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 educa tion, that well-being increases over everyone’ s lifetime.【C13】______people who have lived through extreme hard ship, such as the Great Depression, 【C14】______much less happy than those who have had more【C15】______lives. This finding helps to【C16】______why past studies have found conflicting results—experience【C17】______, and tough times can【C18】______an entire generation’s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【C19】______news is, 【C20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【C8】
选项
A、unwillingness
B、insecurity
C、discontent
D、incompetence
答案
C
解析
本题考查上下文语义及名词辨析。上一句说明了研究发现有时老年人不如中年人和年轻人那样幸福,空格所在句紧接着说难以分辨这种不幸福的原因是哪一个。根据语义,空格处的词与上文的not as happy相呼应。只有C项discontent“不满,不愉快”符合文意,其他项在文中找不到依据。B项insecurity表示“不安全,不牢靠”;C项discontent意为“不满,不愉快”;D项incompetence意为“无资格,不胜任,无能力”。
