13、Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say 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 United States. 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 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 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns 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 feelings. They so 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.
1．According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier .
A．when they are between the ages of 18 and 85 B．when they come to their old age
C．when they are in their twenties D．when they are 18 years old
2．You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of .
A．20 B．25 C．35 D．40
3．According to Arthur Stone, old people may .
A．have a positive attitude towards their life B．know how to spend money wisely
C．dream about good things every day D．control their behaviors better
4．Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?
A．Those who are worried about getting old B．Those who are single and unemployed
C．Those who feel unhappy all the time D．Those who suffer from mental stress
5．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Getting Older Means Getting Happier B．The Young Are Happier Than the Old

15、I’ll never forget that summer day in 1965 when my mother suddenly died of an unexplained illness at the age of 36. Later that afternoon, a police officer stopped by to ask my father if the hospital could use Mother’s corneas(角膜). I was shocked. “The doc tors want todissect Mum and give her away to other people!” I thought as I ran into the house in tears.“How can you let them do that to her?” I screamed at my father. “My mum came into this world in one piece and that is how she should go out.”
“Linda,” Father said quietly, putting his arm around me, “the greatest gift you can give is a part of yourself. Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person’s life after we die, our death will have meaning.” He went on to exp lain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).
The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.
Years passed. I married and had a family of my own. In 1980, my father became seriously ill and moved in with us. He cheerfully told me that when he died, he wanted me to donate his eyes. “Sight is one of the greatest gifts a person can give,” he said.
I told Wendy what her grandpa had said, and with tears in her eyes, she went into her grandpa’s room and gave him a big hug. She was only fourteen years old------the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing. What a difference! My father died on April 11,1986, and we donated his eyes as he had wanted.

17、To understand why the Earth is warming up, first of all, we need to understand why it is warm. Our planet is covered with atmosphere（大气）．Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and reaches the Earth. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface. When the heat rises into the air, it is stopped by some special gases in the atmosphere like CO2, the heat returns to the Earth and keeps it warm.
Power stations and cars release so many green-house gases every day. So we can help stop global warming by using less electric things such as turning off lights when we leave a room, asking our parents to turn down the heating in our house to save energy. We can also stop global warming by finding other ways of transportation. For example, ride a bicycle or walk instead of going by car. Another way to help stop global warming is to plant and care for trees. Because trees take in C02 , they are our best friends when fighting against global warming.
The problem of global warming cannot be solved in a day. It may take a long time to find clean energy, such as wind energy. It may take a long time to plant the trees again which were cut down. But every little thing each person can do to save energy and our forests will help. Think about our planet. Think about ways we can help make the Earth a safe and comfortable place for the future.
1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 1?
A．The Earth. B．The atmosphere. C．The heat. D．The sunlight.
2．According to the passage,______ can help to fight against global warming.
A．power stations and cars B．trees
C．electric things D．special gases like C02
3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The problem of global warming will be solved soon.
B．We can never save energy and our forests.
C．Only the sunlight makes the Earth warming up.
D．To find clean energy will help solve the problem of global warming.
4．What does release mean?
A．relax B．reflex C．give off D．give away
