washington，d.c.provide students with musical instruments for free.when something goes wrong with an instrument，charles west and larry jernigan do the repairs.both men approach their work with a passion (激情)for them，its important that students have a joyful experience with music.the two have worked together for almost 20 years.this year alone，theyve fixed about 450 instruments.both men are musicians and music lovers，so learning to do repairs came naturally.“i have been a musician all my life，”says west.“i played in an orchestra here in the city.i majored in music in college.i played in an army band.”jernigans musical interests are varied.“i was formerly trained in the piano and guitar.as for the alto sax and the flute，i picked up them while working here.”in addition to fixing instruments，the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.west believes if children start early and stay involved with music，it enriches other areas of their lives.“i see that in other kids.i see it in myself.i have seen it hundreds of times and it works，”he says.“they learn teamwork.they learn patience and respect.”but west has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age.“this instant age has taken away from the sitdown，the patience.and to learn to play an instrument，it takes patience，it takes diligence and it takes time.”being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job.both men agree their best rewards are the students performances.1whats the job of west and jernigan at school?ateaching

thursday.people with the most social connectionsspouses，friends，neighbors and relativeswere also the happiest，the data showed.“each additional happy person makes you happier，” christakis said.“imagine that i am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others.it is this fabric of humanity，like an american patch quilt.”each person sits on a differentcolored patch.“imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches.your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you，” christakis said.“it is not just happy people connecting with happy people，which they do.above and beyond，there is this contagious process going on.”and happiness is more contagious than unhappiness，they discovered.“if a social contact is happy，it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent，” fowler said.“a friend of a friend，or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹)，if they are happy，increases your chances by 10 percent，” he added.a happy thirddegree friendthe friend of a friend of a friendincreases a persons chances of being happy by 6 percent.“but every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that youll be unhappy by 7 percent，” fowler said.“the finding is interesting and it is useful，too，”fowler said.“among other benefits，happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率)，pain reduction，and improved cardiac(心脏的) function.so better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to promote a healthier society，” he said.the study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $5,000 extra increased a persons chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.“a happy friend is worth about $20,000，” christakis said.6according to the research，your
