题目内容
19.Happy people do seem to be healthier,and happiness itself may cause good health.In fact,happiness may be as important a factor in overall health as someone's smoking habit.Worried about heart disease and a stroke?Happiness appears to make people more resistant to both conditions.Don't want to catch a cold this year?One study that exposed subjects to a cold virus found that people who considered themselves happy were likely to get sick and expressed fewer symptoms even if they did get the virus.What about people who don't have their basic needs met?Even among people whose needs for food and shelter are not adequately met,there is a connection between how happy people are and how healthy they are.One study of more than l50,000adults showed a more important link between happiness and health than basic needs and health.
Interestingly,happiness also seems to extend life-is you are already healthy.Among unhealthy populations,it does not seem to affect longevity.For healthy seniors who live alone or with family,happiness predicts a longer life;those living in nursing care facilities do not show the same connection.With these results in mind,it looks like happiness may be a preventive measure,not a miracle cure.

分析 本文是科普类说明文,文章介绍了幸福和健康的关系;幸福的人更健康,幸福能够导致健康.对于那些基本需求没有满足的人来讲,幸福和健康存在着联系;对于健康的人,幸福能够延长寿命;一个人对工作和生活的掌控情况也会影响一个人的幸福和健康;研究表明通过训练可以提高人的幸福水平;从长远角度看像旅行等经历也会使人开心.
解答 56.long life.词汇猜测题.联系第三段的第一句"happiness also seems to extend life-if you are already healthy(如果你是健康的人,幸福似乎能够延长生命),第二句相对照分析对于不健康的人而言,幸福对"寿命长短"的影响,所以longevity表示"long life".
57.Heart disease,a stroke and a cold.细节理解题.根据文章第一段中"Happiness appears to make people more resistant to both conditions(幸福使人们对这两种状态都更具有抵抗力)"这里的two conditions指上文的heart diseases and a stroke; 由第一段中"Don't want to catch a cold this year?今年不想感冒?"以及下文的研究表明幸福对感冒也有影响;故答案是Heart disease,a stroke and a cold.
58.Happiness can not cure illness.Or:Happiness may not be a miracle cure.细节理解题.由第三段的结论句"it looks like happiness may be a preventive measure,not a miracle cure.(看起来幸福也许可以是预防措施,但不是神奇的疗法)"判断,幸福不能治疗疾病(Happiness can not cure illness.)或幸福不会是神奇的疗法( Happiness may not be a miracle cure.).
59.Those who have little control over their jobs.细节理解题.由第四段最后一句"Workers who have little control over their jobs report lower levels of happiness as well.(不能掌控自己的工作的工人所报告的幸福水平也低)"判断答案是Those who have little control over their jobs.
60.I will consider making friends with people all around the world,which can bring me happiness.This way I can open my mind.本题是开放题,答案不唯一.多交世界各地的朋友,使自己打开眼界 是可以使人开心的一种方法,故得到本题答案之一.
点评 科普文通常学术性较强,结构严谨,往往采用总-分-总或总-分的结构,且每段的第一句话大多是主旨句.如果抓住了科普文的首尾和每段的第一句话,那么整篇文章的中心思想便了然于心.
