It affects people’s health positively in that they don’t feel lonely. They know they have other people to rely on and this helps them build a positive attitude towards life and its difficulties. Dr. Smith is talking about how the community spirit of a small town called Roseto impactd on the residents’ health in a radio programme. Listen and answer the questions. 1. What surprising facts did doctors discover about Rosetans in the 1950s? There was hardly a Rosetan below 65 who’d experienced heart attacks. People there were dying of old age rather than from illness. There was very little crime. 2. What was the reason for the facts? According to an earlier study, the reason for the low rate of Rosetans’ heart attacks was the community itself. Roseto was a very closely-knit (紧密联系在一起的) community. People there looked after each other, visited each other often. Almost all households consisted of three generations. Old people were respected. The social network they enjoyed protected them from the pressure of the modern world. Listen again. Complete the table about the Roseto community in the 1950s and 1960s.
