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. It found that people usually 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 results came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
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. Stress levels dropped suddenly after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their seventies. But t he 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 changes as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, losing jobs. But they found influences like these did not affect* the levels of happiness related to* age.
So why would happiness increase with age? One reason is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better controlled of thei r emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
29. We can probably read this passage in a ______.
A. story book B. guide book C. sports newspaper D. science magazine

The volunteers who brought the nine-year-old to the orphanage* knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They had left her long ago.
At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else -- to be independent*. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary.
And then, in 1975, while she was still working as a common secretary, something very unusual happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition -- and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now Mary Cheung was very popular in Hong Kong.
Mary entered the competition because she was full of ambitions* and because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then to a business manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough,” she said. Fortunately, she had a boy-friend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own company in 1995. But she was still working hard to develop herself. She then studied for a Fine Arts degree at the University of Hong Kong. Her ambition was to teach arts in Hong Kong. Since 1987, she has spent a lot of her time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places, including China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV and for charity, to write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
33. Mary ______ when the volunteers found her.
A. was known well B. lived with her parents
C. had been homeless for many years D. was at school like all the children

A. Mary has travelled a lot
B. Mary is very tired because she has run a long way

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line t o pay for gas, I said hello to an old couple* in front of me.
It was dark when I left the gas station hurriedly, but I had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and didn’t know what I should do. A car slowed down and stopped behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at th e gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. A few days later, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby city in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery* was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right near my car. I went over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. He said that no one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”, and it meant a lot.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.
