A new study finds that the animal known as man’s best friend can also be a good friend to the heart. Researchers in California say they have found that even just a short visit with a dog helped ease the worries of heart patients.               

The study divided the patients into three groups. In Group A, a dog and a person visited each patient for twelve minutes. Patients in Group B received just a human visitor for twelve minutes. And members of Group C received no visitor, human or canine(犬的).

The dogs would lie on the hospital bed so the heart patients could touch them. The researchers say some patients immediately smiled and talked to the dog and the human visitor. Dogs, in her words, “make people happier, calmer and feel more loved.”

The researchers examined the patients before, during and after the visits. They measured stress levels based on blood flow and heart activity. They say they found a twenty-four percent decrease in the group visited by both a dog and a person. They reported a ten percent decrease in the group visited by a person only. There was no change in the patients without any visit. These patients, however, did have an increase in their production of the hormone epinephrine (epinephrine肾上腺素). The body produces epinephrine during times of stress.

The increase was an average of seven percent. But the study found that patients who spent time with a dog had a seventeen percent drop in their levels of epinephrine. Patients visited by a human but not a dog also had a decrease, but only two percent.

The author believes that _______.  

   A. the dog can take the place of most medicines

   B. the dog is the most popular pet for man

   C. the findings of the research cannot be trusted

   D. visits by a human work better than visits by a dog

Which of the following best shows the stress level changes in the groups of patients? BACC

  

From the research findings we may conclude that _______.

A. the less the body produces epinephrine, the better

B. the longer a visit lasts, the happier the patient should be

C. the patients enjoyed the dogs’ company more than the human visitors’

D. it’s impossible for heart patients to recover without dogs’ visits

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

  A. Worried Heart Patients               B. Epinephrine and Stress

  C. Good Friend to the Heart             D. Three Groups of Patients

【小题1】B

【小题2】A

【小题3】C

【小题4】C


解析:

【小题1】推理判断题。本题要求根据作者的遣词用句和表述方式判断其情感态度,这是对

较高层次的阅读能力的考查。A选项有些言过其实: 作者虽认同狗在病人康复过程中的

积极作用,但没有表明它可以取代药物;透过全文的字里行间,可以看出作者对该项研

究成果的极大兴趣和深度认同,故排除C项;仔细研究第4、5段提供的数据,可知狗

的探视比人的探视给病人提供的安慰更多,故排除D项;文章首句中known as man’s best

friend表面上似乎是陈述事实,实际上在字里行间表明了他(她)也认为狗是人类最好

的朋友。

【小题2】图表题。将文字信息转化为图表信息是考查阅读理解能力的很好的

题型。根据文章第2段和第4段,A组病人接受了狗和人的共同探视,其心理压力指数下降

了24%;B组病人只接受了人的探视,其心理压力指数下降了10%;C组病人没有得到任

何探视,其心理压力指数没有改变。图A正确地描述了上述信息。其他图便不必再深究了。

【小题3】归纳推理题。做这类题要特别注意将推理基于文章的信息之上,把握

好度。根据本文可知:人在经受不同程度的精神压力时,身体会生产肾上腺素,平均增

加7%。压力缓解,肾上腺素便下降。但未说明人体生产的肾上腺素越少越好。事实上,

根据医学常识,适量的肾上腺素对人体有着积极作用,故排除A项;文章没有说明探视

的效果与探视时间的关系,因而不可盲目做出结论,故排除B项;D项显然言过其实;

认真研究第4、5段提供的数据,可知C项正确。

【小题4】归纳主旨题。选项A意为“着急的心脏病患者”,不能表达本文主旨;选项A意为“肾上腺素和压力”,只是本文中的枝节信息;选项D意为“三组病人”,而本文并非主要谈论病人的情况;选项C意为“心脏的好友”,既表达了本文主旨,又生动新颖,引人注意。

  Tattoos(纹身)and body piercings(穿洞)have moved up on the trend list in recent years.Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink.Like all other subjects, we'll surely be faced with such situation.To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let's sit down and hear what they say.

  Kerstin Otto from Washington:

  The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn't be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.

  Erin from Indiana:

  I think body piercing is cool.In most situations, you don't really have to worry about it getting torn out.I go to Noblesville High School.I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade).Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent.I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I'll look bad.But that is my personal opinion.I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference.

  Tiara from Indiana:

  I personally think body piercing is sickening.If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them.I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing.Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous.I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.

  Lee from Illinois:

  Hi!I live in Illinois.I am 23.I have 12 tattoos and three piercings.I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector.You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work.People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg.Most of them don't know what it is.They just think the work itself is great.

  Subotai from California:

  I'm not prohibitive(禁止)of self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder.In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion.A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin.It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow's.

  Nagib from Washington:

  I wanted an earring.My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing.I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn't let me.Now I'm glad I didn't get it.I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn't have looked good with it.

  Jackson from Ohio:

  I don't think it's wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything -I think that's ridiculous.People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body-I don't think that's necessary.When I see naked chicks on guys, I think.“You have no respect for women.”

  Brittney from New York:

  You don't want to do stuff to your body.You don t need to do that because you were made perfect.You don't need to add piercings.If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay.If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it.But otherwise, don't mess with what you got.Maybe you should try something more substantial(充实的)to find beauty in yourself.
