In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbours in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today’s city life, people may feel unconformable talking to neighbours they do not know well in line at the supermarket. But granting your neighbours is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey.
Saying hello to people increases well-being (幸福), and six is the magic number. The well-being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are part of the Gallup National Health and Well-being Index which studies overall well-being and is calculated on a scale of (在……范围内) 0 to 100.

In fact, regular (经常的) greetings also improve a person’s physical well-being and community well-being. ____________ You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your communities is safe.

“We don’t require that you know the person at all: just stop and talk to him,”said Dan Witters, the survey’s director,“But the more people to whom you say hello, the greater the probability that you’re actually going to start a conversation with them.”
While this is just a survey for now, saying hello on a regular basis is a good way to improve your own well-being.
