In 1858, a British scientist named William Farr set out to study the "marital condition" of the people of France. He divided the adults into three categories: the "married", consisting of husbands and wives; the "unmarried", defined as the bachelors and spinsters who had never married; and finally the "widowed", those who had experienced the death of a spouse. (29)Using birth, death and marriage records, Farr analyzed the death rates of the three groups at various ages. The work, a groundbreaking study that helped establish the field of medical statistics, showed that much more unmarried people died from disease than the married. And the widowed, Farr found, lived worst of all.
Farr was among the first scholars suggesting that there is a health advantage to marriage. Married people, the data seemed to show, lived longer, healthier lives. "Marriage is a healthy estate," Farr concluded. "The single individual is more likely to be wrecked on his voyage than the lives joined together in marriage."
(30) While Farr’s own study is no longer relevant to the social realities of today’s world because his three categories don’t include couples living together, gay couples and the divorced, for instance, his finding about the health benefits of marriage seems to have stood the test of time. (31)Although better health among the married some times simply reflects the fact that healthy people are more likely to get married in the first place, scientists have continued to prove the "marriage advantage": the fact that married people, on average, appear to be healthier and live longer than unmarried people.
选项
A、The birth rates.
B、The death rates.
C、The divorce rates.
D、The widow rates.
答案
B
解析
细节辨认题。文中提到,通过出生、死亡以及婚姻记录,Fart分析了不同年龄三种人的死亡率。因此“死亡率”才是Farr研究的对象,而“出生、死亡以及婚姻记录”只是研究借助的材料与工具,故选B)。
