For 85 years, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked an original group of 724 men and more than 1,300 of their male and female descendants(后代) over three generations, asking thousands of questions and taking hundreds of measurements to find out what really keeps people healthy and happy.
Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its bond to physical health, mental health and longevity: good relationships.
In 2008, researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s every night for eight nights. Researchers spoke to each partner separately and asked them a chain of questions about their days.
On days when these men and women spent more time in the company of others, they were happier. Like most older people, those in the Harvard Study experienced day-to-day rises and falls in their levels of physical pain and health difficulties. But researchers found that the people who were in more satisfying relationships were cushioned(缓冲) somewhat from these ups and downs of the mood—their happiness did not decline as much on the days when they had more pain. Put simply, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect.
Elizabeth Gillespie, a therapist of couples, stated that although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well-being.
Today we live in much more complicated environments, so meeting our social needs presents different challenges. We might be sitting on a gold mine of vitality that we are not paying attention to, because it is hidden by the shiny appeal of smartphones or pushed to the side by work demands.

2.How did the researchers carry out the study?

D.By comparing the results from different people.
3.Why did the author mention the examples in Paragraph 4?
A.To prove the bond between health and longevity.
B.To introduce the concept of physical pain and health difficulties.
C.To show the unhappy marriages' negative impact on elders' mood.
D.To support the satisfying relationships' positive impact on people's lives.

Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU's School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.
The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative(亲和的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.
Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one's intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond the frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked.
The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one's face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, you know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf.
5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study?
A.Its impact. B.Its findings.
C.Its limitations. D.Its significance.
6.What can facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings?
A.A way to frighten competitors.
B.A method of hiding personalities.
C.A tool for showing personal quality.
D.A strategy to settle disagreement.
7.What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Copy. B.Overlook. C.Interpret. D.Remember.
8.What will the author advise based on the findings of the study?
A.Always wearing a still face.
B.Learning to be an open book.
C.Speaking out inner emotions.
D.Forcing a smile through tears.

译文 我们可能正坐在一座我们一直没有注意的有活力的金矿上,因为它被智能手机闪亮的吸引力遮住了,或者被工作需求推到一边。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to find out what really keeps people healthy and happy”可知,哈佛大学成人发展研究项目的目的是揭示健康和幸福的秘诀。故选B。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s”可知,研究者通过追踪特定群体来实施研究。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。第二段提到良好的人际关系是影响身体健康、精神健康和长寿的一个重要因素,第四段是对第二段主题的具体例证,作者通过研究来展示满意关系如何改善人们的生活,尤其是在面对健康挑战时能起到保护作用。选项D准确捕捉了这一目的,因为例子直接证明了满意关系能缓冲负面情绪,提升幸福感。故选D。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well-being”可知,Elizabeth Gillespie 认为拥有好的社交关系对健康至关重要。故选A。

5.B 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study...noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations...”可知,本段主要在讲这项研究的发现。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。根据题干中的“negotiation”可定位至第三段。由第三段中的“In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward...for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts.”可推测,面部表情在谈判环境中能作为一种解决分歧的策略。故选D。
7.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable’,”可知,丰富的表情更“可读”,即更容易被理解和解读,所以“一张生动的脸更容易被人解读意图和精神状态”。画线词decipher与interpret意思相近,意为“解读”。故选C。
8.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The findings challenge...Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one's face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions.”可知,对于大多数人来说,让自己的脸反映内心状态和意图可以招来更友好的反应;结合第一段中的“Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion”可推测,作者建议我们要做一个易于了解的人,通过面部表情表达自己的情感和意图。故选B。
