问题                 Does happiness favor those of a particular age, sex, or income level?
    Social scientists have exploded some myths about who’s happy and who’s not by identifying predictors of happiness and life satisfaction. Many people believe there are unhappy times of life — typically the stress filled teen years, the "mid-life crisis" years, or the declining years’ of old age. But interviews with people of all ages reveal【C1】______no time of life is notably happier or unhappier. Emotions do【C2】______with age: Satisfaction with social relations and health becomes more important in later life. And teens,【C3】______adults, typically rebound from either gloom【C4】______joy within an hour’s time.
    Does happiness have a favorite sex? Are men happier because of their greater incomes and social power? Are women happier because of their supposedly greater capacity for intimacy and social connection? Like age,【C5】______gives no clue to subjective well-being. There are gender gaps in misery: When troubled, men more often become alcoholic,【C6】______women more often think deeply and get depressed. Yet men and women are equally likely to declare themselves "very happy" and "【C7】______" with life. This conclusion is grounded in scores of studies around the world.
    Living standards have soared during the twentieth century, and economists expect them to continue【C8】______in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans can look【C9】______to increasing happiness? Not necessarily. Steady improvements in the economy are not【C10】______by a steady increase in people’s assessments of their own happiness. [br] 【C8】
