【解析】 1 ．考查动词短语。句意：正如谚语所说， “ 有志者，事竟成。 ” 我们的努力会最终得到回报的。短语 pay off 意为 “ 得到回报 ” ，符合语境。且助动词 will 后应为动词原形。故填 pay off 。
2 ．考查介词短语。句意：做瑜伽可以让你保持良好的身材，对于那些想提高灵活性和力量的人来说是完美的。短语 in good shape 意为 “ 好体型，好身材 ” ，符合语境，在句子中作宾语补足语。故填 in good shape 。
3 ．考查形容词短语。句意：当我年轻的时候，我的父母经常教我成为一个对自己的行为负责的人。短语 be responsible for 意为 “ 对 …… 负责 ” 符合语境。且 who 引导定语从句，在句子中作主语，指代先行词 a person ，所以 be 动词为第三人称单数。故填 is responsible for 。
4 ．考查动词短语。句意：为了庆祝春节，每年都在门窗上挂春联。短语 attach…to… 意为 “ 把 …… 粘贴到 ……” 符合语境，在句子中作谓语。且句子主语为复数与 attach 间为被动关系，结合语境可知，句子使用一般现在时态的被动语态。故填 are attached to 。
5 ．考查介词短语。句意：他宁愿呆在家里，也不愿在这样的雨天出门。短语 rather than 意为 “ 而不是 ” 符合语境。故填 rather than 。

Feeling extreme loneliness can increase an older person’s risk of premature (过早的)death by 14 percent, according to research by John Cacioppo, professor of psychology at the University of Chicago.
Cacioppo and his colleagues’ work shows that the impact of loneliness on premature death is nearly as strong as the impact of disadvantaged socioeconomic status, which they found increases the chances of dying early by 19 percent. A 2010 meta﹣analysis showed that loneliness has twice as much impact on early death as obesity does, he said.
The researchers looked at dramatic differences in the rate of decline in physical and mental health as people aged. Cacioppo and his colleagues have examined the role of satisfying relationships on older people to develop their resilience ([rɪˈzɪliəns] 快速恢复的能力；适应力), the ability to feel better quickly after something unpleasant, and grow from stresses in life.
The consequences for health are dramatic, as feeling isolated or separated from others can disturb sleep, elevate blood pressure, increase morning rises in the stress hormone cortisol ([‘kɔ:tɪsɒl] 皮质醇), change the gene expression in immune cells, increase depression and lower overall subjective well﹣being, Cacioppo pointed out in a talk, “ Rewarding Social Connections Promote Successful Aging.”
Cacioppo, one of the nation’s leading experts on loneliness, said older people can avoid the consequences of loneliness by staying in touch with former co﹣workers, taking part in family traditions, and sharing good times with family and friends ﹣ all of which give older adults a chance to connect with others about whom they care and who care about them.
”Retiring to Florida to live in a warmer climate among strangers isn’t necessarily a good idea if it means you are disconnected from the people who mean much to you,” said Cacioppo. Population changes make understanding the role of loneliness and health all the more important,he explained. “People have to think about how to protect themselves from depression, low subjective well﹣being and early death. “
Although some people are happy to be alone, most people develop from social situations in which they provide mutual support and establish a strong bond. Evolution encourages people to work together to survive and accordingly most people enjoy companionship compared to be alone.
It is not solitude (独处)or physical isolation itself, but rather the subjective sense of isolation that Cacioppo’s work shows to be so destructive. Older people living alone are not necessarily lonely if they remain actively engaged in social life and enjoy the company of those around them. Some aspects of aging, such as blindness and loss of hearing, however, place people at special risk of becoming isolated and lonely, he said.
