    What makes people happier, money or having happy friends and neighbors? Scientists have found an
 answer as part of a study.
     The new study found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves.
 And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness (幸
 福).
     For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend living within one and a half
 kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased a chance of being
 happy by 34%. The effects (影响) of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.
     The scientists found sadness (悲伤) also spread (传播) among friends, but not as much as happiness.
 People take three degrees out of separation (间隔) still had an effect on a person's happiness. Three
 degrees of separation means the friend of a friend of a friend  .
     The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased a person's chances of becoming
  happier by about 2%. But the scientists found that the influence of a friend of a friend of a friend  can be
  greater than that.
     Another finding is that people who are married or work together do not have as much of an effect on
 happiness as friends do.
