阅读理解。
     Jill suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
    When his heart problems led to operation, Jill went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jill was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day
before his 48th birthday.
    Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more
he learned, the stranger he realized Jill's case was. When Jill was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered
a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jill asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jill returned his
father had died. Jill's father was 48.
  "I think all his life Jill believed he killed his father," Dr. Smaller says. "He felt that if he had not asked
him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jill had been troubled by the idea. The
operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years." Smaller believes that Jill willed himself
not to live to the age of 48.
    Jill's case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays on physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct
than Jill's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as
cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
1. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jill's case?  
A. Jill died at a young age.             
B. Jill died on the operating table.
C. Both Jill and his father died of the same disease. 
D. Jill's death is closely connected with his father's.
2. From Smaller's words, we can infer that__________.
A. Jill's father cared little about his study       
B. Smaller agreed that Jill did kill his father
C. Jill thought he would be punished some day 
D. Smaller believed Jill wouldn't live to the age of 48
3. Which of the following could have strong effects on one's physical health according to the text.
     a. One's genes.
     b. One's life in childhood.
     c. One's physical education.
     d. The date of one's birthday.
     e. The opinions one has about something.
A. a, b, d    
B. a, b, e    
C. a, c, e    
D. b, c, d
