47、 would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day-but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态)can benefit peoples mental health.(
48、他们中的大多数人认为,如果 白天有很多空闲时间,他们的幸福感会受到影响一但只有在他们没有成效地利用空闲时间 的情况下。虽然该实验是基于之前的假设,这是一个局限性,但它与其他实验一致,表明处 于心流状态可以有利于人们的心理健康。户可知此段主要阐述人们如何利用空闲时间会影响 他们的幸福感。故选D。10 .推理判断题。根据第四段Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are productive. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel be
49、tter, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun.
