5、eQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.As Charles Dickens wrote, No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. And science has shown that altruistic (利他主义的)behaviors-defined as putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return

6、actually do improve our health. Volunteering, for example, has been shown to minimize stress and improve depression. It can reduce the risk for cognitive impairment. It can even help us live longer. It also appears that giving can help us cope with pain. A 2017 study found chronic pain sufferers who

7、 volunteered reported decreased pain along with an improved sense of purpose.A new series of studies may have found one reason why: regions of the brain that react to painful stimulation appear to be instantly deactivated (使变迟专电)by the experience of giving. “Whereas most of the previous theories and

8、 research have emphasized the long-term and indirect benefits for altruistic individuals, the present research demonstrated that participants under conditions of pain benefited from altruistic acts instantly/9 the study authors wrote.The studies, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National A

9、cademy of Sciences, tested various scenarios of altruism in 287 people. One found that those who volunteered to give blood after an earthquake experienced less pain than those who did a routine test, despite the use of a larger needle. A second discovered people who freely gave their time to revise

10、a handbook for the children of migrant workers experienced less pain when exposed to cold temperatures than people who did not volunteer.In another study, the researchers recruited cancer patients living with chronic pain and asked them to cook and clean for themselves or for the benefit of others a

11、t their treatment center. When they were helping others, their pain levels dropped. When they did the work for their own personal benefit, the pain-relieving effect was reduced by over 62%.In the most telling study, researchers asked participants to consider donating money to help orphans; if they c

12、hose to do so they were asked to rate how helpful they believed their donation would be. The brains of those participants were then scanned via MRI while they received a nasty electric shock to their hands. Results showed the pain-control centers in the brains of those who donated reacted less to th

13、e painful sensation than those who did not give money. Not only that, but the more people believed their altruistic actions were helpful, the less their brain responded to the pain.In addition, the authors found it was the meaning people gave to their good deeds that predicted how much pain the brai

14、n would perceive. While more research is needed, the authors believe that medicine should consider using altruism to supplement current behavioral therapies to treat pain. Prior research found the act of giving stimulated the reward centers of the brain, producing a sort of helpers high.”In which wa

20、around.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Abstaining from food for 16 to 18 hours a day could be key to treating a variety of health conditions-even if youve got to train yourself to push past the hunger. A review of past animal and human studies in The New England Jour

21、nal of Medicine suggests that intermittent fasting (间歇式禁食)can reduce blood pressure, aid in weight loss and improve longevity.What is intermittent fasting, and is it healthy? The report functions as a road map of sorts for physicians to prescribe fasting as a method of prevention or treatment for ob

22、esity, cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Study author Mark Mattson, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, focuses on two types: Daily time-restricted feeding (eating 6-8 hours a day and fasting for 16-18 hours) and 5:2 intermittent fasting (fasting two days a week, usually limit

23、ing a fasting day to 500 calories).The catch? Most Americans dont intermittently fast (the norm is three meals a day plus snacks) and thus physicians are less inclined to consider fasting a solution to a broad range of health conditions, according to the review. Because the research is relatively ne

24、w, the report advises physicians to monitor their patients throughout intermittent fasting and gradually increase the duration and frequency of fasting to guide their transition.How it works? Intermittent fasting has been studied in mice and overweight adults to improve health across the spectrum, t

25、hough its not clear if those benefits are the result of weight loss. Alternating between fasting and eating can improve cellular health, Mattson said, most likely by triggering metabolic (新陈 代亍射 的)switching. In metabolic switching, cells use up their fuel stores and convert fat to energy一achieving a

26、 switch from fat-storing to fat-saving.The benefits. Findings on intermittent fasting range in the diets effectiveness, but some studies in animals and humans have linked the practice to longer lives, healthier hearts and improved cognition. The article points to the residents of Okinawa, known for

27、their extreme longevity and low-calorie, nutrient-rich diet. Their intermittent fasting might contribute to their life spans and prevent obesity, the authors assumed.How to succeed at intermittent fasting? Intermittent fasting is thought to improve insulin (胰岛素)resistance, which can stabilize blood

28、sugar levels. Findings from a small 2018 study found that three men with type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-related diabetes, were able to stop taking insulin after losing weight from intermittent fasting-findings that clash with the widely-held belief that diabetes is incurable.A previous study (

29、that Mattson co-authored) showed the switch can increase resistance to stress by optimizing brain function and neuroplasticity, or the brain5s ability to adapt to developments throughout ones life. And older adults who were put on a restricted-calorie diet showed improved verbal memory compared to t

30、wo other groups who hadnt fasted, a 2009 study found. Physical function even improved for some patients.50.
