问题    Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【C1】______, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been【C2】______Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being【C3】______increases with age—but overall happiness【C4】______when a person was born.
   【C5】______studies that have【C6】______older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【C7】______whether their【C8】______was because of their age or because of their【C9】______life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science ,【C10】______out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【C11】______measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
   The researchers found, after controlling for variables【C12】______health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’s lifetime.【C13】______people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression,【C14】______much less happy than those who have had more【C15】______lives.

The【C19】______news is,【C20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【C13】
选项 A、Thus
B、Even
C、Then
D、But
答案D
解析 本题考查逻辑关系。上文指出，研究人员发现幸福感在每个人的一生中是逐渐增加的；空格所在句转而指出经历过“大萧条”这类极度困难的人们不及另一些人们幸福，从而引出下文“经历影响幸福感”的论述。两部分在语义上存在隐性转折关系。因此，D选项为正确选项。Thus指“因此，因而”，表因果；Even意为“甚至”时，表递进，意为“即使”时，表让步；Then意为“然后”，表时间承接。
