Researchers used information from the Framingham Heart Study, which began
35、in 1948. The Framingham study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. 高三英语试题（共 10 页）第 6 页 At first, the study involved about five thousand people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than twelve thousand individuals are taking part. Information
36、from the Framingham study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking. University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely.
37、 They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups. Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend

Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and
39、sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men.

42、 loneliness spreads. However, the study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. 32. What does this text mainly talk about? A. Loneliness being harmful. B.
