27、t Africa 10._ and Latin America.第 6 页，共 10 页 Part III Reading comprehension(40 points)Section one(30 points)Directions:In this section there are two passages followed by multiple-choice questions.Read the passages and then mark your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One The empty nest may not be s

28、uch an unhappy place after all.Since the 1970s,relationship experts have popularized the notion of“empty nest syndrome,”a time of depression and loss of purpose that plagues parents,especially mothers,when their children leave home.Dozens of Web sites and books have been created to help parents weat

29、her the transition.The new research,published in November in the journal Psychological Science,shows that marital satisfaction actually improves when the children finally take their exits.Indeed,one of the more uncomfortable findings of the scientific study of marriage is the negative effect childre

30、n can have on previously happy relationships.Despite the popular notion that children bring couples closer,several studies have shown that marital satisfaction and happiness typically plummet with the arrival of the first baby.While having a child clearly makes parents happy,the financial and time c

31、onstraints can add stress to a relationship.After the birth of a child,couples have only about one-third the time alone together as they had when they were childless,according to researchers from Ohio State.The arrival of children also puts a disproportionate burden of household duties on women,a co

32、mmon source of marital conflict.After children,housework increases three times as much for women as for men.After comparing the womens marital happiness in their 40s,when many still had children at home;in their early 50s,when some had older children who had left home;and in their 60s,when virtually

33、 all had empty nests,researchers found that the empty nesters scored higher on marital happiness than women with children still at home at every point.The subjects claimed that they spent just as much time with their parents whether the children were living at home or had moved out,but the quality o

34、f that time was better.The findings from researchers on the empty nest show that parents need to work to carve out more stress-free time together.In the sample studied,it was only relationship satisfaction that improved when children left home.1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Empty

35、nest syndrome is one obvious sign of diagnosing depression.B.Parents will equally suffer from the loss of their children.C.Mother will feel greatly lost when their children get married.D.Parents can get help or comfort from web sites and books.2.The word weather(Para.1)may refer to _.A.influence B.e

36、ndure C.escape D.override 第 7 页，共 10 页 3.According to the passage,why do parents have better relationships in the period of empty nest?A.Because they have free time to have a travel outside.B.Because they are free from taking care of their children.C.Because they will enjoy more privacy than ever be

37、fore.D.Because they can shake away their family responsibility.4.Which of the following is not true about couples inferred from the passage?A.Couples have less marital happiness for the coming of the baby.B.Couples have to earn more money after having a baby to support family C.Couples have more con

38、flicts whether they should have a baby.D.Couples have to spend more time in taking care of their baby.5.This passage is mainly about _.AHow women feel about their marital relationship.BWhat causes the phenomenon of the empty nest CHow people deal with empty nest syndrome DWhy an empty nest brings pa

39、rents closer together Passage Two Happiness is contagious,researchers reported on Thursday.The same team that demonstrated obesity and smoking spread in networks has shown that the more happy people you know,the more likely you are yourself to be happy,and getting connected to happy people improves

40、a persons own happiness.Christakis research team,a group of political scientists at the university of California,have been using data from 4,700 children of volunteers in the Framingham heart study,a giant health study begun in Framingham,Massachusetts in 1948.They have been analyzing facts from tra

41、cking sheets dating back to 1971,following births,marriages,death,and divorces.Volunteers also listed contact information for their closest friends,co-workers,and neighbors.They assessed happiness using a simple,four-question test.People are asked how often during the past week:one,I enjoyed life;tw

42、o,I was happy;three,I felt hopeful about the future;and four,I felt that I was just as good as other people.The 60 percent of people who scored highly on all four questions were rated as happy,while the rest were designated unhappy.People with the most social connections were also the happiest,the d

43、ata showed.Each additional happy person makes you happier.Your happiness depends on what is going on around you.It is not just happy people connecting with happy people,which they do.Above and beyond,there is this contagious process going on.And they discovered happiness is more contagious than unha

44、ppiness.If a social contact is happy,it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15%.A friend of a friend,or a friend of a spouse or a sibling,if they are happy,increase your chances by 10%.But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that youll be unhappy by 7%.The finding is inter

45、esting but useful on the other hand.Among other benefits,happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality,pain reduction,and improved cardiac function.So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to promote a healthier society.The study also fits in

46、 with other data that suggested that in 1984 having$5,000 extra increased a persons chances of becoming 第 8 页，共 10 页 happier by about 2%.A happy friend is worth about$20,000,Christakis said.His team also is examining the spread of depression,loneliness,and drinking behavior.6.The word contagious(Par

48、use its an emotional stampede.B.The finding is from an analysis of tracking sheets of 4,700 children volunteers.C.The 40%of volunteers scored highly on all four questions.D.The more people a person knows,the happier he would be.9.Which of the following about the contagiousness of happiness is not tr

49、ue?A.Happy social connections will increase the possibility of ones happiness.B.Even unhappy friends will be influenced and become happy.C.People can benefit a lot from happiness on health.D.Money will increase a persons chance of having more social connections.10.Whats the passage mainly about?A.Ho

50、w happiness functions among people.B.How happiness spread among people.C.How happiness is closely related to health.D.How Christakis researches happiness.Passage Three After Susan Joyce was laid off from Digital Equipment Corp.,she was horrified to hear of two suicides in her layoff group.Then she l
