School is important for children and parents everywhere，and there are a lot who take the
education of youth very seriously.Parents want their children to succeed，and a lot of children
want to do well in school.A new study，which was done by Brigham Young University，has found
that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students，and they look forward to their chances
to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun.But field trips can be difficult for teachers to
plan，because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included.Some have argued
about the worth of field trips，and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of
school.
However，Heidi Erickson，one of the researchers in the study，stated that there is no harm
in taking students out of the classroom，even for multiple days throughout the year，as long as
they are learning and in an appropriate space.The study had 4th- and 5th-grade students from 15
schools take part in this study.They went on three cultural field trips during the school year，to an
art museum，a live theater performance，and a classical concert.Then the researchers looked at
their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the
difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores，
performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to
students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various
reasons，this new study is showing the true value of field trips ，especially when they are
considered “cultural”．

Schoolchildren across the United Kingdom will learn how to prevent loneliness.In
January,2018 ， British Prime Minister Theresa May appointed the first “minister of
loneliness”．Her administration released an 84-page plan detailing the actions it would take to
prevent loneliness.Starting in primary school ，students will have lessons in “relationships
education”．
The Brigham Young University psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad，one of the foremost
scholars on loneliness in the United States，warns that the U．S.has a significant loneliness
problem of its own and that schools desperately need to follow the U．K.’s lead and include
preventive measures into their lessons.
Indeed，according to a recent report by the health care company Cigna，nearly half of adults
in the U．S.reported feeling alone.Marriage rates and religious participation rates are also dropping
and both are risk factors for social isolation and loneliness.The prevalence(普遍) of loneliness
seems to be especially acute among young adults.One study found that Americans aged 21 to 30
reported feeling lonely twice as many days as adults aged 50 to 70.Studies suggest loneliness
results in a variety of health issues，such as decreased immunity to viral infections，poor sleep，
and cardiovascular(心血管的) issues.
The ideal school curriculum(课程) for teaching loneliness prevention would target social
isolation as well as the cognitive processes that make people feel lonely.“Recognizing that it’s
something that we need to take seriously for our health is a primary and critical step，” Holt-
Lunstad says.She advocates for a sort of “social education” that would be put into existing
health-education curriculum to teach students how to build and maintain friendships and
relationships.
8．How does Holt-Lunstad find the loneliness problem in the United States?
A．It is not serious and easy to deal with.
B．It is serious and needs measures to control.
C．It is not as serious as in the United Kingdom.
D．It is more serious than it is in the United Kingdom.
9．What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Popular. B．Average. C．Severe. D．Frequent.
10．What result may loneliness cause?A．Poor sleep. B．Higher religious participation rates.
C．Lower marriage rates. D．Increased immunity to viral infections.
11．What is the best title for the text?
A．Finding the Cause of Loneliness
B．Learning to Fight Loneliness at School
C．Loneliness—the Cause of Many Health Problems
D．Loneliness—a Serious Problem in Modern Society
