Acceptance of Chronic Illness

Holding on to hope may not make patients happier as they deal with chronic illnesses or diseases.
accorcting to a new study by University of Michigan Health System researchers.
"Hope is an important part of happiness,"said Peter A. Ubel, M. D. director of the U-M Center for
Behavioral and Decision Sciences in Medicine and one of the authors of the happily hopeless study,"but
there's a dark side of hope.Sometimes,if hope makes people put off getting on with their life,it can get in the
way of happiness."
The results showed that people do not adapt well to situations if they are believed to be short-term.Ubel
and his co-authors一both from U-M and Carnegie Mellon University一studied patients who had new
colostomies:their colons were removed and they had to have bowel movements in a pouch that lay outside
their body.
At the time they received their colostomy,some patients were told that the colostomy was reversible一that
they would undergo a second operation to reconnect their bowels after several months.Others were told that the
colostomy was permanent and that they would never have normal bowel function again.The second group一the
one without hope一reported being happier over the next six months than those with reversible colostomies.
"We think they were happier because they got on with their life.They realized the cards they were dealt,
and recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards,"said Ubel,who is also a professor in the
Department of Internal Medicine.
"The other group was waiting for their colostomy to be reversed,"he added."They contrasted their current
life with the life they hoped to lead,and didn't make the best of their current situation."
"Hopeful messages may not be in the best interests of the patient and may interfere with the patient's
emotional adaptation,"Ubel said."I don't think we should take hope away.But I think we have to be careful
about building up people's hope so much that they put off living their life."
选项 One group of the patients was happier because_________.
A:they made the best of their current situation
B:they were good at playing cards
C:they regained normal bowel function
D:they were promised another operation
答案A
解析根据第二段最后一句“Sometimes,if hope makes people put off getting on with their life,it can get in the way of happiness.”可知，有时候，如果希望使人们不能适应自己的生活，那么希望 就会阻碍幸福。也就是说，当人们能适应自己的生活时，就会更幸福。第五段也提到“We think they were happier because they got on with their life.”因此应选D。
根据第三段中“…studied patients who had new colostomies（结肠造口手术）…”可知B项 是正确答案。
根据第五段中“We think they were happier because they got on with their life.”和第六段 可知A项是正确答案。
根据第六段中“The other group was waiting for their colostomy to be reversed”和“They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead and didn't make the best of their current situation.”可知，不幸福的原因是B。
本文的中心意思是希望不一定都能带来幸福，有时在面对现实时，适应不幸才会更幸 福。A项“Giving up hope means giving up happiness.”和C项“Hope is what makes people move on.”都与本文主旨不符。D项“Hope frequently gets in the way of happiness.”中frequently使用 不当，故该命题是错误的。B项“Letting go of hope is at times a better choice.”符合本文主题。第5部分：补全短文
