20、 the context.A recent study has shown that levels of _39_ illness in children are rising. The study claims that mental problems such as depression and anxiety are affecting one in five _40_. One of the reasons given for this is the current preoccupation (极其关注) of parents with their childrens _41_.Pa
21、rents today consider the streets too dangerous for their children so children are taken from home to _42_ and back, and their parents rarely let them go out _43_ their own.This preoccupation has two causes: fear of _44 _ accidents and anxiety about child molesters (骚扰者) and murderers on the streets.
22、 Parents fears make their children anxious about the outside world and children in turn _45_ the normal adventures of everyday life. _46_, they dont learn how to form _47_ with other children. Anxiety makes children often become victims of bullies and their fears are, therefore, realized and even in
23、creased. It is a vicious (恶性的) _48_.It is a fact, however, that children could be experiencing these fears unnecessarily. _49_ parents may think a child molester lurks (潜藏) round every corner, this is not _50_ by statistics: very few children are attacked by people they dont know.The fear of traffic
24、 accidents is certainly more real but it is something that needs to be addressed by society in general. Some cities in the Netherlands, for example, have created traffic-free zones and pedestrian-friendly zones, _51_ cars, if allowed, must give priority to people and bicycles. Children can, therefor
25、e, play more safely in these areas. There are, however, critics of this study. Many child psychologists believe that this lack of _52_ is not enough to cause mental problems. They consider the problems more _53_ to be a result of family breakdown in modern society. 39. A. seriousB. mentalC. bodilyD.

29、thy people happier than seriously ill ones? Not necessarily. In a study described in The Journal of experimental Psychology, a group of people with end-stage kidney（肾）failure were provided with electronic devices that required them to record their moods at various times throughout the day. For compa
30、rison, a group of healthy volunteers used the same devices. When researchers had studied the results, they found that the levels of happiness were about the same for the two groups.The researchers, led by Dr. Jason Riis of Princeton when he was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, also
31、found that the healthy people greatly overestimated how unhappy the sick ones would be. And the sick people overestimated how happy healthy ones would be. For the study, 49 kidney disease patients who were undergoing dialysis（透析）sections three times a week were given personal digital assistants, as
32、49 healthy volunteers were matched to the patients by age, race, education and sex. When the devices beeped, the subjects were asked to rate their mood on a 5-point scale, with 2 defined as “very pleasant” and minus 2 defined as “very unpleasant”. On average, the kidney patients rated their mood as
33、0.70, while the healthy subjects rated it as 0.83. The participants were also asked to describe other emotions they might be feeling, including joy and anxiety, and to describe their levels of physical comfort. And sometimes they were asked, “How do you feel about your life as a whole?”A better unde
34、rstanding of how well people are able to adapt to poor health, the researchers said, could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care. Earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy. But these patients were not given a chanc
35、e to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time, Dr. Riis said, and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.54.
