为什么春天让我们更快乐?
Why do we feel cheered? After a long winter, it's obviously heartening to feel the warmth of the sun,see lambs laying in the fields, hear the swell of birdsong, catch the scent of fresh earth.If wildflowers can n push through a blanket of snow, then we can surely achieve anything.

为什么我们会感到高兴?漫长的冬天过后，感受到阳光的温暖，看到羊羔在田里玩耍，听到鸟鸣声，闻到新鲜泥土的清香，这一切当然令人振奋。如果野花能冲破皑皑白雪生长，那么我们肯定也能做到任何想做的事。

运动能提高我们的内啡肽水平,起到情绪助推器和天然止痛药的作用。与此同时，我们的血清素水平也会上升，这有助于改善我们的情绪。研究还表明，我们在冬天会产生更多的褪黑素，也就是睡眠激素，这意味着我们更容易犯困。当早晨的阳光更明亮时，照射到眼睛的光线会抑制褪黑激素的产生，让我们感到更有活力。
