Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【B1】______, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been 【B2】______. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being 【B3】______ increases with age but overall happiness【B4】______when a person was born.
【B5】______studies that have【B6】______older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【B7】______whether their 【B8】______ was because of their age or be cause of their 【B9】______ life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science,【B10】______out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【B11】______measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
The researchers found, after controlling for variables【B12】______health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’s lifetime.【B13】______people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression,【B14】______much less happy than those who have had more【B15】______lives. This finding helps to【B16】______why past studies have found conflicting results—experi-ence【B17】______, and tough times can【B18】______an entire generation’s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【B19】______news is,【B20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【B15】
选项
A、strenuous
B、comfortable
C、unstable
D、meaningful
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨析。本句指出:经历过艰难困苦的人们,在开始的时候不及那些生活更为的人们幸福。空处与前面extreme hardship形成对照,是造成幸福度不同的原因。而“极度困难”已经达到一种极致,与其对照的不可能为“更困难”,而只能是“更舒适一些”,因此排除strenuous“艰苦的,费力的”,选B.comfortable。unstable“不稳定的,动荡的”,meaningful“有意义的,意味深长的”,均与文意不符。
