Loneliness has been linked to depression(抑郁) and other health problems Now a study says it can also spread A friend of a lonely person was fiftytwo percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness And a friend of that friend was twentyfive percent more likely to do the same
Earlier findings showed that happiness obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham Massachusetts
The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease Since then more tests have been added including measures of loneliness and depression
The new findings involved more than five thousand people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends
For example loneliness can affect relationships between nextdoor neighbors The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about fortyeight days a year The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends—and more likely that society will reject(排斥) them
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks
24 As an average person if you make 2 more common friends how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness
A 48 days B 43 days C 65 days D 17 days
25 What can we infer from the passage about lonely people
A They can overcome loneliness themselves
B They will decrease loneliness day by day
C They need help to get back to normal social life
D They can help others to repair their social networks
26 What's the best way to help lonely people according to this passage
A Bring them together B Make friends with them
C Help them stop smoking D Help them lose weight
27 Which of the following would be the topic of the passage
A Loneliness and social network B Social Networks and friendship
C Loneliness and diet D Help A Lonely Person
C
Why can some people sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet while others are awakened by the lightest sound To find the answer sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12 selfdescribed deep sleepers After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers they took part in a threenight study in the university’s sleep laboratory The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed
During the night the deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds like street traffic toilets flushing and an airplane flying overhead Next door the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves
As expected all of the participants slept relatively well but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions Some of the sleepers didn’t wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70 decibels(分贝)others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels
The researchers discovered that the difference in a sleeper’s reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called sleep spindles(纺锤体) A sleep spindle is a burst of highfrequency brain activity coming from deep inside the brain during sleep The source of the spindles is the thalamus(丘脑) a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex(皮层)
Before the study the Massachusetts researchers theorized that the spindles are the brain’s way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep They found that sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise
Scientists already know that most people become lighter sleepers with age most likely because older people experience less
slow wave sleep which is the deepest stage of sleep People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in the number of sleep spindles still predicted their risk for awakening because of noise
More research is needed but the findings suggest that a better understanding of sleep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders For example future studies may try to determine whether diet exercise or other behaviors may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night
28 Some participants can sleep well through loud noises mainly because ______
A their brains don’t respond to outside noises B their brains react differently to noises
C they adapt too the environment quickly D they don’t pay attention to the monitors
29 Scientists believe that the key to affecting deep sleep ______
A sleep spindles B stages of sleep C sleep disorders D sensory information
30 It can be learned from the passage that______
A The older a deep sleeper becomes the lighter his sleep must be
B The more slow wave sleep one experiences the deeper sleep one has
C The more frequently a sleeper’s brain works the less information it sends
D The deeper sleep people have the more likely they will be awakened by noise
31 From the passage we can predict______
A more factors in influencing sleep spindles may be discovered
B more solid sleepers will take part in relative experiments
C sleep spindles will be applied to change one’s behaviors
D deep sleepers will probably enjoy a more healthy life
D
A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to read human personalities
The eyes they say are the windows to the soul And if that is true computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms(算法)may soon have the ability to peer into your soul That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience
Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality wrote the researchers led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements then determines their personality traits(特点)with wellestablished questionnaires for determining personality type according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily
The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits such as neuroticism extraversion(外)agreeableness conscientiousness as well as perceptual curiosity the scientists wrote
The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other hightech devices even robots allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines Loetscher said
People are always looking for improved personalized services Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to nonverbal information Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural and better at interpreting human social signals
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper
32 What do the underlined words peer into in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A understand B stare at C search for D concern about
33 How did the researchers conduct the research
A It was carried out in a lab
B 42 subjects' eye movements were recorded
C The students' daily movements were tracked
D Its subjects' personalities were determined by computer
34 According to Tobias Loetscher what can we know
A Robots and computers are socially conscious
B People care less about improved personalized services
C Today's robots and computers can accustom to nonverbal information
D The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines
35 What can be a suitable title for the text
A Human Personality Traits B What Human Eye Movements Are
C Tell Personalities by Eye Movements D How Humans and Machines Interact
