Romance does not have to fizzle out(失。 in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier 1 .
"Many believe that 2 love is the same as passionate(多情的)love," said lead researcher Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD, then at Stony Brook University (currently at University of California, Santa Barbara). "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component(過度成分). Passionate or obsessive love includes 3 of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love 4 drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones."
These findings 5 in the March issue of Review of General Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.
Acevedo and co-researcher Arthur Aron, PhD, reviewed 25 studies with 6,070 individuals in short- and long-term relationships to 6 whether romantic love is associated with more satisfaction. To determine this, they 7 the relationships in each of the studies as romantic, passionate (romantic with obsession) or friendship-like love and categorized them as long- or short-term.
The researchers looked at 17 short-term relationship studies, which included 18- to 23-year-old college students who were 8 , dating or married, with the average relationship lasting less than four years. They also 9 at 10 long-term relationship studies including middle-aged couples who were typically married 10 years or more. Two of the 10 ncluded both long- and short-term relationships in which it was possible to distinguish the two samples.
The review found that those who reported greater romantic love were more 11 in both the short- and long-term relationships. Companion-like love was only moderately 12 with satisfaction in both short- and long-term relationships. And those who reported greater passionate love in their relationships were more satisfied in the short term 13 to the long term.
Couples who reported more satisfaction in their relationships also 14 being happier and having higher self-esteem.
Feeling that a partner is "there for you" 15 or a good relationship, Acevedo said, and facilitates(促進(jìn)) feelings of romantic love. On the other hand, "feelings of insecurity are generally associated with 16 satisfaction, and in some 17 may spark conflict in the relationship. This can manifest(表白) into obsessive love," she said.
This discovery may change people's 18 of what they want in long-term relationships. According to the authors, companionship love, which is what many couples see as the natural 19 of a successful relationship, may be an unnecessary compromise(妥協(xié)). "Couples should strive for love with all the trimmings(修剪)," Acevedo said. "And couples who've been together a long time and wish to get back their romantic edge should know it is an attainable(可達(dá)到的) goal that, like most good things in life, 20 energy and devotion."

本文說明了浪漫愛情可以持續(xù)一生,并且通往更幸福、更健康的關(guān)系。完成本題應(yīng)該結(jié)合自己的和實(shí)際生活中的人們的愛情觀。
1. C 浪漫愛情可以持續(xù)一生,并且通往更幸福、更健康的關(guān)系(friendships),而學(xué)問(scholarships),友誼(friendships),伙伴關(guān)系(companionships),明顯不合適。
2. B “很多人以為浪漫(romantic)之愛和激情之愛是一回事,全文說的主體就是浪漫愛情,而不是過分關(guān)心的(obsessive),也不是多情的(passionate),更不是陪伴(companion)。
3. A激情的或者強(qiáng)迫性的愛情包含了不確定和焦慮的感覺(feelings),無論是那種情都是一種情感感覺,而不是因素(factors),結(jié)果(consequences),和障礙(barriers)。
4. B這種愛情有助于(helps)驅(qū)動的是短期關(guān)系而不是長期關(guān)系,貢獻(xiàn)于(contributes)要和to搭配,阻止(prevent)和加速(speeds)都顯得不合適,不能讓語意通順。
5. D這些研究結(jié)果刊登(也就是出現(xiàn)appear)在美國心理學(xué)會出版的《普通心理學(xué)評論》三月號上,而不是發(fā)生(occur),拿走(take),寫(write)。
6. A 以檢驗(yàn)(就是找到結(jié)果,也就是find out)浪漫愛情是否與更高的滿意度相聯(lián)系,計(jì)算出(work out),拿出(take out),取出(bring out)等等不符合語意邏輯。
7. B為了證實(shí)這一點(diǎn),他們把每項(xiàng)研究中的愛情關(guān)系歸類(classified)為浪漫的、激情的(浪漫加上強(qiáng)迫成分)和友誼式的,再分為長期和短期關(guān)系兩類。Separated:分離,divided:分開,cut:剪開,都不能表示這樣的意思。
8. C其對象包括18-23歲的單身(就是single)、戀愛中或已婚的大學(xué)生,單身是說沒有結(jié)婚,而不是單獨(dú)(alone),孤獨(dú)(lonely),和唯一一個(unique)。
9. D他們還看了(looked)10個對于長期關(guān)系的研究,其對象包括結(jié)婚10年或更久的中年夫婦。匆匆一看(glanced),瞪眼看(glared),目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地看(stared),這三個詞都與at搭配,但是表示的意思都帶有感情色彩,也不符合語意。
10. D其中兩個研究(studies)同時包括了短期和長期關(guān)系,這兩組樣本是區(qū)分開來的。前文用的都是研究,而不是發(fā)現(xiàn)(findings),測試(examinations),和實(shí)驗(yàn)(experiments)。
11. C那些報(bào)告出更多浪漫成分的人都對自己的愛情關(guān)系更滿意(satisfied),而不是不高興(unpleased),失望(disappointed),和絕望(desperate)。
12. B 。在短期和長期關(guān)系中,伙伴式的愛情都只有中等程度的和滿意度相關(guān)(associated),涉及(referred),爭斗(contended),和沖突(conflicted),顯然不合時宜。
13. A而那些報(bào)告出較多激情成分的人在短期關(guān)系中比(比較和比較的對象之間是被動關(guān)系,故用過去分詞compared,而不是現(xiàn)在分詞comparing)在長期關(guān)系中滿意度更高。Added(加上)和led(導(dǎo)致),根本就沒有比較的意思。
14. A對愛情關(guān)系滿意度較高的夫婦或戀人同時也報(bào)告(reported)出較強(qiáng)的幸福感和較高的自尊。前文用的就是report,而說(said),相信(believed),和希望(hoped)明顯不是針對研究,
15. B感覺伴侶“與你同在”有助于(make for )建立良好的愛情關(guān)系,take for的意思是把……當(dāng)做…..,意味著(means)依賴(depends)通常和for不搭配,構(gòu)不成一定意義上的短語。
16. B不安全感通常伴隨著較低的(lower)滿意度,而不是較高的(higher),根本沒有(no)和很多(much)。
17. D有時(就是有些情況下 in some cases)還會導(dǎo)致愛情中的沖突。Environments往往指的是自然環(huán)境,state說的是物體所處的物理狀態(tài)。Air是空氣和氣氛,明顯不符合邏輯。
18. B這個發(fā)現(xiàn)或許會改變?nèi)藗儗﹂L期關(guān)系的一般預(yù)期(expectations),觀點(diǎn)(views)看上去對,但是這兒不強(qiáng)調(diào)人們對愛情的認(rèn)識,而是能在多大程度上讓自己滿意,這就是期望或預(yù)期,更不是評論(remarks)和陳述(statements)。
19. A研究者稱,雖然伙伴式的愛情在很多夫婦看來是成功愛情關(guān)系的自然發(fā)展()階段,但它實(shí)際上可能是一種不必要的妥協(xié)。改變(change),結(jié)果(results),選擇(choice)不能表達(dá)這樣的意思。
20. C ,它需要(requires)投入精力才能達(dá)成。生產(chǎn)(produces),滿足(satisfies),消耗(consumes)不能表達(dá)這樣的意思。

Temperature is part of my married romance. Coming to New York from Baltimore--where there is just one small snowstorm each year---I was 36 by a fireplace in my new home, with fires 37 all day, just as what ancient people did at a wedding.
My husband, Peter, comes from northern Ontario, where winter 38 from September to May and cold wind is 39. “When Canadians have 30 below, they 40 it.” He says. “Cold wind is for crybabies.”
So to marry this man I had to learn to 41 for serious cold. To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots—comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 43 we were getting serious
That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d 44. My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48.
49, having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50 went on a second date with a man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. I am 52, in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.
The word comfortable did not 53 refer to being contented. Its Latin root, comfortare, means to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter: not to make us comfortable, but to make us 54. We 55 not be warm but we are indeed comforted.

Tracy Caulkins is known as the first American to set an American record and win an American title in each of four swimming strokes(泳姿): breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, freestyle.
Tracy Caulkins was born in Minnesota and lived in Iowa until she was six. She began swimming when she was eight, after the family had moved to Nashville, Tennessee. While unwilling at first to swim in cold water or get her face wet, she began to train in earnest (認(rèn)真地) as her talent became clear. Though her father worked for the public schools, the family sent her to a private school when the public schools could not accommodate (適應(yīng)) her training schedule.
At age 13, Tracy Caulkins took part in the trials(選拔賽) for the 1976 Olympics, but did not make the team. She continued to win national and international titles, and was disappointed in 1980 when the U.S. didn’t attend the Moscow Olympics. She continued to train and compete.
In 1981, Tracy Caulkins began college, graduating in 1985. In college, she continued competing and training, though she had slowed down from her peak (頂峰) years.
Caulkins trained especially hard for the 1984 Olympics, and not only made the team, but was captain of the swim team and at Los Angeles, won three gold medals and was named Sportswoman of the Year by the U.S. Olympic Committee. After that she retired from swimming, and was a commentator (解說員) for swimming events as well as taking advantage of her fame to do business.

Writer Jean Stafford scoffed, “Happy people don't need to have fun,” but studies show that the absence of feeling bad isn’t enough to make you feel good;you must try hard to find sources of feeling good. Research shows that regularly having fun is a key factor in having a happy life;people who have fun are 20 times more likely to feel happy.
Recently, I noticed a pattern among activities that people find fun:Have a mission. There’s something about having a playful purpose,of trying to achieve something that makes an activity more fun.
For example a friend told that she loved visiting flea markets(舊貨市場)and antique stores to look for old globes-not fancy ones,but cheap ones. She has a rule that she'll never pay more than$20. She’s the kind of person who loves wandering around in those kinds of shops in any case,but having a mission makes it more fun, less aimless.
For that matter,having a collection of any sort is a very popular way to have a mission. You get satisfaction whenever you find another piece of blue sea glass on the beach or another out-of-print book by Charlotte Yonge in an old bookstore.
Taking photos is a common way to incorporate(使并入) a mission into traveling. Not only does this help keep memories vivid, it also makes you more attuned(協(xié)調(diào)一致)to your environment while traveling. For example,during my most recent visit to New Haven,I had a lot more fun wandering around once I set myself the mission of taking tourist photos of my own romance.
Why is this true? The First Splendid Truth holds that to be happier,you have to think about feeling good and feeling right,in an atmosphere of growth. The more I’ve thought about happiness,the more surprised I’ve been at the importance of the “atmosphere of growth.” I think this is a huge engine of happiness, and when you have a mission, you create an atmosphere of growth whenever you pursue that mission.
Have you found a way to have a mission? What is it and does it boost your happiness?
1.. According to the author, happy people____
A. don't need to have fun
B. don't have to be occupied with work
C. can have 20 times more fun than others
D. are always finding sources of feeling good
2.. What does the underlined phrase “Having a mission" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Have fun. B. Join in an activity.
C. Find something interesting to do. D: Hunting for a job.
3. The author explains the key factor in having a happy life by____.
A. making a comparison B. presenting numbers
C. stating common sense D. using examples
4.. What will be probably the best title?
A. How to live happily
B. Where to look for fun
C. The importance of feeling good
D. Having a mission can make you happier

They say money doesn’t grow on trees. But it certainly appears to do so on the mysterious coin-studded(嵌滿) trunks dotted around the UK’s woodland. The strange phenomenon of old trees with coins fixed firmly all over their bark has been spotted on trails from the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands. The coins are usually knocked into felled (砍伐的) tree trunks using stones by passers-by, who hope it will bring them good fortune.
These fascinating spectacles often have coins from centuries ago buried deep in their bark and warped by the passage of time. The tradition of making offerings to gods at wishing trees dates back hundreds of years, but this combination of the man-made and the natural is far more rare. It used to be believed that god’s spirits lived in trees, and they were often decorated with sweets and gifts — as is still done today at Christmas. The act is like tossing money into ponds for good luck, or the trend for couples to attach “l(fā)ove padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance. Some pubs, such as the Punch Bowl in Askham, Cumbria, have old timbers with splits in them into which coins are forced for luck. There are seven felled tree trunks with coins pushed into them in the picturesque village of Portmeirion, in Wales.
Meurig Jones, an estate manager at the tourist destination, told the BBC, “We had no idea why it was being done when we first noticed the tree trunk was being filled with coins. I did some detective work and discovered that trees were sometimes used as ‘wishing trees’. In Britain it dates back to the 1700s — there is one tree somewhere in Scotland which apparently has an old coin stuck into it. ” He said that a sick person could press a coin into a tree and their illness would go away. If someone then takes the coin out though, it’s said they then become ill. We haven’t made it known at all, it’s just happened,” he added. “It’s quite amazing really.” In Scotland, there is also a legend about a kissing tree. If a young man could drive a nail into a tree with one blow, he earned a kiss from his sweetheart.
1.What was the real reason why in UK people knocked coins into the old trees?
A.It was hoped that it would bring them good future and make the trees more beautiful.
B.Nobody knew why there was such a strange custom that it could make them lucky.
C.It might come from the tradition of making offerings to gods hundreds of years ago.
D.It was said that god’s spirits lived in trees and doing so could please the gods of the trees.
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 may mean ____________.
A.this combination of the man-made and the natural is far from realistic.
B.the mysterious phenomenon of old trees with coins is rarely seen in the world.
C.people wanted to make the works of art with the help from the forces of nature.
D.the appearance of trees would be nicer than their original.
3.The passage mainly tells us that________.
A.some people attached “l(fā)ove padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance
B.a(chǎn) particular way in which people made good wishes is still popular in the UK
C.visitors tossed money into ponds for good luck just as they knocked coins into the trees
D.a(chǎn) long history of a strange phenomenon of old trees with coins in the UK
4.Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
A.Who Says Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees?
B.Do Trees with Some Coins Become Valuable?
C.Is It Really Amazing to Have Coins Fixed into Trees?
D.What Is the Purpose of Knocking Coins into Trees?
