21、r 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 revie

22、wed 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 tha

23、t 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 positiv

24、e accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer thanthose 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

25、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 chang

26、es your chances of getting disease or dying young. ”21.The word “compelling ”(Paragraph 1) means “”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22.According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener.A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of

29、lth and long lifePassage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is whythere are so many expressions that use the word“cold”. For centuries the body s blood has beenlinked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example,

30、 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.

31、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 yourfeet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression “to get cold feet ”that has nothing to do with cold or

32、your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold fe

33、et about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional andshows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someonewho is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to a

34、nyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold ”means not getting som

35、ething that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26.The focus of the passage is.A. the meanings of expressions with“cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why p
