In one of the strongest indications of the power of the mind 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 weren’t 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 high 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 .But 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 aren’t sure what the connection between depression and heart disease is, but theories exist. One is that people who are depressed tend not to take very good care of themselves. They’re more likely to eat high –fat ,high-calorie “comfort ”foods ,less likely to exercise ,and more likely to smoke. But beyond lifestyle ,there is probably also a physiological link between depression and heart disease. Recent studies found that people with severe depression tended to have a lack of heart-healthy O-3 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 the heart to beat faster, all of which put additional stress on coronary arteries (动脉)and prevent the body’s 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 is gradually soring out how the mind- body connection affects us , or defense against heart disease.

Generally, an estimated 10 percent of American adults experience some form of depression every year. Although available treatments can east symptoms (症状) in more than 80 percent of people treated, less than half of those with depression get the help they need .

1.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Depression -----Heart Disease Risk Factor      B. Heart Disease---- Health Killer

C. Depression ---- Mental Health Enemy            D. Heart Disease ---- Depression Factor

2.Which statement is NOT true the passage?

B. Depression,which is mild,can possibly cause damage to your health

C. Most people who experience depression get treated as they should be

D. Depression may have some influence on the function of heart disease medication

3.According to the passage ,the possible connections between heart disease and depression are the following EXCEPT______________

A. Depressed ones tend to eat high fat and high –calories food ,which leads to physical damage to heart

B. Severe heart disease may cause people to feel hopeless and depressed

C. Depression may result in the lack of some kind of acids ,which probably affects the working of people’s heart.

D. People with depression often have a high level of stress hormones ,maybe ,which will put extra pressure on one’s heart.

4.We can infer from the passage that _________

A. More researches will be done to find the certain links between heart disease and depression

B. The percentage of adults with depression is higher than that of depressed adults with heart disease .

C. One’s life style has relatively little relationship with one’s mental health.

D. Those with depression have a higher risk of developing heart disease.

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as

temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study

in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth

from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.

As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could

be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the

University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.

“This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve

plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a

statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because

previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the

world, “ he said.

Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a 6%

increase in the past decade.

Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued

to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.

Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a

complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in

combination with other factors such as nutrients (营养）and land management，will determine

future patterns and trends in productivity.，^，

1.From the first paragraph, we can learn in the recent decade or so.

A.     the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced

B.     draught has been causing loss of soil and water

C.     carbon dioxide levels have been rising

D.     the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth

2.Zhao Maosheng really worried that__ .

E.      more and more land will be abandoned

F.     the climate becomes warmer and warmer

G.    the emission of carbon dioxide increases

H.    draught further reduces the number of the plants

3.Steven Running made his statement to__ .

I.       confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise

J.      urge the government to take necessary measures

K.     warn the people to strengthen the plant protection

L.     support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production

4. We can infer from the passage that______ .

A.     global warming will determine the future productivity

B.     various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity

C.     earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade

D.     temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns

In the Fake News Era, Building Trust with Consumers Is Crucial

With consumers growing increasingly frustrated with online advertising and privacy concerns, how to you convince shoppers to buy your narrative（叙述）, let alone your product?

A recent report by Trust-Radius, a software review company that connects buyers and vendors（供应商）, may be able to shed some light. Among other interesting findings, it turns out that it may actually benefit brands to be painfully _____ about their products.

Consumer awareness of influencer marketing tactics（策略）is increasing. _____　 according to the report, most consumers trust online peer _____ as much as recommendations from friends -- and well above company advertising message. Feedback from everyday folks, it seems, actually carries more _____ than a brand ambassador （大使）from an out-of-reach personality.

Transparency（透明度）is crucial The report found that there is a large trust _____ between vendors and buyers. While vendors believe they are transparent, most buyers don’t appear to see it. During the sales process, for example, 85 percent of vendors -- _____ to be open about their product’s limitations during the sales process -- but　 only 36 percent of buyers share that same view. The reality is, consumers don’t expect any products to be _____ -- they just want to enter relationships with their eyes wide open so that they can _____ the options that are best for　 them. They also want brands to be more _____. 66 percent of consumers say they will leave a company if they feel they are being treated like a number and not an individual.

Along with the combination of take news, advertising fraud, and data leaks, there have been fake reviews as well. Review sites have been _____ giving preferential（优惠的）treatment to paid advertisers, and consumers are increasingly discerning（有辨别力的）, as a result. _____, review sites are not our only source of peer reviews, with social media providing customer experiences on a second - to - second basis. When brands treat every _____ with a customer as a potential review, they’ll start paying more attention to detail, and being alert to delivering a valued and memorable experience every time. Taking feedback seriously also lets current customers feel valued and respected and makes your business seem more approachable. This helps secure _____, and often, these customers　 will become brand ambassadors to their friends, family and people they meet online.

The challenge for brands today is determining how to use the _____ of the consumer to their advantage. In an age of cutting - edge technology, artificial intelligence, and self-service customer care, it’s odd to acknowledge that the best way to build trust with your customers is by holding an open _____ with your customers. Being more human, transparent, and listening to what people are saying will see your company thrive in an era marked by consumer suspicion.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

In today’s throwaway society，dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会)．

Recently，Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.

The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian，West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.

After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an

alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.

Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.

That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.(2011·湖北，C)

1.The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.

A．recycling　                         B．restoring

C．burying　                             D．burning

2.The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.

A．reduce the cost of burying waste

B．meet the EU requirements

C．speed up waste recycling

D．replace landfill sites

3.The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.

A．it came from a private company

B．the council was not interested in it

C．it was not supported by EU

D．the local people were against it

4.What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?

A．To open a new landfill nearby.

B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.

C．To set up a plant for burning waste.

D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.
