高中月考阅读测验一题：
Everyone loves the good times. They bring more money, prosperity, and
happiness to our homes. But, as the old saying goes, what goes up must come
down. For every boom that occurs, it seems there is a slump secretly waiting
around the corner. Although the bad times might lighten your bank balance,
research shows they can sometimes improve your health.
For years, researchers assumed that tough situations created more stress and
pain for people. However, more recent findings suggest that this is not
always the case. For people used to living the good life, the bad times can
actually be a time of rest and rejuvenation. With overtime cut, many people
find more time to spend in the gym or with their families. As budgets
tighten, healthy home-cooked meals replace dining out, and outdoor activities
can take the place of a night in the town.
But the bad times are not necessarily a healthy time for everybody. In fact,
they can create some serious problems for lower income families. As jobs are
lost, many people are left unable to afford their health care programs.
Without access to doctors and medical care, health issues can worsen
dramatically. Also, during economic downturns, deaths related to mental
illnesses and depression are shown to rise.
As it turns out, the bad times can also be a bad time to be born. A study of
twins in Denmark indicated that on average, people born during recession don’
t live as long and suffer more heart problems than those born when the
economy is on a roll. So whether the hard times will help or harm a person’
s health depends a lot upon their financial states.
52. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) How people cope with bad economic situations.
(B) How good times and bad times affect people’s lives.
(C) The influences that bad times have on people’s health.
(D) The health problems that people suffer in bad times.
答案是B，我选C
其实B是第一个被我删走的，
因为文章只用了good time 入题，
内文的二三四段根本没提及good time，
B用来当陷阱还说得过，
所以... B我觉得是 100% 的陷阱，
没想到答案就是B @口@!
想请教各位前辈对这题的想法，
麻烦了，谢谢^^

1F：→ cerenis:当然是B啊…？ 02/27 00:11
2F：→ cerenis:这样推文好像很不负责任XD，以英文文章结构来说，主旨通常 02/27 00:17
3F：→ cerenis:都在开头跟结尾就讲完了，再来就是或许不是以GOOD TIMES这 02/27 00:17
4F：→ cerenis:样的词出现，但语意却是好日子的词还是有在二三段出现过。 02/27 00:18
5F：→ cerenis:第三段好像没有XD，但第二段还是有提到哦。 02/27 00:19
6F：→ dunchee:我也会选C good times在第一段确实只是入题用，功能上只是 02/27 00:27
7F：→ dunchee:用来介绍第1段的结尾-> bad times ... health 会需要这样 02/27 00:28
8F：→ dunchee:子题(用good times来引入)是因为这不是一般人知道的观念， 02/27 00:28
9F：→ dunchee:所以才需要先从大家熟知的good times来引入，之後的2,3,4 02/27 00:29
10F：→ dunchee:就只在这上头打转(同时也提了bad times对health有关的 02/27 00:30
11F：→ dunchee:negative影响，算是顾及正反两方) 第2段只有提到good 02/27 00:31
12F：→ dunchee:life(这不算good time(s) ) 之後的内容也没提到good time 02/27 00:31
13F：→ dunchee:所以B不会是答案 C 才是 02/27 00:32
14F：推 nw4m:good life就算good times了啊，很明显地同意表达。 02/27 01:03
15F：→ nw4m:B才是答案 02/27 01:04
谢谢大家的回答...
其实我是被 "research shows they can sometimes improve your health"这句所影响
认为这句才是中心主旨句，所以就选C了

16F：推 ely6231:问主旨我通常会选文章每个层面都有涵盖到的选项，若是问 02/27 02:01
17F：→ ely6231:"请给这篇文章下个最恰当的标题..."我才会去考虑文章结构 02/27 02:02
18F：→ ely6231:及作者的思路。不过好像沦为考试技巧了@@ 02/27 02:03
