So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function.”可知我們的身體里有大量的免疫細(xì)胞，暫時(shí)停止運(yùn)作是可以的。特里弗斯合作研究身體是如何使用能量的，他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)解釋了這一現(xiàn)象。Energy, effort and response【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，研究表明，老年人往往會(huì)記住生活中積極的事物，而不是消極的事物。Ancestors, emergency and evolutionB.Brain, muscles and immune systemRealizing that their days are numbered, older people prefer being positive.D.Younger people adopt strategies of handling tense situations from everyday life.B.optimism and length of life（3）What can be concluded from Robert Trivers39。happiness and biological evolutionC.experiences and related knowledgeimmune system will temporarily shut down to fulfill itD.muscles will respond to it by relaxing a little bitB.re happy, but to slow down dramatically when we39。s cold.
