Q31

Which of the following most logically completes the argument??

When people engage in activities that help others ,their brain releases endorphins,

the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has

been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity.

And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others

shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. How-

ever, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not

boost longevity, because          .

A.     in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular

volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

B.     the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase

C.     the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask

the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are

mild.

D.     it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work through-

out his or her life.

E.      Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work

becomes a source of stress in their lives.

题目说

帮助别人－－－大脑释放一种E物质－－－1.获得很好的感觉/2.延长生命(推断)

研究表明，帮助别人的成人活的比不帮助别人的人活的长

然而，即使帮助人本身并不延长寿命，统计结果还是和大家的预期一样，既帮助别人的人活的长

那就是有其它的原因可以使得帮助别人的人活的长，那只有很好的感觉有可能了。

我们要找的是，有没有什么原因可以使得做好事的人活的长一些

A:无故把人分成男人和女人，文中说adult

B：同A，分成年青人和年级大的人

C：说feeling正确

D：确保老是做好事，莫名奇妙

E：由于内心的压力一些人做好事，无关选项

不同意Ｃ

Ｃ　是说ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｓ　ｏｆ　ｗｅｌｌ　ｂｅｉｎｇ　至少能在一段时间中让人觉得所生的病的症状较小或没生病。　但这也只是暂时，而且并不是治疗只是觉得症状少。　完全不合理。　

欢迎抬杠

I vote for A

women live longer  => volunteer live longer 

 women live longer than men => it is not  volunteering that  boost longevity

支持A

C is correct.

A is wrong for the following reason:

A)     in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular

volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.

Now take a look at the argument itself:

However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because          .

Obviously, longevity is not something we were expecting according to the argument. Please don't use our daily life knowledge to judge it.

Hence, A is not the correct answer.

支持A

理解原文最后一句话最关键:即使volunteering不能增加人的寿命,那组统计数据也一样,没有变化,都是volunterring比没有voluntering的人长寿.说明这组人比较特殊.这些人寿命本来就长,不作voluntering寿命也长. A的意思是那组数据统计的是妇女,而他们通常比较长寿.所以拿这些人去统计,结果会是比平均成年人长命,即使扣除他们做的volunteering使他们长寿的因素.
