The professor (教授) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test. Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it. Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, How many of you have completed all five questions? No hand was raised. How many of you have answered four? Still no hands. Three? Two? The students moved restlessly in their seats. One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one. But the class kept silent. The professor said, That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you dont know.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they said, by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions(情绪)like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental(精神)or emotional stress.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.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the adults who are in their seventies and eighties.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Researchers said they didnt 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.（1）What kind of people has the highest stress levels? A . Adults between the ages of 22 and 25.B . Those in their seventies and eighties.C .

Since 2018, more than 80 percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly and reached to 1.7 million.In recent years, the Palace Museum has drawn more and more peoples attention by its fresh new events. From new media tools to the creative cultural products, from grand activities to attractive TV shows, the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success. To keep pace with the times, the old palace is updating (更新) in many fashionable ways.Since 2014, to deliver the image of A Warm Forbidden City to the public, new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot. Its Weibo keeps showing the palaces charm (魅力) by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats. From the coldness of history to the style of common touch, the image undoubtedly won more favors.Museum-themed products, such as tapes, fans, notebooks and lipsticks, are designed in fashionable ways. They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks. The sales approached (接近) CNY 1.5 billion in 2017. These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture, said a user on Weibo. The increased income, without raising the ticket price, also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000 educational activities in 2018.The light festival is another idea. It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival. The light show, which provided audience with full sensory (感官的) experiences, has wowed the crowd. Therefore, people have a new choice to celebrate the Lantern Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.For those who have been to the museum before, a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起) their interests in visiting it again. As an audience said, Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City. In another TV show, The Nations Greatest Treasures, nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after. This has further raised peoples interests in more museums. These TV shows have brought an instant culture heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive. Through these ways, the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history, but also call on peoples love for traditional culture. After all, it is the memory and symbol of a countys history and the precious wealth of all mankind.（1）The Palace Museum has achieved success in recent years, because it has _.
