Here are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now? Are people happier as they get older? A study 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 finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the United States. 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 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 had 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? 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. The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as they got older. 【1】Which age group of adults feel most stressful according to the study? A.The adults in their twenties. B.The adults in their fifties. C.The adults in their seventies. D.The adults in their eighties. 【2】What can we conclude from the passage? A.People in their seventies enjoy the highest level of happiness. B.Stress levels will drop sharply when people are becoming older. C.Young adults have low level of stress because they are healthier. D.Women of all ages are more likely to be in negative emotion than men. 【3】Which of the following may be the possible reason why elder people are happier? A.Because elder people have enough money to spend. B.Because elder people are more thankful with their life. C.Because elder people don't have to work hard every day. D.Because elder spend more time considering bad experiences. 【4】Which is TRUE according to the finding of the study? A.There is connection of sleep and happiness. B.Aging is connected with increased sleep problems. C.The older people are becoming, the worse sleep quality they have. D.Sleep quality will drop during middle age but then will improve as they get older. |

If you don't use it, you lose it. At least, that's how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something which does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. Muscles, for example, will waste away without use. In order to resist this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp. Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline. In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia(痴呆)，which I'm sure you will agree, no one wants. However, all is not lost because these days it's relatively easy to train your brain. Smart phones and apps have put programmes into our hands that can test, maintain and even improve our memories, mathematical skills and a lot of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains nice and sharp, right? Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people thought it was important to play online games, such as puzzles and mind games, which are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits was “weak to non-existent”. There are other ways to promote the old grey matter. It recommends seeking out new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging，while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering. There's more good news, too, James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK has said that brain decline is not inevitable (不可避免的）. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it's time to try that hobby you've always wanted to do. And as for me? I'm off to learn the piano. 【1】From which is the text probably taken? A.A biology textbook. B.A healthy magazine. C.A travel brochure. D.A research paper. 【2】Which has the closest meaning of the underlined words “socially engaging”？ A.Making more shopping. B.Avoid brain decline. C.Doing exercises alone. D.Going out with friends. 【3】Which of the following can better keep your brain healthy according to the author? A.Trying something new. B.Using smart phone regularly. C.Playing games online. D.Doing what you are good at. 【4】What does the passage mainly tell us? A.Advantages of trying something new. B.Disadvantages of using smart phones. C.Ways to keep our brain as sharp as possible. D.How to spend time meaningfully at an old age. |

China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy several years ago to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves(产假）for a total of seven to eight months. In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com, career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career. Another survey conducted by Chongging-based human resources website job.cg.qq.com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff. Feng Lijuan, a senior expert on human resources at 51 job. com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women”. Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.” Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women: “Different from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also choose employers,” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees’ choice of. having a second child.” 【1】In Paragraph 1, the end of one-child policy has great effect on ________. A.women B.women and families C.bosses D.women and employers 【2】According to the second survey, most people think having a second child would ________. A.have no effect on career women B.have a positive effect on women's career C.have a negative effect on women's career D.have both positive and negative effects on career women 【3】Which of the following sentences agrees with Feng Lijuan? A.There isn't prejudice against career women. B.The effect is only limited to maternity leave. C.There is much more prejudice against career women. D.Women can't fully come back to work for a long period. 【4】Which is the best title for the passage? A.Responsibilities of Career Women B.Effects of Two-child Policy on Women C.Disadvantages of Raising Two Children D.Different Attitudes of Employers to Women |

How to Solve Worry Problems The Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel , once said, "Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young."【1】Then how can we find a quick, surefire（万全的）recipe for handling worry situations? Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries. Get the facts Why is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we can't possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently.【2】This is the chief cause of worry. Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge. Analyze the facts However, getting all the facts in the world won't do any good until we figure out when these facts mean and interpret them.【3】In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision. Therefore , when we are worried, sit down and write down two questions—and the answers to these questions, "What am I worrying about?” and "What can I do about it?" Arrive at a decision Worry is killing. So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps we could take and then writing down the probable results of each step and calmly coming to a decision.【4】It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad. 【5】 Once we have made a decision, go into action. Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate and retrace（折返）our steps. Don't lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don't look back our shoulders. A.Write down our worries. B.There comes a time when we must decide. C.Act on that decision D.Without the facts, we will be left in confusion. E.And so do housewives, horse doctors and bricklayers. F.It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down. G.Experience has proved the great value of arriving at a fixed decision. |
