Warm People Likely to Keep Cold at Bay
Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense.against getting ill,new study findings suggest.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus,researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.
The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,build on evidence that a"positive emotional style"can help ward off the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less trou- bled by a scratchy throat or runny nose.
"People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,"explained lead study author Dr.Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh."And when they do get a cold,they may interpret their illness as being less severe."
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold,but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.
For the new study,the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits,self-perceived health and emotional"style".Those who tended to be happy,energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense and hostile had a negative style.
The researchers gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus.Over the next six days,the volunteers reported on any aches,pains,sneezing or congestion they had,while the researchers collected objective data,like daily mucus production.Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes,happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

Cohen found that families had great influence on a person's emotional style.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

参考解析

解析:由文章第一段第二句的后半部分“… researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.”可知,性格阳光的人不太容易生病,但并不等于对疾病免疫。
由文章第四段的“…happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold…”可知,快乐的人更加不容易患感冒。
由文章的最后一句可知,Cohen和他的同事是依据客观数据得出的实验结论,而非主观测验。
由文章第五段第二句可知,这些研究对象中既包括积极乐观的人,也包括悲观的人。
第六段第一句中提到,研究者给这些志愿者一些含有感冒病毒或某种流感病毒的滴鼻剂,而不是预防感冒的药品,故选B。
由文章第五段第二句可知,那些快乐、有活力且随和的人被认为具有积极的情绪。故本题正确。
关于家庭和个人情绪类型的关系在文章中并未提及,因此本题答案为C。

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu (流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That’s because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses—flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms. Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症),a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system. There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents ()A、are advised not to give them aspirinB、should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeC、are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationD、should prevent them from mixing with people running a fever

问答题Practice 1  Once again, science supports what your grandmother told you: A good night’s sleep helps your body fight a cold.  People who (1)______ fewer than seven hours of sleep per night in the weeks before being (2)______ to the cold virus were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged eight hours or more, a new study found.  Researchers used frequent telephone (3)______ to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they exposed the (4)______ to the virus, quarantined (隔离) them for five days and kept track of who got sick.  (5)______ sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to help the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure known as “sleep efficiency”—the percentage of time in bed that you’re (6)______ sleeping—were also less likely to get sick.  The results held true even after researchers adjusted for (7)______ such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies to the virus.  Like your grandmother, the researchers aren’t exactly sure why sleeping better makes you less likely to develop a cold. But they do take a stab at the answer: “Sleep (8)______ influences the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, histamines, and other symptom mediators that are released in (9)______ to infection.” In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you’re infected with the cold virus (10)______ to the symptoms that define a cold.[A] subjects      [B] disruption      [C] exposed[D] contributes     [E]interviews      [F] Despite[G] actually      [H] properties      [I]response[J]variables      [K]action        [L]averaged[M]Besides       [N]partially       [O]disturbance

单选题请阅读 Passage 2,完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2 The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plague that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not, They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer, One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit ____.Aall suffered from cold and wetBnever caught coldsCcaught colds easilyDall caught colds because of the harsh environment

单选题_____, the new president is more likely to give economic and trade issues priority over foreign policy.AThe cold war being overBthe cold war had overCWith the cold war was overDWith the cold war has been over
