12．What makes a person a giver or a taker？The idea of"give versus take"takes shape in all relationships of our lives．We're either giving advice，making time for people，or we're on the receiving end．We alternate between the two based on different situations we face on a daily basis，it not an hourly one．According to Adam Grant，a professor at Pennsylvania University，most people are matchers．They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back．They hate to see people who act so generously towards others without receiving any reward．Actually，most matchers will try to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve．
Another professor named Hannah Rile Bowles，from Harvard University，led a study on the idea．She asked 200senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to negotiate salary promotions．Male employees asked for an average salary of 146kwhilethefemalesaskedforonly141k．But why did they not bargain as hard as the men？Simply because they were more likely to be givers．
As a woman，I do enjoy the act of giving up my time，my knowledge and my care and attention to others．I don't expect anything in return，but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I'm being taken for granted．I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed．So it's safe to say I'm 50% giver，35% matcher and 15% taker．
I do know someone，however，who is 99% giver．They're devoting their time，sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path．Although they've changed the lives of many people，they rarely see any of it returned．But the universe is slowly repaying them； they're now extremely successful，well known for what they do．
33．In Adam Grant's opinion，most peopleD．
A．prefer giving to taking

C．tend to depend on others
D．tend to balance between giving and taking

20．Happy People Make Their Partners HealthierPeople who are happier are usually also healthier-and not just because they're happy about being healthy．When humans feel good，they're more likely to be active and less likely to attempt to cheer themselves up with cheeseburgers，ice cream and a two-day Game of Thrones marathon．
But a new study suggests that people whose partners are happier are probably also in better shape，even independently of their own happiness．In fact，the study's data suggests that people with a happy partner are 34% more likely to be healthy than those married to a downer．
The authors propose a couple of reasons why a happy person might improve the health of their lover．First，a happy spouse is a better caretaker； he or she is more likely to have the emotional energ y to look after a significant other，making sure they're O．K．，have taken their medicine and are looked after when they're ill．
Secondly，people with a positive outlook are more likely to be playing the long game； they eat better，they exercise，they sleep regularly，they make plans and avoid doing self-destructive things because they feel good about the future．And they bring their companions along for the ride．"Happy people drag their partners out of bed to go exercise，and they encourage them to eat healthier，"says Bill Chopik an associate psychology professor at MSU，and lead author of the study．
And thirdly，happy partners make life eas ier for their partners because their partners aren't stressed by the fact that their closest companion is always in a bad mood，and they're not exhausted by efforts to make them happy or under constant pressure．
It's hard to know what moral to draw from the study-apart from try to marry a happy person-since the stress of trying to figure out how to improve your spouse's mood may well undo all the beneficial effects of having a happy spouse．Chopik has a workaround．"Relationship satisfaction between couples is one of the largest predictors of happiness，"he says．So instead of trying to figure out what's up with him or her，he suggests working out what's up with the two of you．
