（2019中考日常生活类训练）
Could your best friend make you fat?
Researchers who have studied“networks”of obesity(肥胖) think so：they found that if someone's friend becomes obese, that person's chances of becoming obese increase by more than half.
Brothers or sisters and a husband or a wife also have an influence, although reduced_people whose brothers or sisters became obese were 40 percent more likely to grow obese, while people whose husband or wife became obese were 37 percent more likely to.
“This is the first study to show how obesity spreads through the social network from person to person，”James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, who worked on the study, told in a telephone interviewing.
The researchers said their findings show that obesity is contagious—not like a virus which is contagious, but in a social sense.
It may help explain why obesity is worsening across the United States, with two thirds of Americans over weight and almost a third technically obese.
“It has become very popular to speak of the obesity epidemic.We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic，”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.
“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem，”Christakis said.
“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size，”he added.“You might say it's OK to be heavier.”
1．The underlined phrase“reduced people”refers to______.
A．the influence of people is smaller and smaller
B．fat persons are having less and less friends

2．What's the new finding of researchers in the passage?
A．Obesity is popular with Americans.
B．Obesity spreads from person to person.
C．Obesity can be spread like a virus.
D．Obesity is becoming an epidemic.
3．In what aspect do your fat friends have an impact on you?
A．They may influence you how to choose a lover.
B．They may assist you in forming a life value.
C．They may change your attitudes towards obesity.
D．They may help you understand what obesity is.
4．From the passage，we can infer that________.
A．it's better not to make friends with fat persons
B．obesity is a kind of disease that can spread

Passage B
One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is , you can take something positive out of it . The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning . That day , I happened to wake up earlier . I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center . My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident . Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again . When I watched family members looking for their loved ones , the pain in their eyes

was something I would never forget . I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened .
It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy . People seem different now , more understanding , more tolerant . Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things . Personally , I am more tolerant than I was . I realize life is too short , and too precious , to let myself get worried over small things . I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted . Things change in the blink of an eye . People go to work and don’t come back . One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not . And , it doesn’t matter who you are , there is nothing you can do about it . We never know when our time here will be over , so we all need to make the most of every minute we have .
You try to learn from what happened . You can’t be used up by it . You can’t live by it . All you can do is just live .
注：crash 撞击 reaction 反应 witness 目击 tragedy 悲剧 tolerant 宽容的 precious 珍贵的 take … for granted 认为……是当然的

Passage D
Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( )6. Those who have big houses may often feel ______.
A．happy B. lonely
C. free D. excited

Passage E
If babies are given more love and feelings by their mothers, they will deal better with stress and anxiety when they grow up, research has shown.
The study looked at eight-month-old children. That means even the very earliest life experiences can influence our happiness.
Lots of mother love makes children form a safe bond with their mothers, so they are able to feel safe in relationships when they grow up, and they will have better social skills and deal better with life’s difficulties.
The researchers, led by Dr. Joanna Maselko of Duke University in North Carolina, studied the relationships of 482 eight-month-old babies with their mothers during daily developmental assessment.
They studied how well the mother had dealt with her child’s developmental tests and how she had responded to the child’s performance .Mental health was then assessed when the babies had grown up-at the average age of 34.
The more feelings and attention a mother gave to her child, the better her child would be. This kind of child had the lowest levels of anxiety, hostility and general difficulty.
