You can’t buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit (遗传) it, British and Australian researchers said on Thursday.

A study of nearly 1000 pairs of identical and non-identical twins found genes control half the personality traits(特性)that make people happy while factors such as relationships, health and careers are responsible for the rest of our well-being.“We found that around half the differences in happiness were genetic,” said Tim Bates, a researcher at the University

of Edinburgh who led the study. “It is really quite surprising.”

The researchers asked the volunteers – ranging in age from 25 to 75 – a series of questions about their personality, how much they worried and how satisfied they were with their lives.

Because identical twins share the same genes and fraternal twins do not, the researchers could identify common genes that result in certain personality traits and predispose people to happiness.

People who are sociable, active, stable, hardworking and conscientious tend to be happier, the researchers reported in the journal Psychological Science.

“What this study showed was that the identical twins in a family were very similar in personality and in well-being, and by contrast, the fraternal twins were only around half as similar,” Bates said. “That strongly implicates genes.”

The findings are an important piece of the puzzle for researchers trying to better understand depression and what makes different people happy or unhappy, Bates said.

People with positive inherited personality traits may, in effect, also have a reserve of happiness to draw on in stressful times, he said.

“An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing, calm and reliable provide a resource, we called it ‘affective reserve,’ that drives future happiness” Bates said.

       The celebration of festivals and your birthday always involves gifts, which brings different feelings to people of different ages. Especially when you were a  1 , it was great to get that special toy you had  2  for so long, wrapped up in pretty paper. The more attractive the  3 , the more  4  it added. When you finally saw it, your heart started beating  5  and you felt like you could just  6  and yell: "Yeah! I got it!"

       Shopping gifts for  7  must be complicated. My favorite part of gift shopping is thinking of something the person will  8  like and use. It shows you care, and that's the  9  of a gift I' m not a  _10  person who wants loads of gifts; I just want them to mean something.

       Some people find the gift card is  11 , hut for me it is silly. It shows no real  12  at all but a sum of money. I receive many each year  13   places where I never shop. After  14  throughout a 'whole store for something, I do what I have to do  15  I get these cards: I end up buying socks because we can't have  16  and because not using the card is a waste of  17 .

       When you receive the gift card, you certainly  18  hold it up in the air screaming with joy, because you' d sure look like a  19  , wouldn't you? You just have to smile and say  20 .
