追逐梦想2006

问一道CR题，是新东方绿皮书上的。一题填空题，没有搞清楚为什么选C，而不选A

56 Which of following most logically completes the argument?

  when people engage in activites 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 increase people's  longevity.

  And a statistic on adults who reguraly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average than adults who do not volunteer. However that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longetivity , 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.

C: the feeling of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time mask the symptoms of various conditions and dieases, provided the symptoms are mild.

这倒题目不知道是绿皮书从哪里搞来的，在大全里没有，有点怀疑答案的正确性。

自己的理由：

原文说：人们帮助别人，产生E，导致人感觉舒适。产生E增长寿命。一个统计资料说，乐于助人的人平均寿命长。但是，这个统计资料仍然会得到我们希望得到的结果（would be what we would expect），即使帮助别人没有延长寿命，因为        

（举出一个它因，既能否定帮助-->延寿的原因，又能使统计资料结果正确）

A:妇女更多帮助人，而且妇女活的更长。

我对这个选项有两种看法：(1)妇女寿命更长是天生的，而不是帮助别人造成的；很好的举出了它因，正确答案的首选；(2)妇女的寿命长不是天生的，而是帮助别人造成的。则不能成为正确选项；

C：舒适的感觉，至少在一定时期内掩盖了一些疾病的症状，只要这些症状是适度的。

但是掩盖症状不等于能够延长寿命，就得不到那个统计结果，怎么会是正确选项呢？

101也很珍贵哦。see,101只斑点狗，多难的。

可怜的蛋糕

我的理解是，A是无关选项，正如你说的，妇女长寿有其自己的因素

帮助人即便无法长寿，统计资料还是有其意义的，因为帮助人能令人心情愉快，这个符合前面所述的when people engage in activites that help others, their brain releases endorphins , the brain's natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being  符合 第一段的逻辑 长寿只是SUGGESTED

乐于助人--->E增加---->WELL BEING       结论 可能长寿

乐于助人--->E增加---->WELL BEING  --->掩盖疾病症状  提高生活质量

统计资料的意义在于 乐于助人是好事

唉，有些窝火，晚上做了逻辑绿皮书上的61-70，实在做不下去，太难了，10题错了4题，而且完全不知所云。这些题目超级BT，差点吐血而亡。搞的心情都暴差，一晚上没干什么正经事情。

是我逻辑退步了？还是题目太难了？花在逻辑上的功夫太少了？

怎样才能做到不以物喜，不以己悲？

我真希望自己的大脑能多分泌出一些安多芬 endorphins，让自己感到快乐一些。

谢谢蛋糕mm，我明天再来仔细研究你的解答。今天休战！
