22、Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If you answer is “happier”, then you are right. Study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

The findings came from a Gallup Survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped greatly after people arrived at their fifties.

Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.

The study also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns (情感模式) as they grow older. However, women at all ages were reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

So why would happiness increase (增长) with age? One theory (推测) is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

【1】How many adults are there in the study?

A．300.

B．40, 000.

C．340, 000.

D．34,000.

【2】What does the underlined word “stress” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?

A．压力

B．健康

C．挑战

D．成功

【3】What can you learn from the findings of the study?

A．People become happier and feel less worried before age 50.

B．People are happier with their life at 18 than they are at 85.

C．Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the least stress.

D．The kids and those in their early seventies feel the happiest.

【4】Why does happiness increase with age?

A．Because old people have no emotions.

B．Because when people get older, they seldom have bad experiences.

C．Because when people get older, they own more than before.

D．Because old people are more thankful for what they have.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

23、   Once, there lived a man in a small village. He had a statue(雕像) made by a famous master(大师). But the statue was put at his door, facing downwards, because he didn't like it at all.

The owner laughed and said, "Who can like this dull and dirty stone?"

The man from the city said, "I will give you five dollars for it."

The owner was surprised and agreed. So the statue was moved to the city.

A few months later, the man from the small village visited the city. When he walked around the street, he saw many people standing in front of a shop and a man was shouting in a loud voice, "Come in and enjoy the most wonderful statue in the world.
