C
A well-known study in 1979 found that people who socialize with others live longer than people who keep to themselves． A new study shows that socializing online may have health benefits as well．
To test the theory， researchers from Harvard， Yale， Northeastern and the University of California at San Diego looked at the Facebook profiles of 12 million people． Then they compared the profiles with the California Department of Public Health records over a two-year period from 2011 to 2013．
The researchers found that people with more friends online were less likely to die than similar people who were not as connected．
Not all Facebook usage was connected to a longer life． Getting friend requests related to
reduce the number of deaths， but sending friend requests did not．
Similarly， posting photos and being tagged in photos was connected to living longer， but sending messages on Facebook was not． People who were tagged in many photos and the lowest mortality rates in the study．
Some diseases had a significant reduction of mortality with Facebook users． Deaths from infections， diabetes， mental illness or dementia， heart disease， stroke， other cardiovascular diseases， liver disease， and homicide all were significantly lower for Facebook users than for non-users．
Other causes of death did not show a relation to Facebook usage， including sexually transmitted diseases， several types of cancer， unintentional injuries， drug overdoses， and suicides（自杀）． Actually， the study did not examine any other social media sites to see if using them prolonged life． Also， two of the researchers worked at Facebook while the study was being conducted． The researchers were careful to say that their results showed an associative
relationship between using Facebook and living longer， not a causal one． In other words， researches did not prove that using Facebook makes someone live longer． The study simply showed a connection between a longer life and some activities users do on Facebook． The researchers say the findings may be able to help show how online social networks can help improve people's health on a global scale．
8. What is the main idea of this article？ ______
A. People with more friends are less likely to die． B. Twelve million people are interviewed in a study． C. A new study links using Facebook and living longer．

______
A. Getting friend requests on Facebook． B. Being tagged in photos on Facebook． C. Metal disease patients using Facebook． D. Facebook users who kill themselves．
10. From the last paragraph， we can conclude that ______ ．
A. There is no limitation of the study． B. Many social media sites are reviewed．
C. That using Facebook makes people live longer hasn't been proved． D. There is a casual relation between using Facebook and living longer．
