3．Recently I have discovered it's often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days.I post to my blog six days a week.I take notes every day.I write in my one-sentence journal every day.Manypeople have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day.If I try to do something just four days a week，I spend a lot of time arguing with myself：Is today the day，or is it tomorrow，or the next day？Does the week start on Sunday or Monday？
If you do something every day，you tend to fall into a routine.Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excjye.aiement.It's true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines，try new things，and go to new places are happier，but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness.The pleasure of doing the same thing，in the same way，every day，shouldn't be ignored.By repeatingyou can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.
Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day.Andy Warhol wrote， "Either once only，or every day.If you do something once it's exciting.jye.ai if you do it every day it'sexciting.But if you do it，say，twice or just almost every day，it's not good any more. "Gertrude Stein made a similar point， "Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful. "
So if there's something that you wish you did more regularly，try doing it every day：if you do something every day，take great pleasure in it.

4．If you need one more reason to be thankful，here it is.More and more researchers have found that gratitude could bring a lot of benefits to our body.
"Our clinical trials（臨床試驗）indicate that the practice of gratitude can have dramatic and lasting effects on a person's health， "said Robert Emmons，a professor at UC Davis. "It can lower blood pressure，improve immune function and help people fall asleep more efficiently.
Emmons said that there was even more evidence.People who keep a gratitude journal have a reduced fat intake-as much as 25 percent lower.Stress hormones（荷爾蒙）like cortisol（皮質(zhì)醇）are 23 percent lower inpeople with gratitude.And having a daily gratitude practice can actually reduce the effects of aging on thebrain. "Being thankful has such a big effect because of the feelings that go along with it， "Emmons said. "Gratitude works because it restores other positive emotions that bring direct physical benefits，most likely through the immune system. "
Research shows that when we think about what we appreciate，the calming part of the nervous system will be triggered.That can have protective effects on the body，including decreasing cortisol and perhaps increasing oxytocin，the bonding hormone involved in relationships that make us feel good.
Experts say gratitude is something that you can learn. "Some people may not be grateful by nature but itis a habit that you can get accustomed to. "said Dr.Norman E.Rosenthal，the author of Winter Blues.Norman says that all you have to do is to think about being grateful. "Some people say they don't have anything to be grateful for， "a researcher said. "If you teach such people to find one little thing to be grateful for and focus on that，you will find that the feeling of gratitude can transform the way they see their life over time. "
（1）What is the purpose of Emmons' clinical trials？
A．To find some medicine for certain diseases.
B．To analyze the motivation behind gratitude.
C．To study gratitude's influence on our body.
D．To study the link between sleep and health.
（2）We can learn from Paragraph 3 that being grateful.
A．helps improve one's intelligence
B．contributes to one's physical health
