21、 distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving.

29、d to influence the body, a growing collection of evidence finds that people who are depressed have a greatly higher risk of developing heart disease.In a study of almost 3,000 men and 5,000 women, depressed men were 70 percent more likely to develop coronary(心脏的) heart disease than those who werent
30、depressed. While depressed women were just 12 percent more likely to develop heart disease, those who were severely depressed were 78 percent more likely. In fact, a 1998 study found that women who are depressed have a risk of dying from heart disease equal to that of women who smoke or who have hig
31、h blood pressure.The link works the other way around, too: While about 1 in 20 American adults experience major depression in a given year, that number jumps to about one in three among those who have survived a heart attack.The more severe the depression, the more dangerous it is to your health. Bu
32、t some studies suggest that even mild depression, including feelings of hopelessness experienced over many years, may damage the heart. Other studies suggest depression may affect how well heart disease medications work.Researchers arent sure what the connection between depression and heart disease

Theyre more likely to eat highfat, highcalorie “comfort” foods, less likely to exercise, and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle, there is probably also a physiological link between dep
34、ression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of hearthealthy 03 fatty acids. People who are depressed also often have high levels of stress hormones(荷尔蒙). These keep the body primed for fight or flight, raising blood pressure and causing th
35、e heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries(动脉) and prevent the bodys natural healing mechanisms from working properly.A whole branch of medicine is devoted to the complex links between mental health, the nervous system, the hormone system and so on. This science
36、is gradually sorting out how the mindbody connection affects us, or defenses against heart disease.Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year. Although available treatments can ease symptoms(症状) in more than 80 percent of people treated, less
37、than half of those with depression get the help they need.5Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. DepressionHeart Disease Risk Factor.B. Heart DiseaseHealth Killer.C. DepressionMental Health Enemy.D. Heart DiseaseDepression Factor.6Which statement is NOT true according to the
38、 passage?A. With high blood pressure, depression is another potential risk to womens health.B. Depression, which is mild, can possibly cause damage to your health.C.

42、ng heart disease答案5A。本文主题为心脏病与抑郁症的关系，特别是抑郁症对心脏的影响，本文第一句便是提示。6C。本文最后一句“Although available treatments can ease symptoms(症状) in more than 80 percent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need.”说明不是所有的抑郁症患者都得到了所需的医治。7B。由第五段第三句内容知A项正确；由第五段第五、六、七三句内容可知，严重的抑郁还会导致体内某种脂
43、肪酸的缺乏和压力荷尔蒙过高，这些都会加重心脏的负担，故C、D项正确；只有B项文中未提及。8A。本文第五段第一句“Researchers arent sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is.”说明此问题尚未有定论，因此可推测A项正确。*结束 To all of you at Chinese love links，I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream
44、 about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I dont know how to speak Chinese
45、 and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I h
46、ad decided to write only to her. We communicated via email 23 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided
47、to marry and I want to bring her to the USA under the fiancee visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as nei
48、ther of us has children but we both want them.So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if youre not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When
49、 I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.Sincerely y
50、ours，Arthur5We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to _.A. help foreigners to travel in ChinaB. help both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marryC. help Chinese and foreigners make friendsD. receive letters from the USA6Which of the following is TRUE about Ar
51、thurs story?A. He was sure of finding a Chinese woman as his wife at first.B. He was determined to find a Chinese woman as his wife.C. He almost lost hope in finding a perfect wife until he found Ying.D. No women wrote to him before Ying.7Ying stood out from the rest because _.A. she was a Chinese B
52、. she had much in common with ArthurC. other women stopped writing to ArthurD. she was cute and nice and often phoned to Arthur8Arthur thinks _ is the most important in finding someone one wants to marry.A. being honest with the partner and oneselfB. help from the websiteC. difference in languages a
53、nd placesD. difference in cultures答案一个年过不惑的人多年苦苦寻找心中的红颜知己，一直未能如愿。一个牵线搭桥的网站成就了他的梦想，一对异国有情人最终走到了一起。5B。推理判断题。作者虽然已过不惑之年，可多年来一直未找到自己的意中人。后来，作者在Chinese love links这个地方找到了梦寐以求的对象，由此可判断这是一个给中外人士寻找伴侣牵线搭桥的网站。6C。细节理解题。根据第一段的后半部分可知作者在找到红颜知己前几乎放弃了能够遇到完美对象的希望。前两项在文中没有信息支持；根据第三段的开头部分可排除D项。7B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do.”可知作者之所以看中了她是因为她不但外貌美丽，而且与作者的价值观有很多共同之处，颇些情投意合。8A。推理判断题。作者在最后一段的前半部分提到假如不对伴侣和自己诚实，也许就找不到苦苦追寻的对象，由此可推断此项正确。
