The study focused on workers above 50, who have been figuring prominently among the laid-off in recent decades and make up an older group for whom heavy eating and drinking is more likely to have serious health consequences. For this group, results showed the body mass of the average laid-off food-lover increasing by the equivalent of more than seven pounds for a 5-foot, 10-inch man weighing 180 pounds during unemployment. Similarly, frequent drinkers on average doubled their daily alcohol intake after losing their jobs and before finding another one. Lay-offs don’t necessarily send people reaching for the beer bottle or digging into the potato-chip bag, explain the authors. In some cases, they make people healthier by reducing the income they would otherwise spend on alcohol and junk food or allowing more time for physical exercise and outdoor activities. In fact, research focusing on the impact of layoffs and recessions on health has provided no evidence that the health of the average American declines as a result of acquiring unhealthy, stress-induced habits. “While there is evidence from animal, preclinical and clinical studies that stress leads to overeating and excessive drinking, economic research on stress suggests substantial heterogeneity. write the authors. In other words, losing one's job can be more or less stressful for different people and different bodies cope differently with stress-induced behavior. But Yale's William T. Gallo, Padmaja Ayyagari, Jason M. Fletcher and Jody L. Sindelar, and Partha Deb, from the City University of New York, found that layoffs among older workers tend to harm the health of those with a pre-existing unhealthy fondness for food and drink. Across all age groups, widespread loss of employer-provided health coverage is another way in which this recession is destroying the health of laid-off Americans, as many decide to “go without treatment or tests, the Journal reports.

You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.

“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.

● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.

● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.

● No one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.

“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”

56. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?

A.I’m not the very person capable of setting the problenu.

B.It looks like we should do something.

C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.

D.He doesn’t really need my help.

57. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?

A.They will call for help and then walk away.

B. They will stop and offer help.

C. They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.

D.They will laugh at him.

58. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot ttouble,           

A. we sbould call the ambulance as soon as we can.

B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.

C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.

D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
