一、阅读理解
When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms concerning our hearts—open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina(心绞痛), a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations of recovery, were 40 per cent less likely to be hospitalised or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had been diagnosed with angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were a also the least likely to have histories of heart attacks, heart failure or other heart diseases.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier in the beginning are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of enquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve the outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the Division of Cardiology(心脏病学) at Duke University Medical Center, told Duke Chronicle that his next research will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the words of the writer Anthony J.D'Angelo: "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart."
1.How can people with angina get better according to the study
A.By expecting more. B.By thinking positively.
C.By getting timely surgery. D.By taking more exercise.
2.What may be the aim of Alexander Fanaroff's next research
A.To explore how to improve patients' attitudes. B.To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C.To learn the causes of heart diseases. D.To test if positive attitudes help with health.
3.What can we learn from the text
A.Optimistic people hardly have a heart attack.
B.People's attitudes affect their overall health.
C.How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D.The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
4.What may be the best title for the text
A.Keep Positive to Get Rid of Illnesse B.Angina, a Kind of Serious Condition
C.Depression, a Key Cause of the Heart Attack D.Positive Thinking Makes Hearts Healthier

Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. She bent over to pick it up. "Linda's music tape!" She cried out in surprise. "It must have rolled out of her bag, when she got changed here." At this moment,an idea flashed through her mind, which made her rooted to the spot. "Without her music tape, Linda will surely lose; without this real competitor, I will definitely win." At the thought of this, Mary shivered slightly. She was wondering what to do next. She hesitated for a second and then hurried out to give the music tape to Linda, who was extremely anxious in the corridor. Linda was so grateful to Mary, and she began her performance.
Linda finished her dancing successfully, and then came Mary's turn. Mary walked on the stage with her heart beating faster and faster. Nervous as she was, she stepped onto the stage with a big smile. She danced skillfully to the music and completed her most difficult spin smoothly. "Good," she thought to herself, "my injured arm is awesome today." As the music ended, thunderous applause filled the stadium. With the final marks announced, Mary knew she achieved her goal and tears began to well up in her eyes. As she headed back to the dressing room, Linda came up to her cheerfully and held her hand tightly, "Congratulations! You've done an amazing performance! You win!" Mary smiled happily, "I win."
