During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.?
Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.
From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.
Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.
According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.
But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?

A.Newspaper. | B.Science fiction book. |
C.Research paper. | D.Travel guide. |
A.People can change their personality type. |
B.Scientists have found two different personality types. |
C.Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle. |
D.Personalities say something about our health. |
Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.Ben knows that this day honors an important man,but Ben does not feel connected to him.However,the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King.Ben's mom (0) has a close friend,Amy(1).Amy’s uncle,Mark(2),once met and spoke to John Carter(3),the son of President Jimmy Carter(4).Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way,Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.
The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条)of people they know.Another name of this chain is degrees of separation.Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know.There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly.This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom.There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know.Ben knows his mom,but he hasn't met her close friend Amy.Therefore,Ben is one degree away from Amy.As the chain continues,Amy's uncle,Mark,is two degrees.John Carter is three degrees,and his father is four degrees.Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben.The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.
The small-world theory has a lot to do with math.The theory assumes(假定)that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people.Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people,and so on.When someone continues the calculation to six degrees,it is like this:100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109.This number is greater than 31 billion(a billion = a thousand million).There are over 6 billion people in the world.These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.
Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it.Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world. .
1.Ben is two degrees away from .
A.Jimmy Carter B.John Carter C.Amy D.Mark
2.What is the meaning of "degrees of separation" in Paragraph 2?
A.The chain to connect people. B.The relations between people.
C.The steps of knowing strangers. D.The separation between strangers.
3.What is the small-world theory mainly about?
A.How far Ben is away from Dr. King. B.How many people one can get to know.
C.How people are connected in the world. D.How the degrees of separation are set up.
4.We can learn from the article that .
A.the small-world theory works
B.more research is needed to prove the theory
C.six degrees are needed to know the strangers
D.the writer's purpose is to help people find out their places
