Optimism May Help People Live Longer
People who have an optimistic view on life are more likely to live longer, a US study said on Wednesday.
The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, analyzed data from 2025 to 2025 from 70,000 women enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Study, a long-running US study tracking women’s health via surveys every two years.
The researchers looked at participants’ levels of optimism and other factors that might play a role in how optimism may affect mortality risk, such as race, high blood pressure, diet, and physical activity.
It found the most optimistic women, or the top 25%, had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in the study compared with the least optimistic women, or the bottom 25%.
The most optimistic women had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from cancer; 38 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease; 39 percent lower risk of dying from stroke; 38 percent lower risk of dying from respiratory disease; and 52 percent lower risk of dying from infection.
Previous studies have linked optimism with reduced risk of early death from cardiovascular(心脑血管的) problems, but this was the first to find a link between optimism and reduced risk from other major causes.
“While most medical and public health efforts today focus on reducing risk factors for diseases, evidence has been mounting that enhancing psychological resilience (弹性, 复原力) may also make a difference,” said Eric Kim, research fellow at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and co-lead author of the study.
“Our new findings suggest that we should make efforts to boost optimism, which has been shown to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”
The study also found that healthy behaviors only partially explain the link between optimism and reduced mortality risk. One other possibility is that higher optimism directly affects our biological systems, Kim said.
Co-lead author and postdoctoral research fellow Kaitlin Hagan said optimism can be varied with relatively uncomplicated and low-cost interventions (干预), even things as simple as having people write down and think about the best possible outcomes for various areas of their lives, such as careers or friendships.
“Encouraging use of these interventions could be an innovative way to enhance health in the future,” Hagan said.

Eames House
In the 1940s, with a wave of American soldiers’ heading home from World War II, the magazine Arts & Architecture hoped to drum up interest in a new form of mass housing that was inexpensive and easy to construct from exiting materials. The magazine approached designers and architects like Richard Neutra, Eero Saarinen, and Charles and Ray Eames to come up with plans for modern house, and the magazine would publish them.
The idea was that the blueprints would vary according to a family’s individual needs. Charles and Ray Eames chose to design for their own situation — a working couple that needed a house and space for working, but had no children at home. The result was Case Study House No. 8 in Pacific Palisades, Calif, where the Eameses made their home.
The family has stayed in the house and it is home to the Eames Office, which promotes the continuation of both Charles’s and Ray’s ideas. The outside of the house and studio has been open to self-guided tours for years. Not so the inside, which is filled with Eames-designed artwork and furniture.

The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At a recent count, there are around 50000 of them in the UK, some of which date back to as far as the 5th and 6th centuries. The oldest — Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans — was established in 795.
Because of their abundance, the names pubs take were designed to be memorable---but more than that, they were designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all?
The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to inform passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.
The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would arrange to meet “at the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than “at the Eagle and Child.”
Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors from more trafficked(可贩卖的)paths. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing — more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980—but for now there are still more than enough around that you can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one.
28. What is special about British pub signs?
A. They copy famous art B. They show British life
C. They have unique pictures D. They include the history of the pub
29. The first British pub signs were mainly used to ____.
A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby
C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby
30. Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in ___________.
A. size B. style
C. material D. purpose
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of British pubs
B. The importance of British pub signs
C. Why British pubs have illustrated signs
D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】英国传统的酒吧是英国生活的一部分。根据最新统计，英国有大约5万家酒吧。其中有些可以追溯到五六世纪。本文重点介绍了英国酒吧独特的标牌。
28. 推理判断题。根据Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration (插图) that represents the name of the 。故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink 。故选B。
30. 推理判断题。根据Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some 。所以酒吧标牌的目的与以前不同。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容得知本文讲述了英国酒吧标牌带插图的原因。故选C。
【解题剖析】此题属于主旨大意中的（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。
D
Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.
Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?
第 7 页
Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.
At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.
Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.
But if beauty pays in most circumsta
