause happiness The first, dopamine, is triggered by activities like exercise, relaxation and the quieter pleasures The second comprises a set of adrenaline-type chemicals which are triggered by exciting or frightening activities Dopamine provokes a response of passive happiness, while the second set of chemicals provokes a highenergy state of happiness, the feeling one might get from public speaking or mountain climbing While understanding the chemical process behind happiness is important, it does not explain why only some people are consistently happy The answer may lie in people's perceptions of happiness One of the reasons we have such a problem with happiness is that many confuse it with a life untouched by anxiety, rage, doubt and sadness The belief that happiness means that nothing ever goes wrong is naive; in order to be happy, we must know not how to avoid disturbing events, but how to deal with them The key to coping with life's unpleasant aspects, while remaining content, comes from an everyday practice which Mihaly Csikszentimihalyi calls "the flow" He describes "the flow" as the state one is in when doing something complete absorbing It comes when one is pushed right up to the limit of one's ability, but not beyond it "People can get a feeling of flow from dangerous sports like mountain climbing or driving fast," he says "but it can also come from something relaxing like painting or reading a good book." The point is that it's an activity you for the pleasure of doing it You are not looking for praise or reward What is important, is to keep your brain busy if you want to be happy The professor explains, "If you leave someone on their own with nothing specific to do, most of their thoughts will be worries." People tend to think about all the things they want and haven't got rather than how good their life is It seems the key to happiness lies in having an active and challenging lifestyle The scientific study of happiness will help us understand how to build a world that improves human well-being and self-esteem, and how to get the most satisfaction from their goals and circumstances Question 15: According to Csikszentimihalyi, "the flow" is triggered by _ A doing nothing B activities done for personal pleasure C external reward D challenging others Question 16: When we are inactive _ A we try to challenge ourselves B we don't get what we want C we think everything is fine D we experience more anxiety Question 17: What does "it" in the sentence "but it can also come from "refer to _?
