Passage
Two
A review of
more than 160 studies of human subjects has found
“
clear and compelling
evidence
”
that---all
else being equal ---happy people tend
to live longer and experience better health than
their unhappy peers.
The
study
is
the
most
comprehensive
review
so
far
of
the
evidence
linking
happiness
to
health.
Its
lead
author
ED
Diener
analyzed
long-term
studies
of
human
subjects,
experimental
human
trials,
and
studies
that
evaluate the health status of people
stressed by natural events.
“
We reviewed eight different
types of studies,
”
Diener
said.
“
And the general
conclusion from each type of
study
is
that
your
subjective
well-being---that
is,
feeling
positive
about
your
life,
not
stressed
out,
not
depressed---contributes to both long
life and better health among healthy
populations.
”
A
study that followed nearly 5,000 university
students for more than 40 years, for example,
found that those
who
were
most
pessimistic
as
students
tended
to
die
younger
than
their
peers.
An
even
longer-term
study
that
followed 180 Catholic
nuns from early adulthood to old age found that
those who wrote positive accounts of their
lives in their early 20s tended to live
longer than those who wrote more negative ones.
There
were
a
few
exceptions,
but
most
of
long-term
studies
the
researchers
reviewed
found
that
anxiety,
depression, a lack of enjoyment of
daily activities and pessimism are all associated
with higher rates of disease
and a
shorter life.
While
happiness
might
not
by
itself
prevent
or
cure
disease,
posive
emotions
and
enjoyment
of
life
do
contribute to better health and a
longer life, Diener said.
“
Happiness
is
no
magic
bullet,
”
he
said.
“
But
the
evidence
is
clear
and
compelling
that
it
changes
your
chances of getting
disease or dying young.
”
21.
The word
“
compelling
”
< br> (Paragraph 1) means
“
___
B____
”
.
A. direct
B.
convincing
C. adequate
D. conclusive
22.
According to Paragraph
2, Ed Diener
C
.
A.
studied the health conditions of the subjects
B. conducted
experimental human trials
C. made long-term studies
of human subjects
D. review other
researchers
’
studies
B/
23.
According
to the studies on university students and Catholic
nuns, who are more likely to live longer?
A.
Well-educated people.
B. Optimistic people.
4
C. Open-minded
people.
D. Religious people.
C/24.
What is NOT mentioned
as relevant to a shorter life?
A. Depression
and anxiety.
B. Lack of enjoyment.
C. Constant
lack of sleep.
D. Stress and pessimism.
25.
By saying that
“
Happiness is no magic
bullet
”
(Paragraph 7),
Diener means that happiness
C
.
A. is not ever lasting
B. is not easy to obtain
C.
is not a good treatment of diseases
D. is not a guarantee of health and
long life
Passage Three
Cold weather has a great
effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe
that is why there are so many
expressions
that
use
the
word
“
cold
”
.
For
centuries
the
body
’
s
blood
has
been
linked
closely
with
emotions.
People who show no human emotions or
feelings, for example, are said to be cold
blooded.
Cold-blooded people act in
cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others
and not by accident. For example,
a
newspaper
says
the
police
are
searching
for
a
cold-blooded
killer.
The
killer
murdered
someone
not
in
self-
defense or because he was reacting to anger or
fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no
emotion as if
taking
someone
’
s life meant
nothing.
Cold can affect
other parts of the body, the feet, for example.
Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are
really
cold.
But
there
is
an
expression
“
to
get
cold
feet
”
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
cold
or
your
feet.
The
expression means being afraid to do
something you have decided to do. For example, you
agreed to be president
of an
organization, but then you learned that all the
other officers have resigned. All the work of the
organization
will be your
responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet
about being president when you understand the
situation.
A cold fish is not a fish.
It is a person. But it is a person who is
unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or
warmth. A cold fish does not offer much
of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold
fish does not offer
much of himself to
anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be
cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is
someone
who
has
no
sympathy.
Several
popular
songs
in
recent
years
were
about
cold-hearted
men
or
cold-hearted women who
without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.
“
Out
in
the
cold
”
means
not
getting
something
that
everybody
else
has
got.
A
person
might
say
that
everybody but him got a
pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it
is not a pleasant place to be in.
26.
The focus of the passage
is
A
.
A.
the meanings of expressions with
“
cold
”
B. the
influence of cold weather on our mind and body
C.
why people are unhappy with cold weather
D. how some
people become cold blooded
27.
A cold-blooded killer may take the life
of another person
B
.
A. by accident
B. for no reason
C. out of fear
D. in self-
defense
28.
If a person
“
gets cold
feet
”
, he or she may feel a
little
D
.
A. angry
B. puzzled
C.
disappointed
D. frightened
29.
A cold fish is a person who ___A____.
