This advertisement is intended for_Aparents Bcoaches Cstaff DcampersCOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older pepole and for people worried about getting older. Researches found that people bee 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 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in xx. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The searches asked questions about emotions(情感) like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental 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 twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grew older. Hower, 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 feelings. 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.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.8. Suppose John is 90 years old and Mike is 24, which of the following is True about them according to the research_?AJohn is happier and more energetic than Mike.BMike is happier but weaker than John.CJohn is more sad and worried than Mike.DMike is more worried and depressed than John.9.
