Scientists have found a new way to measure happiness: they can calculate how 1satisfied people are with their everyday lives by giving positive and negative points for typical activities. In a 2fascinating survey, scientists discovered that commuting to work is the activity that people find most 3exhausting and 4irritating. Many people feel 5depressed, 6annoyed and 7frustrated when they have to do housework and meet deadlines at work. In general, the most 8entertaining activity is relaxing with friends and the most 9satisfying is spending time with family. However, some parents were 10embarrassed to say that looking after children didn’t always make them happy. Finally, you may be 11disappointed if you think that a higher salary will bring greater happiness. In fact, one scientist suggests that organising your time well might be the best way to improve your quality of life. b Write adjectives 1–11 from the article in
