Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say. Their study of hundreds of men and women also found t hat people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones. While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy, the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist RichardTunney said, “Whatever the reason is, actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness. ”Dr. Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends, according to the study, which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票).

For women, this meant having 33 friends;for men, the number was 49. Dr. Tunney said,“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied. ” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships. Interestingly, the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners, however, have a differentopinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with asmall circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for along time.

On a cold winter Sunday, the little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box and asked me whether I had a match.

“I'm sorry,”I said.“I don't smoke, so I haven't any. You'd better ask someone else.”

He looked rather disappointed, hesitated, and then turned away. I watched him walk slowly down the street before I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I meant to dial. I'm not used to a public call box, so, at my first attempt to get through, the warning pips( 嘟嘟声) had stopped before I realized I had to insert a coin. When I was at last able to speak, I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to give a message to had just gone out. Swearing slightly under my breath, I got out of the box and came face to face with the little man. As he raised his hat again, I could see he was quite bald, and a thin line, resembling a dueling( 决斗) scar, crossed one cheek.

“Excuse my troubling you again.” he said nervously.“May I walk along with you a little way? I must tell you the truth. I need help desperately. ”

He had an unusually deep voice which suggested a strange combination of shyness and self-confidence. I was conscious of a fairly strong foreign accent and I wondered what country he had actually come from. I said that I had to catch a train in twenty minutes’ time, but that he might accompany me to the station.

“I'm going to shock you,”he said suddenly, after a moment's silence.“Can you lend me five pounds? I have no money at all.”I have come across many strange characters during my life and plenty of people have tried to borrow money from me. I have generally managed to avoid lending them any. But, perhaps because of the very directness of his appeal, I somehow had the impression that his need might be desperately urgent.

“I'm sorry,” I replied,“I'm afraid I can't lend you anything, as I'm not in the habit of carrying much money about with me. Don't you think the police might be the best people to ask for help?”

He hesitated,“I dare not go to the police,” he said quietly. “If I do go, they will have to send me home. That's what I'm afraid of. I don't know what to do. ” He shook his head rather sadly, raised his hat and left me. I caught my train and soon forgot the incident.

It was three weeks later that I happened to glance at an old evening paper and caught sight of a small paragraph at the bottom of the front page: “The unidentified body of a short bald man, with a deep scar across one cheek, was recovered from the River Thames yesterday. The police believed he had committed suicide.” I then noticed the date: just two and a half weeks before.

It was I who might have been the final cause of his terrible tragedy. For days afterwards the cruelty of my refusal made me suffer continual shame and regret. I swore that I would never again refuse any appeal for help.
