单选题 Many doctors suspect that there may be some relationship between emotions and illness. How ever, they can not find a proof. It is until two decades ago when Louise Hay brings her books You Can Heal Your Body and You Can Heal Your Life to us, things get clear in our mind. In her book, over three hundred people were assessed in terms of their emotions for a two-week period. They were assessed for positive emotions they might be feeling, such as vigor, well-being, and calmness, as well as for negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, and hostility. Then they were each given a squirt in the nose of the virus that causes common cold. People with more positive emotional states were less likely to suffer from symptoms of the cold than people with negative emotional states and they restored to health in a short time. So there really does seem to be a link between emotional state and illness. According to her research, our emotions are fundamentally connected with all aspects of health. This belief is widely accepted by numerous medical workers.
Some physical problems are linked to emotional well-being. Our body and emotion are dependent on each other for us to be healthy. Chinese traditional medical theories also hold the same idea that excitement does harm to the heart, anger to the liver, depression to the lung, and fears to the kidney.
The immune system forms a solid protection to us. Whether or not we are likely to get disease depends on the work of our immune system. A person often feeling distressed may feel dizzy and develop heart disease, and the person feeling fearful is likely to get insomnia. Back pain has been attributed to a feeling of not being emotionally supported. Headache can be caused by a kind of strain from life and work. However, many of us must have experienced the miracle that the euphoria of a good day makes our ache go away. A positive person is more immune to the attack of diseases. Studies show that the system is in connection with our emotions. Therefore, emotions can be influential to one"s mental and physical health. A happy patient with cancer may live longer than a depressed and disappointed patient. This is why many doctors help patients to release emotional strain besides the physical treatment. One should keep happy all the time. Only by this way, one can make his life better and healthier.

文章首句提出很多医生都怀疑情绪和疾病之间可能有关联,但是没有足够的证据证明,A项属于偷换概念,故不选,同时可知B项符合文意;根据第一段第三句“It is until two decades ago when Louise Hay brings her books You Can Heal Your Body and You Can Heal Your Life to us, things get clear in our mind. ”可知,文章只是提到路易斯·黑的两本著作出版之后,情绪和疾病之间的关联性才变得清楚起来,但并没有明确表示她是一名医生,故C项错误;根据第一段可知,路易斯·黑的两本著作只是针对情绪和疾病之间关系的研究,并没有解决很多医学问题,故D项错误,故正确答案为B选项。

为了证明情绪和疾病是相关联的,文章共举了五个例子。分别是:经常烦恼的人可能会得心脏病,感到恐惧的人会患上失眠,缺少情感支持会引起背痛,生活和工作上的压力会导致头疼,乐观的癌症患者会比失望沮丧的病人活得更为长久,所以正确答案选择B项。

根据第三段最后一句“Headache can be caused by a kind of strain from life and work. ”可知,生活和工作上的紧张会引起头疼,由此可以推断出处于高度压力下的人很可能患上头疼病,A项符合文意;根据第二段第三句,“Chinese traditional medical theories also hold...excitement does harm to the heart...”可知,兴奋会对心脏而不是对肺有影响,故C项错误;根据最后一段倒数第三句“This is why many doctors help patients to release emotional strain besides the physical treatment”可知,除了接收身体治疗之外,病人保持心情舒畅对康复也有利,但是并不能直接得出这就是“最好的方法”,D项说法太片面;B项文中并没有涉及,故正确答案为A项。
