Research shows its a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isnt really that helpful，because basically，happiness is different for women and men.Womens happiness has been declining for the past 30 years，according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender (性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological，psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness，warmth and fear，which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver，while men display more anger，pride and disrespect，which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially，but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons (镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other peoples view，to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings，such as more guilt，shame and to a lesser degree，embarrassment.Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger，women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciationwhich has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that womens happiness is more dependent on relationships than mens.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章从社会、生理和心理三个方面介绍了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。1Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?AWarmth.BDepression.CHappiness.DDisrespect.D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“while men display more anger，pride and disrespect”可知，男性表现更多的是生气、骄傲和无礼，故选D。2What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?APsychological factors.BBiological factors.CEducational factors.DSocial factors.A细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，本段从心理方面介绍了男性和女性在处理和表达感情方面的不同：与男性相比，女性更加公开地表露自己内心的情感。3One can probably read the text from_.Aa science fictionBa culture brochureCa nursery guideDa health magazineD推理判断题。根据本文内容可知，本文主要从社会、生理和心理三个方面分析了男性和女性在幸福感上的差异。由此可推知，本文有可能摘自一本健康杂志，故选D项。4What is the text mainly about?AMen and women differ in biology and psychology.BMen and women experience happiness differently.CSocial roles have a great effect on men and women.DWomens happiness has dec
