23．（8分）You know the saying \according to that, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a person’s perception of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.

In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease. “We believe that the feelings associated with being older than one’s real age account for some of these health outcomes,” the researchers wrote.

The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more

likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early, which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.

Taken together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说)that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it.” While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”

B．Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems. C．Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing. D．The women who love hairdos look younger than those don’t. 3、It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that . A．a younger mother is more likely to live longer B．the younger one of a couple lives much longer

C．often staying with younger people can benefit people’s health D．people who want to live longer need to marry young 4、The passage mainly tells us that . A．Getting bald too early is not good to marry young B．Women had better give birth later in their life

C．Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their health D．People’s feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health

24．（8分）Watching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.

Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adults for five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health

problems like heart conditions and diabetes.

When the participants reported back five years later, 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal

Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.

The researchers say gobbling makes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.

Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month. 1、What are the participants divided by? A．Medical history. B．Health condition. C．Physical activity. D．Eating speed. 2、Which may be the result of the study?

A．Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. B．Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness. C．89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure. D．Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.

3、What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean? A．Tasting slowly. B．Digesting quickly. C．Eating greedily. D．Cooking carefully. 4、What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．The importance of eating speed. B．The advantage of eating slowly. C．The result of a Chinese study. D．Fast eating and overeating.

25．There is one type of illness in the world that has a severe effect on more people than anything （10分）else and is very deadly. If untreated, this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.

Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low

self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.

So how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?

First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything, then one step is needed—to set goals.

Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant(微不足道的) but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.It takes not just setting goals but positive thinking. How can we obtain this?

There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.[

Next, exercise. Half an hour a day is recommended for positive well-being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day. If you follow these steps, positive change is on the way. 1、Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?

A．Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer. B．Depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way. C．Those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances. D．Those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes. 2、According to the passage we can learn that ________. A．a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success B．we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant C．we should avoid challenging goals that may result in failure D．people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals 3、What can we infer from the reading passage?

A．Those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones. B．Depression has something to do with the food people eat.

C．You can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.

D．Smile makes no sense to the feeling in daily life.
