Living among trees, plants and flowers can fill your life with beauty. If you are a woman, it can also help you live longer. Researchers found that women who live in homes surrounded by plants appear to have lower death rates than women who live in areas with less greenery.
James and his team looked at information from one of the largest and oldest investigations of women's health: the Nurse's Health Study. The study began 40 years ago and expanded in 1989. It now has information on nearly 200,000 women.
For the new study, the Harvard team looked at the death rates of more than 100,000 women between the years 2000 and 2008. Then the researchers compared the death rates of these women to the greenery around their homes. The researchers considered other risk factors—things such as the age of the women, their economic status, race and ethnicity. They also looked at whether or not the women smoked. The study found that the death rate among women who lived in the greenest spaces was 12 percent lower than those from the least green areas.
Peter James said he and his team were surprised to find such a strong link between high vegetation levels and low death rates. He adds they were also surprised to find how high levels of plant life can affect a woman's mental health. The study suggests that living among vegetation lowered levels of depression. Researchers say women in greener areas spent more time with other people, exercised more and were less exposed to air pollution.
One of the biggest effects of greenery appeared to be a lowered risk of respiratory_disease and cancer. The study found that women living in areas with the most greenery had a 34 percent lower rate of dying from a respiratory disease and a 13 percent lower rate of dying from cancer.

语篇导读
本文为记叙文，讲述的是一位儿子带自己的父亲到餐馆就餐的经历，字里行间渗透着中华民族的传统美德——孝。
1．dropped 解析 考查时态。Being very old and weak是现在分词短语作原因状语，while eating是状语从句的省略形式，空处作主句的谓语动词。本文的基本时态为一般过去时，此处也应用一般过去时表示发生在过去的动作。
2．in/with 解析 考查介词。句意：其他就餐的人厌恶地看着他(指父亲)，而他的儿子很镇定。in/with disgust厌恶地，厌烦地，为固定搭配。
3．who 解析 考查连词。主句的主干是his son took him to the washroom and…，所填词引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语，先行词是his son，故用who引导。

7．have left 解析 考查时态。空处在句子的直接引语中，而且下文的Yes, you have也是暗示，故此处用现在完成时。
8．a 解析 考查冠词。at a loss困惑，不知所措，为固定搭配。
9．silent 解析 考查词性转换。句中的went是系动词，意为“变得”，其后用形容词作表语。
10．unconditionally 解析 考查词性转换。句意：不论我们是谁，身处何地，我们应该永远无条件地关爱和照顾生养我们的人。副词作状语修饰全句。

① 解析 指不同的年龄，故用复数。
② 解析 分词作表语，interesting使人感兴趣的； interested某人(对某事)感兴趣的。
③ 解析 此处的物主代词是指上文的more people，故用their。
