In small villages，people often say hello to their neighbours in stores，on the streets，or outside their homes. But in cities，many people don’t greet their neighbours even when they are standing in line at a supermarket. A study shows that greeting neighbours，especially up to six people a day，is really good for you.
The study has found that greeting others can make you happier. The magic number is six. When you greet up to six people，your happiness score goes up. After that，the score shows no further rise. The study tested people’s social happiness，physical happiness，community happiness and more. People who greeted six neighbours had a much higher happiness score than those who didn’t greet anyone.
You might think that saying hello is only about social happiness，but that’s not true. Regular(经常的) greetings also improve your physical and community happiness.▲ If you feel your community is safe，it’s more possible for you to talk to people. Walking around your neighbourhood can make you feel better physically.
Dan Witters，the leader of the study，said，“We don’t mean that you should know the person well. Just stop and talk to him/her. The more people you greet，the more chances you have to start a conversation.”
Remember，saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own happiness.

在小村庄里，人们经常在商店、街道上或家门外和邻居打招呼。但在城市里，很多人即使在超市排队时也不会和邻居打招呼。一项研究表明，和邻居打招呼，尤其是一天最多和六个人打招呼，对你真的有好处。
这项研究发现，和别人打招呼能让你更快乐。神奇的数字是六。当你和最多六个人打招呼时，你的快乐分数会上升。在那之后，分数就不会再进一步上升了。这项研究测试了人们的社交幸福感、身体幸福感、社区幸福感等等。和六个邻居打招呼的人比那些不跟任何人打招呼的人快乐分数高得多。
你可能认为打招呼只和社交幸福感有关，但事实并非如此。经常打招呼也能提高你的身体幸福感和社区幸福感。▲ 如果你觉得你的社区是安全的，你就更有可能和别人交谈。在你的街区周围走走会让你身体感觉更好。
