Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2026·江苏镇江一中六校联考)
When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health—and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being.
A recent study found that the strength of a person's social circle—as measured by cell phone activity—was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the "quantified self" presented by endless amounts of health data doesn't tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.
"There's a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements," Chawla says. "And they are strong determinants of my well-being."
A 2019 study set out to determine what's driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn't seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness
tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report's authors.
Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It's easy enough to find groups which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you'll find folks doing what you want to do. That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common.
Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding.
