Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in two thousand eight. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
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 highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five.
The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
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.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. 66. What is the best title of the passage? A. The older a person is, the happier he grows. B. The more lighthearted a person is, the happier he is. C. The older a person is, the more clever he grows. D. The older a person is, the more stressed he feels. 67. We can learn from the research that _________.
A. only when people get older, will they feel happier B. older people usually have no worries in their life C. older people are more likely to be thankful in life
D. stress levels among the youngest are the highest of all
68. According to the researchers, what is probably the reason why people grow happier when they get older? A. When people get older, they can’t remember bad experiences. B. When people get older, they have no young children to care about. C. When people get older, they don’t care about their feelings. D. When people get older, they learn to adjust their feelings. 69. What would the writer probably deal with in next paragraph? A. Advice to the young people on how to keep happy. B. Why women at all ages are more sad, stressed and worried. C. Advice to the old people on how to live longer. D. Why people will grow happier with their ages.
70. What do you think the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is? A. A Gallup organization. B. A university in New York. C. A popular science magazine. D. A research institution
D If you're like a lot of married guys, you don't need to be reminded about men being from Mars or women from Venus. Chances are that you're all too familiar with the feeling that you and your wife are from different worlds. When married people start noticing their fundamental differences, it can lead to a breakdown in communication. The way to have a successful marriage is through communication, common ground and understanding. Here are some pointers to guide you in the right direction.
Rather than ending up in an endless back and forth, forget about the issue for a minute. Instead, think about how you feel she's acting toward you and ask her if that's how she feels about you. If you think she's being unfair, ask her if she thinks you're being unfair. Switching the focus to that shared feeling can help your wife see things from your point of view.
It's important to accept the fact that there's a two-way street between you and your wife. If you think she doesn't make enough of an effort to see things from your point of view, you have to ask yourself if you're making an effort to see it her way.
Realize nobody can wave a magic wand to make you and your wife completely understand each other all the time. Many couples have an extremely close friendship and do almost everything together before they're married. Once you've tied the knot, you may begin to notice that you're not as alike as you once thought.
It seems obvious, but some guys get fooled into thinking their wife will be as excited about all of their interests and hobbies as they are. Don't be surprised when you find out that she's not just like \Sooner or later you'll realize that she might be going along with some of your interests just to make you happy. Rather than feel offended if you find out she's not as into your favorite hobby as you thought, appreciate the effort she put into making you happy. Swallow your pride and try to take part in some of her hobbies, too, even if you might be a little put off at first. While you're not going to be trying on makeup with her, you could try baking a recipe together.
If either of you is always giving everything and getting nothing in return, there's going to be bitterness. The best marriages are built on compromise. You knew you were going to have to give and take for your marriage to work; now it's time to make it happen. 71. What is the best title of the text?
A. How to manage your marriage. B. How to make a good husband C. How to make a good wife. D. How to get her to speak your language. 72. The best subtitle of the 6th paragraph is ________.
A. Swallow your pride (at least sometimes) B. Find out her hobbies C. Don’t get offended D. Try to make up 73. Which of the following is not good for keeping a successful marriage?
A. Focus on the feeling to get past the disagreement.
B. Don't play the blame game.
C. She won't always understand you (but that's OK). D. Try to understand each other all the way.
74. According to the last paragraph, it’s important for the husband and wife to__________.
A. forgive and forget B. give and take C. live and let live D. get everything and return nothing 75. The underlined phrase in the 6th paragraph probably mean________.
A. delay sth B. arrange sth C. dislike sth D. worsen sth

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求。
﹝1﹞The number of children younger than 12 entering the hospital for eating disorders increased 119 percent between 1999 and 2006, according to a new report suggesting eating disorders for this age group are on the rise. ﹝2﹞The new report summarizes data from 200 recent research studies that examined eating disorders. It is published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and suggests that pediatricians screen for eating disorders as part of annual checkups or during pre-participation sports exams.
﹝3﹞Since eating disorders will impact a child’s entire health, the report recommends that pediatricians should monitor patients for medical or nutritional problems, and ensure patients receive appropriate treatment such as medical care, mental-health treatment and nutritional intervention. ﹝4﹞\are encouraged to advocate for legislation and policies that ensure appropriate services for _________________, including medical care, nutritional intervention, mental-health treatment and care co-ordination,\
﹝5﹞There is also an increasing recognition of eating disorders in males, which now represent up to 10 percent of all cases of eating disorders, as well as in children of younger ages.
﹝6﹞While gender, body type, and weight can be indicators of an eating disorder, it is becoming more common for both boys and overweight children to succumb to an eating disorder. Therefore, when evaluating patients, the report urges that pediatricians should not only track weight and height, but body mass index (BMI), too. In girls, the report urges doctors to track menstrual cycles, and to be specific about questioning diet, eating patterns, and body image.
﹝7﹞People with eating disorders often use their control over food in an attempt to compensate for overwhelming feelings and emotions. Eating disorders are also often tied into a person's own body image and have been previously linked to higher rates of self-harm.
﹝8﹞Eating disorders are treated most commonly through psychotherapy, and a full recovery is possible for most people who experience an eating disorder.
76. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words) 77. Fill in the blanks with proper words in paragraph 4.

Text 9（12-14 题）
Well, we are now looking at ways of making shopping less tiring. You know, a day at the shops wears people out. And we considered a number of ideas. Carrying shopping around is very tiring, and we looked at ways to avoid that. We thought of hiring out small electric-driven cars to shoppers, but we came up against problems of space. There just isn’t enough room. We also thought about those moving walk ways, like the ones you see at the airports. We decided it against them though, because they require a major redesign of the whole center. What we have actually come up with is a new technology where you buy what you want and then just leave it on the shelf. That way, you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day. When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything you’ve bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.

W: Oh, it looks more like a reference book than a cook book. A lot of reading , and not many pictures. M: It’s interesting, though, the way it’s organized fish by fish. W: That’s true. How much is it? M: Twelve pounds.
W: And one I picked up first?
M: Something Fishy? Oh, here it is. That’s seventeen pounds.
W: Hmm… Well, this one has a nice combination of pictures and instructions. Anyway, we can’t spend all day here. I’m going to take this.

W: Hello, and welcome to our program of successful business women. Today, we are looking at the story of
Maria Silvers, the founder of a chain of coffee bars. She comes from Singapore, but later moved to London with her family. Her father, who was a factory manager, filled her with a belief in hard work. Maria studied political science at university. After leaving university, she became a teacher. When her father died, she went to New York for a break. Every morning, she’d go to a coffee bar. When she got back to London, she realized that there was nothing like those coffee bars. So she decided to give up her job and do something about it. She opened the first coffee bar in 1995, and her success was quick. She opened ten more the following year. Now she is proud of her success and plans to open eighty more besides the eighty-five she already has. And Maria is only 33 years old.
