1、Acceptance of Chronic Illness
For chronically ill patients, giving up the hope that they will get better may actually lead to more happiness, U. S. researchers suggest.
\of hope. Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get in the way of happiness,\Ubel from the University of Michigan Health System said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues studied patients who'd just had a colostomy (结肠造口术), which means their colons (结肠) were removed and they had to have bowel (肠) movements in a pouch (小袋) outside the body. At the time of the surgery, some patients were told the procedure was reversible and they'd have a second operation in a few months to reconnect their bowels. Other patients were told the colostomy was

permanent.
The patients were followed for six months, and the researchers found that those without hope of regaining normal bowel function were happier than those with reversible colostomies. \They realized the cards they were dealt, and recognized that they had no choice but to play with those cards,\Ubel said. \other group was waiting for their colostomy to be reversed. They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead, and didn't make the best of their current situation. \
The study, published in the November edition of Health Psychology, also may explain why people whose spouse dies often recover better emotionally over time than those who get divorced, the researchers said.
That's because people whose husband or wife dies have closure (结束), while those who get divorced may still have hope for some chance of making up, they explained.

2
B.Letting go of hope sometimes is a better choice.

D.Hope frequently gets in the way of happiness.
正确答案:B
答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要通读全文。文章第一段实际就是全文的主旨段落，谈到，对于病人来说放下治愈希望会更幸福，第二段第一句谈到，希望有时候会有不好的一面，第四段，第五段都提到了研究者发现放下治愈希望的病人比持有希望的病人要开心，回来看选项，B项和原文句意相符，是答案。
