There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didnt have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expen

21、sive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents.

Secrecy (保密) is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety, depres

29、sion, symptoms of poor health, and even the more rapid progression of disease. There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms: hiding secrets is hard work. You have to watch what you say.New research, however, suggests that the harm of secrets doesnt really come from the hiding after all.

30、The real problem with keeping a secret is not that you have to hide it, but that you have to live with it, and think about it.To better understand the harms of secrecy, researchers first set out to understand what secrets people keep, and how often they keep them. They found that 97% of people have

31、at least one secret at any given moment, and people have, on average, 13 secrets.Across several studies, researchers asked participants to estimate how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others, and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social interacti

32、ons. They found that the more frequently people simply thought about their secrets, the lower their well-being.Following up this research, a new paper reveals why thinking about secrets is so harmful. Turning the question around, the consequences of telling secrets are examined. Researchers found th

33、at when a person reveals a secret to a third party, it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in the dark. Rather, it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments.Therefore, if you choose to still keep something secret, t

34、alking to another person can make the world of difference. Secrets dont have to hurt as much as they do.1、Which is not one of the harms of keeping secrets?ABeing physically sick.BMental problems.CHarmed relationships.DHiding somewhere.2、Why is keeping secrets so harmful?ABecause you must hide them.B

35、Because you often think about them.CBecause its difficult to keep secrets.DBecause you must watch what to say.3、How can people reduce the harm of keeping secrets?ABy working hard.BBy keeping 13 secrets.CBy thinking about the secrets.DBy telling secrets to a third person.4、Which is the text probably

36、taken from?AAn advertisementBA research reportCA biology textbook.DA travel brochure.24（8分）What can a 4-year-old do to end hunger? Start a hunger-relief organization.
