26、es got a lot of heart. Then what about bad emotions? When you feel so sad that your heart aches, could it actually be true? A new study shows what goes on in your mind can, literally, break your heart. In the study, just published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers loo

27、king at more than 63,000 women who were participants in the 2Nurses Health Study, found that, those who reported basic symptoms of depression had a higher-than-normal 3of heart attack. And women who were clinically depressed were more than twice as likely 4other women to suffer sudden heart attack.

28、None of the participants had heart problems at the studys 5, but nearly 8% had symptoms of depression. The researchers theorize that depression might have some direct physiological impact on the heart-like 6it to work harder in the face of stress. Or it may be that the antidepressants (抗抑郁药) 7 to tr

29、eat those with mood problems were associated with heart diseases; in the study, sudden heart attack was linked more 8with antidepressant use than with womens symptoms of depression.

31、owed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer._(l)College students are more stressed out than ever beforeat least according to the latest findings of a large, national survey that has

32、been conducted annually for the last 25 years. The survey includes more than 200,000 students attending nearly 300 colleges and asks them to rate how their own mental health stacks up with their classmatesfor example, is it above average or in the highest 10%? (2)This somewhat unusual methodology ty

33、pically results in the statistical Lake Woebegon effect in which most people tend to overestimate themselves in relation to others (it refers to the fictional Lake Woebegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average). But the most recent resu

34、lts indicate that fewer and fewer freshmen feel like they are in top form in terms of coping with stress. (3)A quarter century ago, nearly 70% of freshmen put themselves in the top 10% of mentally stable people in their class; today only 52% rate themselves that highly, down 3 points since last year

35、. Students self-esteem, however, is still strong: a full 71% of freshmen put themselves in the top 10% in terms of academic abilities. Its hard to know what these numbers actually mean: obviously, its not mathematically possible for 52% or 71% of people to be in the top 10% of anything. And, as I ex

36、plored earlier, peoples attempts to compare themselves with others are skewed (倾斜) in various ways. Nevertheless, the finding is in line with previous research, which found that almost half of all college students who seek counseling now have a major mental illness. Thats more than double the rate s

37、een 10 years ago. (4)So whats going on? Obviously, the economy and high unemployment rate make for a scary time to be in college, potentially facing terrifying levels of debtthat alone could account for the increase in stress. (5)Secondly, a much more rigorous large study recently found that empathy

38、 among college students had declined 40% since 2000and since caring relationships are essential to mental and physical health, a decline in empathy could also produce a decline in mental health and coping. (6)My final point brings us back to my earlier post on a Stanford study that looked at the psy

39、chological effects of comparing ourselves to others. It found that the way people tend to conceal their negative emotions while broadcasting their happy ones makes the rest of us feel somehow less thanas though all our friends and neighbors have better lives than we do. Social media sites like Faceb

40、ook and Twitter seem to have made these comparisons even more harmful by providing the perfect venue through which people can continually present a. perfect version of themselves. (7)This phenomenon, too, might tie into why the new survey, The American Freshman: National Norms, found that students a

41、re feeling less confident about their level of emotional and mental stability. If all the students around you are desperately trying to put on a happy faceand you perceive that face as a true reflection of their inner selves, even as you work to hide your own sadnesswell, its not surprising that so

42、many students might be getting a bit stressed out. (8)Instead, if students were encouraged to feel safe expressing their honest emotions, even about their fears and failures, everyone might feel more connected, happierand, yes, healthier.（分数：8.00）(1).What is true about the result of the survey?（分数：2
