Last week when I was sitting in my office, I heard an elderly lady talking on the phone about her husband. Her husband’s name was Ed. He dropped her off for her doctor’s appointment and was going to park the car and wait for her. She was so upset that she started to cry. I knew I should take action.
The lady told me her name was Helen and she called the restaurant she and her husband were going to have lunch at after her appointment to see if he was waiting for her there. She explained that she thought her husband parked the car in the parking lot and waited for her in the car but she didn’t find him there so she returned to see if he entered the medical building, but Ed was not there either. She regretted making her husband park the car alone since some signs of Alzheimer’ (早老性癡呆癥)had appeared in his behavior. I asked a few nurses to help look for Ed inside and out side the medical building according to Helen’s description. Then I offered to drive Helen to the restaurant to see if Ed was waiting for her there.
On arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant, Helen began to search for Ed’s car but she failed, which suggested Ed wasn’t there. We decided to have a talk with the manager before we returned to the hospital. On our way to the manager’s office, I received a call from a nurse, who said they had found Ed. What a relief(安慰)! But we still needed to go on searching since he forgot where he parked his car! Fortunately, we didn’t have much difficulty finding it.
As I waved goodbye to the couple, I thought, “This is true love in life. The love is not romantic but it stays with us all the time.”
1.  What did Helen do after she found Ed was missing?
A. She called the police.     B. She turned to the author.
C. She called the restaurant.  D. She searched for him everywhere.
2.  We learn from this passage that Ed              .
A. went to the restaurant himself     B. might have developed Alzheimer’s
C. visited his friend in the hospital    D. worried about his wife very much
3.  When did the author know that Ed was found?
A. After the author and Helen returned from the restaurant.
B. While the author and Helen were on their way to the restaurant.
C. Before the author and Helen found the manager of the restaurant.
D. When the author and Helen arrived at the parking lot of the restaurant.
4.  What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author was Helen’s friend.    B. The author had seen Ed before.
C. The author went to see his doctor.  D. The author worked in the hospital.

People who offer love, listening and help to others may be rewarded with better mental health themselves, according to a new study of churchgoers in the September/October issue of Psychosomatic Medicine.

The study is one of the first to track the positive health benefits of altruistic(利他的) behavior, says Carolyn Schwartz, Sc.D. of the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

"The findings really point up how helping others can help oneself," Schwartz says.

Schwartz and his workmates analyzed (分析) the information collected by the Presbyterian Church for 2,016 church members. The members were asked about how often they "made others feel loved and cared for" and "listened to others", and how often they received this attention in return.

The members also answered the questions about their mental and physical health. Most of the church members were in good physical and mental health to begin with, experiencing only normal levels of anxiety and depression. While the researchers did not find any significant differences in physical health clearly related to giving and receiving help, they concluded that giving help was a better predictor of good mental health than receiving help. But feeling crushed (壓倒) by others' demands can have negative psychological(心理的) effects, according to the researchers.

"Although our findings suggest that people who help others experience better mental health, our findings also suggest that giving beyond one's own resources is related with worse reported mental health," Schwartz says. Church leaders, older people, women and those who took satisfaction from prayer (禱告) were more likely to be helpers rather than receivers, according to the study. People who give help to others may be less likely to focus inward on their own anxieties and depression or more likely to see their own troubles in mind, leading to better mental health, say the researchers.

Alternatively, it may be that "people who are functioning well psychologically are better able and hence more likely to give help," Schwartz says.

 

69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Older people are more likely to help others.

B. The researchers got the result from those who were given help.

C. Altruistic actions may result in better mental health.

D. Feeling crushed by others' demands can be negative.

70. One reason why helping others results in better mental health is that _____.

A. the helper may pay less attention to his own anxieties

B. helpers may be rewarded by other church members

C. the receiver will share the sorrow with the helper

D helping others itself is a kind of physical exercise

71. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A. It's more blessed to give than to receive.   B. Well begun, half done.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.         D. Every advantage has its disadvantage.
