Passage 3

Having a sense of purpose may add years to your life, regardless of what the purpose is, research suggests.

Not only does it contribute to healthy aging, but it may also stave off early death, according to a study of 7,000 Americans.

The research, published in Psychological Science, applies across adult life, says a US-Canadian team.

It may be because purposeful people look after their health better and are physically fitter, they believe.

The study tracked the physical and mental health of more than 7,000 US adults aged 20 to 75 years.

Their purpose in life was assessed by the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with three statements:

Some people wander aimlessly through life, but I am not one of them. I live life one day at a time and don’t really think about the future. I sometimes feel as if I’ve done all there is to do in life.

When followed up 14 years later, the researchers found purposeful people had outlived their counterparts, even when controlling for other factors such as negative mood.

Furthermore, the added years did not appear to depend on the person’s age, or whether or not they had retired from work.

In other words, having a purpose in life appears to be good for you across the adult years, the researchers say.

Dr Patrick Hill, of the department of psychology at Carleton University in Canada, said the notion of living a life of purpose — setting large goals that direct your day-to-day activities — seemed to be protective on a number of fronts.

“In this study it is mortality, but other studies have shown people report better health,” he told BBC News.

“There is clearly a benefit from feeling a sense of direction or feeling you have these goals directing your day-to-day life.”

Passage 3

9.【答案】B。解析：主旨题。文章首句总领引出文章主旨，即：研究表明，拥有目标感将会增加你的寿命。接下来便通过一项实验来具体说明研究结果。因而文章主要讨论的就是“拥有生活目标与预期寿命之间的关系”。A项表述过于笼统，宽泛;C项只是文章的论据;文中并未谈及两者间联系的原因故排除D。因此本文答案为B。

10.【答案】B。解析：推断题。因为文章讨论的是拥有人生目标可以延长寿命。所以反向推断，如果一个人没有设立人生目标，那他的寿命相对而言就可能会短一些。因此，四个选项中，A项的目标是“计划开一家健身俱乐部”，C项的目标是“十年内成为一名富人”，D项的目标是“用自己的钱购置一所大房子”。所以，只有B项没有体现出人生目标，故选B。

11.【答案】A。解析：出处推断题。如果是一篇report(报告)或journal期刊，应该详细地描述研究的假设、过程及结论，但是这篇文章对于研究只是进行了简单地描述，故排除B和D;C. magazine指刊登各种文章、小说、诗歌、评议的杂志，但是此篇文章是跟科学内容相关的，故排除。再根据文章倒数第二段：he told BBC News. 可推断出文章应来源于报纸，故A正确。
