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. 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（气质） 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. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with 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 （被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect（影响） the levels of happiness.
（1）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.
（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?

B . At the age of 25.
C . At the age of 35.
D . At the age of 40.
（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .
A . control their behaviors better
B . know how to spend money wisely
C . dream about good things every day
D . have a positive attitude towards their life
（4）What would be the best title for this passage?
A . The Younger, the Happier

20. （8分） Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.
Don't buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.
（1）The passage is mainly about ________________.
A . some suggestions about cars
B . an advertisement
C . the changes to the climate
D . the ways to protect the environment
（2）From the passage, we can learn that ________________.
A . turning off the electricity when it isn't needed can do good to the environment
B . electricity won't cause great trouble to our environment
C . cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air
D . recyclable products are marked with the ENERGY STAR label
