Question

阅读短文，并按要求完成下面小题。

A study shows that it is important to have positive (积极的) feelings in our daily life. Compared with some unhappy people, those who are always pleased and relaxed are less likely (可能地) to suffer from colds according to the study. The researchers from New York University said, “Being happy helps the body prevent diseases.”

“It seems that positive feelings can usually reduce the danger of illness,” said the chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In his earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful caught colds less often. And they seldom told their doctors that they felt uncomfortable.

In this study, Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. In this period, they told the researchers about their happy or sad feelings every day. Two weeks later, all of them were made to catch colds by doctors, and they had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The result showed that each in the study had the same chance to fall ill. But people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy when doing the research. Their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.

Cohen believes that if people have positive feelings, their body may produce a kind of chemical that helps beat illness. So if you care about your health, please look at the bright side and make yourself happy all the time.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。介绍了科学家通过研究发现当人拥有积极的情绪时，身体可以产生对抗疾病的化学物质。由此来告诉人们在生活中要保持积极的心态，乐观地面对生活。

1.根据第一段“Compared with some unhappy people, those who are always pleased and relaxed are less likely (可能地) to suffer from colds according to the study.”可知根据这项研究，与一些不快乐的人相比，那些总是感到高兴和放松的人患感冒的可能性较小。故答案为(always) pleased and relaxed。

2.根据倒数第二段“But people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy when doing the research.”可知对那些活泼轻松的人说，他们在做这项研究时感到很高兴。故答案为doing the research。

3.根据第四段“In this study, Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks.”可知在这项研究中，Cohen的团队每天采访了193名成年人，为期两周。故答案为193 adults。

4.本文介绍了科学家通过研究发现当人拥有积极的情绪时，身体可以产生对抗疾病的化学物质。由此来告诉人们在生活中要保持积极的心态，乐观地面对生活。故答案为：A study shows that it is important to have positive feelings in our daily life.

5.这是一个that引导的宾语从句，have chance to do sth. 意为“有机会做某事”。the result 意为“结果”，作主语；fall ill 意为“生病”。故答案为：结果表明研究中的每个人都有同等生病的几率。
