Do you often feel lonely and bored？With the development of science and technology，people often focus on their phones or virtual（虛擬的）world without much connection with people around．A scientist，John Dattilo，together with an international team of researchers，studied about this problem．（1）Their study tells us how to lower our loneliness．
    According to their new study，（2）it has something to do with doing enjoyable activities．It requires both concentration（注意力）and skill．"When people focus on what they are doing，they enter a state（狀態(tài)）called ‘flow'（心流），" Dattilo explained．"Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we value and that require us to focus fully to use our skills．"
    To achieve a state of flow，there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level．For example，if you're trying to create a computer program but your skill level is low，then you're likely to feel stressed and flow will disappear．However，（3）如果任務(wù)太容易，"心流"也會(huì)消失。 "When we enter a state of flow，we become excited and focused，and we experience momentary enjoyment，" But watching television usually doesn't help people enter flow，according to Dattilo，because there aren't any challenges．So we should face the challenges bravely，（4）or it's hard for us to achieve the state．So next time，you can try to complete the task which is a little bit hard for you．（5）我們希望這能幫助人們過(guò)上一種更健康的生活。
