Many people turn to doctors or self help books, but they forget a great thing that could help them fight illness: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in health. A 10 year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the danger for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties (关系) could improve brain health as we age.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn't well realized，” said Rebecca, a professor at the University of North Carolina. “Friendship has a bigger effect on our psychological (心理的) health than family relationships.”
While many friendship studies are about the close relationships of women, some research shows that it can do good to men too. In a six year study of 736 middle aged men, having friendships reduces the risk of heart disease. Only smoking was as important a danger factor as having little social support.
The exact reason why friendship has such a big effect isn't clear. While friends can send a sick person to the hospital or pick up medicine, the advantages go well beyond physical help. Friendship clearly has a big psychological effect. “People with stronger friendships feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen, a doctor. “The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
1．The three studies in Paragraph 2 show that ________.
A．old people need friends the most
B．friends can help us lose weight
C．social ties have something to do with health
D．having more friends makes us healthier
2．What do Rebecca's words in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Friendship is more important to women than to men.
B．What people need most is a friend's care.
C．Friendship is more important than family relationship.
D．The value of friendship hasn't been fully understood.
3．The author mentioned smoking in the text to discuss ________.
A．the cause of heart attack
B．the danger of having no friends
C．smoking is bad for men
D．friends' influence on habits
4．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “obesity” in Para. 2
A．Fatness. B．Unhappiness.
C．Excitement. D．Health.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it — the depression doesn't just disappear on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise.
Take a 15 to 30 minute walk every day — or dance, jog or bike if you prefer.__1__ But make yourself do it anyway. Ask a friend to exercise with you if you need to be motivated (激发……的积极性). Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.
Identify troubles, but don't think a lot about them.
Try to identity any situation that has contributed to your depression. When you know what makes you feel blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend.__2__ If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well. Once you air out these thoughts and feelings, turn your attention to something positive. Take action to deal with problems.
Express yourself.
__3__ By exercising your imagination (painting, drawing, writing, dancing, etc.), you not only get those creative juices flowing, you also relax some positive emotions. Take time to play with a friend or a pet, or do something fun for yourself. Find something to laugh about — a funny movie, perhaps.__4__
Look on the bright side.
Depression affects a person's thoughts, making an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings. __5__ Depression takes time to heal (治愈)．
A．Laughter helps lighten your mood.
B．Most of all, don't forget to be patient with yourself.
C．Yoga can also help people with depression feel better.
D．First of all, you should know why you feel so depressed.
E．People who are depressed may not feel much like being active.
F．With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.
G．Talking is a way to release the feelings and to receive some understanding.
