Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.

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 22 and 25.①______

Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70’s. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70’s and 80’s.  The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. ②______

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

③______One theory 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.

④______In another study, people in their 80’s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. ⑤______But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.

A. So why will happiness increase with age?

B. Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.

C. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.

D. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50’s.

E. Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.

F. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.

G. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

【回答】

1. D   2. G   3. A   4. E   5. F 解析：1.D. 推理判斷題.設空處位於第二段最後一句,設空前一句 His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. 說了研究團隊關於壓力水平的發現.所以 36 空仍為壓力水平的研究的成果.從下列七個選項中,只有 D 選項說的是壓力水平,而且是結論.故*為 D.

2.G. 推理判斷題.設空處位於第三段最後一句,此句前一句The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.說的是隨著年齡變老,男人和女人有相似的情緒的模式.所以後一句仍然是說基於男女對比的研究發現.故為 G.

3.A. 推理判斷題.設空處位於第五段第一句,而且為總領句.根據後面One theory is that, as people get older, they become more than thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. 的總結,說的是人老了之後變得對他們所擁有的事務更加感激,而且能更好地控制情緒等.所以,第一句為什麼幸福感會隨著年齡增長.正確*為 A.

4.E. 推理判斷題.設空處位於第六段第一句,根據後面的句子In another study, people in their 80's reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.得知,到了人們 80 歲的時候,有最少的睡眠質問題,是隨著變老的又一個好處.故*為 E.

5.F. 推理判斷題.設空處位於倒數第二句話.前一句 The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.是說,隨著年齡額增加,睡眠問題應該增加.而空後有轉折詞"but"為轉折,得知其前一句順承關係.說的是睡眠問題的增加,故為 F.
