Which of the following most logically completes the argument??
When people engage in activities that help others ,their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity.
And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not
boost longevity, because .
A.in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.
B.the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase
C.the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.
D.it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work throughout his or her life.
E.Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives.
參考答案為C ,cd有人建議A
文章:help→endorphins→longevity
藍色標記為題目(若自願幫助別人不會延長壽命,但是統計數字還是會顯示 自願幫助別人的人會活得比較久的原因
)欲取代的部分,
C:help→endorphins→mask the symptoms of various conditions and diseases
紅色標示部分即為取代題目藍色標示部分,
A:參加volunteer女性高於男性,而且女性比男性壽命長,所以參加volunteer人群的平均壽命長於一般人群平均壽命。
直接針對統計數字內的組成份子作探討。
能請大大,提出意見作討論,AC那一個比較好?謝謝
