27、hy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿 )? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the Ame
28、rican Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also
29、 more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however
30、, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which m
31、ight explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Un
32、fortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of chi
33、ldhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental h

The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is _.A. to see whether peoples personality affects their life spanB. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD. to examine all the factors

They generally appear more resourceful.D. They are more likely to get over hardship.34. What finding of the s

Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D. Readiness to accept new ide
