it as ，including joy and anxiety，and to describe their levels of physical comfort.And sometimes they were asked，“How do you feel about your life as a whole？”，the researchers said，could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care.Earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy.But these patients were not given a chance to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time，Dr.Riis said，and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.解题导语 健康的人一定比病人感到幸福吗？一项调查结果表明病人的幸福指数和健康人，race，sex and education.D．Both patients and healthy people overestimate their own happiness.
