Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study in 2008.(23)It 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.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.(24)His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found 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 did. 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.
So why would happiness increase with age?(25)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.
23. When does the worry begin to drop in a people’s life?
24. What do the findings tell about people between the ages of 22 and 25?
25. What is the possible cause of the fact that happiness increases with age?
选项
A、The grow-up of children.
B、The stable source of income.
C、Better control of the emotions.
D、More and more happy experience.
答案
C
解析
短文最后提到了幸福感随着年龄而增长的原因,有理论认为随着年龄的增长,人们更知道为自己所拥有的东西而感恩,能够“更好地控制情绪”,并且不再去想那些不好的经历,故答案为C)。
