[E]The results, despite their objectivity, may not entirely please doctors, whose time with patients is already tight. “Clinicians look for: ‘You have it or you don't,’” says Wright's fellow author Laura Kubzansky, an assistant professor in the department of society, human development, and health at the Harvard School of Public Health. “Psychological factors are not so simple. You can't say, ‘Oh, this is a non-hostile person’ in the way that you can say, ‘This is a nonsmoker.’ It makes the whole endeavor harder.”
    
    [F]Recently, in the journal Thorax, they published one of the first studies to show that hostility is a risk factor for poor lung function among older men. The researchers found that men who were more hostile at the outset of the study suffered a more rapid rate of decline in their lung function than others. Moreover, the study found that damage to lung function from hostility was comparable to the amount of damage done by cigarettes, an effect even the investigators were surprised to see. That means, says Wright, “Just as smoking can hurt your lungs, harboring hostility may be harmful.”
    
    [G]The researchers analyzed data from a long-term study of 670 men aged 45 to 86 whose hostility and lung function were measured several times during an eight-year period. Lung function was assessed using a spirometer, which measures subjects’ lung capacity and rate of airflow when they blow into a tube. Hostility, defined as a personality trait that leads to chronic anger, was measured by a widely used true-false questionnaire that assesses mistrust, resentment, and suspiciousness.
    
    [H]Both Wright and Kubzansky say that this research has made them more focused on how people become hostile in the first place. “It changes the way I parent,” says Wright, who is the mother of two children. “When they get furious, I’ll sit down and have a conversation with each of them—one I wish I could have had myself when I was young—about how anger at his brother affects him, and about how it affects his brother.”
    
    （一）答题步骤及方法
    
    1.精读题目已经给出的首尾段落，推测所要选填内容谈论的中心。
    
    由于排序题对逻辑严密性要求，一般来说，选填内容的5个段落逻?-性较强，所谈论内容的中心单一，一旦通过首尾句判定出选填内容的中心，那么在下一步的通读选项中就会有意识的确定每个选项内容和中心的关系，方便下一步对题目的正确解答。
    
    2.通读选项，了解每个选项内容，确认选填部分内容明确的中心并勾画出每个段落中的特征词（特征词分析见第一节选择填空内容），根据特征词排定大概顺序。
    
    3.再次精读题目已给出的首段内容，根据其内容和结合西方语言习惯确定41号空选填内容。
