There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Although eating properly is important, being kind to others is also good tor your health. Studies show that people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.
In one study at Arizona State University researchers, found that many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act.  This feeling, called “a help’s high” may actually help reduce stress (压力) as the body releases (释放) naturally painkillers.
Stress can cause’ serious health problems, and heart depression, and .sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer *stress-related health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about themselves as well. They had higher self-esteem (自尊), and were’ happier. Many believe this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who are more outgoing are often healthier.
Another study at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center confirmed the health benefits of volunteering. A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn’t. Although you shouldn’t need a reason to be helpful, it is nice to know that kindness may help you live longer.

解析

试题分析：短文大意：本文主要说明善意的行为也有助于我们的健康：善意行为有助于释放压力，常常有善意举动的人们会更开心，更开朗；有善意行为的人会活的更久。
小题1:主旨大意题。通过题***mainly about可以知道本题为主旨大意题，首题为主旨，放在最后做。在做完余下四道题之后，我们对文章的大意有了一定的了解，文章论证了善意行为对人们健康的好处。故答案D项最为符合。所以选D.
小题2:推理判断题。本题属于全文推理，要以文章主旨为依据进行推理。正确选项一定是能概括通篇全文的。本文开头采用欲扬先抑的写作手法，引出文章的论点：善意的行为也有助于我们的健康。故apple的出现只是为了引出主题，是抛砖引玉中的砖，不能成为正确选项，故排除C、D。文章的重点在于善意行为对健康的影响，后文的论证都与健康有关，故B项正确。所以选B.
小题3:细节理解题。通过题干中的help’s high 定位到文章第二段This feeling, called “a help’s high” ，题干问的是怎样获得help’s high，再根据This feeling中的代词this可以看到前一句many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act.A项by volunteering your time是对performing a kind act的同义转述。所以选A.
小题4:细节理解题。本题通过题干很难定位准确，故可以通过选项来定位。通过四个选项我们可以定位到文章的2、3段，A、C项与文章内容相反，可以直接排除；B项定位到as the body releases  naturally painkillers，并没有做出比较，故错误。3段However后面的内容正是答案所在。因此选D.
小题5:细节理解题。通过题干信息Another study ，可以很容易的定位到文章的最后一段：A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn’t.此为细节理解的一一对应型，可以直接选出答案A。B项与文章的you shouldn’t need a reason to be helpful,相反，故错误；C项属于主观臆测，文章通篇都在客观的摆出研究的结果，want一词不妥，故错误。D项不在定位范围内，故错误。因此选A.
