分析:理解这个句子的关键在于对that引导的宾语从句的剖析,主干句是AsuYvePYevealsthat...。

宾语从句中的核心句比较简单:ThetaghasbeenattachedtomanPgYoups。

剩下的就是对用逗号部分隔开的最后部分进行分析:这是一个是fYom...to...连接的两个并列名词,每个名词后面都有一个较长的定语从句。

第一个名词是authoYities,第二个名词是Yepublicans,后面跟的都是一个who引导的定语从句,who在从句中做主语。

拥抱可以使医生远离我们吗?答案也许是响亮的“是的”。

除了能帮助你感到和自己在乎的人关系亲密之外,事实证明拥抱还可以给你的身心健康带来许多好处。

不管你信不信,温暖的拥抱在冬天可以帮助你避免生病。

最近,宾夕法尼亚州卡耐基梅隆大学的研究人员对超过400名健康成年人进行了研究。

他们在让这些实验对象接触感冒病毒后,检测了“感觉到社会支持”和“受到别人拥抱”这两点对他们患上常见感冒的敏感性的影响。

感觉到更多社会支持的人更不容易患感冒,研究人员推算出,这种对健康的有益影响,大约有32%是由拥抱所产生的减压效果所带来的。

甚至在已经患上感冒的人群中,感觉得到更多社会支持和频繁得到拥抱的人的症状也更轻。

“拥抱可以保护那些处于压力之下的人免受与压力有关的、愈发增加的感冒的风险,”来自卡内基大学的心理学教授谢尔登·科恩观察道。

拥抱“能制造亲密,也能帮助产生面对困难时,有人来帮助你的感觉。

”。
