They were so useful for storing and transporting wine at the time that they were eventually adopted by all of the cultures aroun

11、d the Mediterranean. Its uncertain when they first arrived in Rome, but Greek colonists in southern Italy may have been the first to introduce them.Previously, wine had been stored in leather sacks, but amphora offered several advantages to the Romans. They were airtight, strong, relatively lightwei

12、ght, and had two large handles that made them easy to carry, an important feature at a time when almost everything had to be transported by hand. Like modern wine bottles, aphora had long, narrow necks that limited the amount of wine exposed to the open air. Similar to modern wine bottles, most amph

13、oras became gradually thinner at the end. It made them easy to bury in the ground, which kept them cool during the warm months.Sealing up the top of an amphora was a major difficulty and a variety of methods were used. The Egyptians stopped theirs with leaves and reeds covered with clay. The Greeks

14、and Romans used rags and cork sometimes. None of these techniques provided an airtight seal, so Aleppo Pine resin（松脂）was used to seal the gaps around the top. It became so popular that resin was sometimes added to the wine in order to improve its flavor. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder, writing in

15、the first century, recommended adding resin to wine and believed resin made from trees in the mountains created a better aroma than resin made from trees in the lowlands.Though each amphora was constructed by hand, they were surprisingly uniform. Roman amphoras held one cubic foot of liquid, exactly

16、 seven gallons, and eventually became a standard unit of measurement throughout the Roman Empire. Unlike Greek amphora, Roman amphoras were not decorated. Before it dried, each amphora was given a stamp with the name of the workshop where it was manufactured or the workshops owner. Once the amphora

27、in the American Journal of Epidemiology, analyzed data from 2004 to 2012 from 70,000 women enrolled in the Nurses Health Study, a long-running US study tracking womens health via surveys every two years.The researchers looked at participants levels of optimism and other factors that might play a rol

28、e in how optimism may affect mortality risk, such as race, high blood pressure, diet, and physical activity.It found the most optimistic women, or the top 25%, had a nearly 30 percent lower risk of dying from any of the diseases analyzed in the study compared with the least optimistic women, or the

29、bottom 25%.The most optimistic women had a 16 percent lower risk of dying from cancer; 38 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease; 39 percent lower risk of dying from stroke; 38 percent lower risk of dying from respiratory disease; and 52 percent lower risk of dying from infection.Previous st

30、udies have linked optimism with reduced risk of early death from cardiovascular (心脑血管的) problems, but this was the first to find a link between optimism and reduced risk from other major causes.“While most medical and public health efforts today focus on reducing risk factors for diseases, evidence

31、has been mounting that enhancing psychological resilience (弹性，复原力) may also make a difference,” said Eric Kim, research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and co-lead author of the study.“Our new findings suggest that we should make efforts to boost optimism, which has been show

32、n to be associated with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of coping with life challenges.”The study also found that healthy behaviors only partially explain the link between optimism and reduced mortality risk. One other possibility is that higher optimism directly affects our biological system

33、s, Kim said.Co-lead author and postdoctoral research fellow Kaitlin Hagan said optimism can be varied with relatively uncomplicated and low-cost interventions (干预), even things as simple as having people write down and think about the best possible outcomes for various areas of their lives, such as

34、careers or friendships.“Encouraging use of these interventions could be an innovative way to enhance health in the future,” Hagan said.1、According to the recent study, optimism can _.Ahelp women live longer than menBenable people to stay healthyCcure people of high blood pressureDmake woman stay you

37、searchers, political scientists and economists are increasingly interested in the characteristics and skills that parents, teachers and schools should foster in children to increase chances of success later in life,” said lead author Marion Spengler, PhD of the University of Tubingen.” Our research

38、found that specific behaviors in high school have long-lasting effects for ones later life.”Spengler and her co-authors analyzed data collected by the American Institutes for Research from 346, 660 U. S. high school students in 1960, along with follow-up data from 81,912 of those students 11 years l

39、ater and 1,952 of them 50 years later. The initial high school phase measured a variety of student behaviors and attitudes as well as personality characteristics, cognitive abilities, parental socioeconomic status and demographic(人口统计的)factors. The follow-up surveys measured overall educational atta

40、inment, income and occupational prestige(声望).Being a responsible student, showing an interest in school and having fewer problems with reading and writing were all significantly associated with greater educational attainment and finding a more prestigious job both 11 years and 50 years after high sc

41、hool. These factors were also all associated with higher income at the 50-year mark. Most effects remained even when researchers controlled parental socioeconomic status, cognitive aibility and other broad personality characteristics such as conscientiousness.While the findings werent necessarily su

42、rprising, Spengler noted how reliably specific behaviors people showed in school were able to predict later success.Further analysis of the data suggested that much of the effect could be explained by overall educational achievements, according to Spengler.“Student characteristics and behaviors were

43、 rewarded in high school and led to higher educational attainment, which in turn was related to greater occupational prestige and income later in life,” she said. “This study highlights the possibility that certain behaviors at crucial periods could have long-term consequences for a persons life.”1、

44、Whats the finding of Marion Spenglers research?ATeachers play a decisive role in students later successBPersonality characteristics are more important than academic performancesCHigher educational attainment has little to do with occupational prestigeDBehaviors in the high school should be highly st

46、is likely to contribute to later success according to the research?AParental socioeconomic statusBOverall educational achievementsCCognitive abilityDHard work4、Why did the researchers control some factors like parental socioeconomic status?ATo avoid the previous mistakesBTo highlight the effects of
