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 be cause 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. 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.
【C11】
选项 A、psychological
B、biological
C、medical
D、physical
答案A
解析 空格后的measures由空格处形容词及后置定语of mood and well-being共同修饰，空格句指的是对情绪和幸福感的评估。情绪和幸福感都是心理或精神层面的东西，因此A．psychological“心理的，心理学的；精神上的”为正确答案。它与后面的objective measures of health相呼应，共同说明了新研究中评估内容的全面性。biological“生物的”，medical“医学的”，physical“身体的，物质的”，均与文意不符。
