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 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 4 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 study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns 模式 as they grow older However women at all ages reported more sadness stress and worry than men 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 66 What can be the best title of the text A Happiness Varies with Ages B Experience More Worry Less C The Older the Wiser D Being Young Being Happy 67 We can learn from

heart After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause the fluid would return At last he searched the Internet to find a psychologist 心理专家 and he found me The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends whom he had known for over twenty years This experience broke his heart Not knowing how to mend his broken heart his body created a repair by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings Much of our work was done to make him recognize the feelings of being loved and forgiving 原谅 his friends Months later his heart was mended and the fluid disappeared He left my office after the final meeting with a smile on his face The key is to create a healthy body you must be healthy not only in body but
