34、 you listen, answer Questions i to 10 by circling True or False. You will hear the conversation ONLY ONCE.You now have 1 minute to read Questions 1 to 10./I（分数：10.00）(1).People who have a lot of stress are more likely to become sick.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文1-10 Scientists are now studying a new fie
35、ld of research called psychoimmunology. It is based on the idea that people who are depressed or have a lot of stress are more likely to become sick. Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test this theory, psychoimmunologists are trying to find a
36、link between the brain and the immune system. The immune system in our bodies fights the bacteria and viruses which cause disease. Therefore, whether or not we are likely to get various diseases depends on how well our immune system works. Biologists used to think that the immune system was a separa
37、te, independent part of our bodies. Recently, however, they have found that our brain can affect our immune system. This discovery indicates that there may be a connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression, and illness. Although many doctors in the past suspected a connection b
38、etween emotional factors and disease, they had no proof. Scientists have only recently discovered how the brain and the immune system function. Before this, no one could see a link between them. As a result, medical science never seriously considered the idea that psychological factors could cause d
39、isease. Several recent studies showed a connection between stress and illness. For example, researchers went to an American military school to study the students. By studying the cadets blood, they found that many were infected with a virus which causes mononucleosis, a common glandular disease. Of
40、the infected students, only 5 percent actually became ill. The sick cadets had a lot of academic pressure and wanted to achieve, but they were not very good students. In a similar study, researchers studied a group of student nurses. They focused on cold sores, which are also caused by a common ,vir
41、us. Many student nurses carried the virus in their blood, but few of these infected nurses actually developed cold sores. The nurses who did develop cold sores were the ones who described themselves as generally unhappy people. In addition to these results, which support their theory, researchers ar
42、e also looking for proof that stress can damage the immune system. Researchers studied recently bereaved people, i. e. , people whose loved ones have just died, because they are more likely to become ill or die. By examining the immune system of recently bereaved people, the researchers made an impo
43、rtant discovery. They examined some white blood cells, called lymphocytes, which are an important part of the immune system. They were not functioning properly. The fact that they were not working correctly indicates that severe psychological stress, such as a loved ones death, may damage an importa
44、nt part of our immune system, namely, the lymphocytes. There is still no positive proof of a connection between the immune system and psychological factors. Researchers also say that the results of the studies on bereaved people could have a different explanation. For example, bereaved people often
45、sleep and eat less than normal, or may drink alcohol or take medication. These factors can also affect the immune system. More research is needed to clearly establish the connection between the immune system and psychological factors.(2).Our immune system in our bodies causes disease.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.
