In this digital age, people measure their popularity by the number of likes and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality – not high quantity.
Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial(关系浅表的)friends.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers.
Bruine de Bruin found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles tended to be closer to them.
Younger people, on the other hand, tended to have bigger circles that were made up of “peripheral(次要的)others” – people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These people had no influence on the younger interviewees’ happiness.
The results of the study show that the opinion society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be accurate.
“The research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn’t prevent social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults,” said Bruine de Bruin.

A.have a small circle of close friends

2.What do we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A.Older people’s friends seem to be of higher quality.
B.Young people don’t need to make peripheral friends.
C.Older people’s happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
D.Both old and young people find it hard to make close friends.
3.Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults?
A.Sad. B.Happy.
C.Lonely. D.Superficial.
4.What is the focus of the story?
A.Different types of friends.
B.Changes in people’s happiness levels.
C.Interactions between old and young people.
