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
”
(Paragraph 1) means
“
_______
”
.
A. direct
B. convincing
C.
adequate
D. conclusive
22.
According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener
.
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
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.
C.
Open-minded people.
D. Religious people.
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
.
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
“
< br>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
