任务型阅读 Keeping Fish Helps Prevent Loneliness What typically comes to mind, when you think of a lonely person? The most likely answer is an older person, who is socially isolated(孤立的), leads a very quiet life and doesn't get out much.  Loneliness can affect people of all ages from all walks of life. Researchers carried out a study looking at the health benefits of viewing fish in tanks. They found that people, young or old, who spend time watching fish in tanks, could see improvements in their physical and mental well-being. Keeping fish means you will have a well- organized routine.You need to turn the light on, feed the fish, and carry out daily checks. There will also be weekly and monthly chores（琐事）which will need to be done, such as checking the equipment. This helps to get people out of the house. It'll involve talking with other people who have similar interests. Forming relationships and friendships with these people will be much easier and this would counter isolation and likely decrease loneliness. Many people, in spite of being lonely, are not allowed to have a "traditional" pet in their house or apartment. Either due to allergies （过敏）or landlord agreements, people are restricted to have pets in their house or apartment.This is quite a good way to help them to have fun. What's more important, they will say goodbye to loneliness forever. A. However, this isn't always the case. B. Doing all this requires visits to a pet store. C. That is to say, you'll have a lot of work to do. D. These are some of the largest freshwater fish kept as pets. E. Even with these restrictions, many people are allowed to keep fish. F. Make sure that the tank is big enough for the fish you are going to buy. G. In fact, it not only helped to reduce their heart rate, but also improved their feelings. 答案：【1】A【2】G【3】C【4】B【5】E
