[1]Are people less or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study published two years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people were happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

[2]The findings came from a survey of more than 340 adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five! 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 twenty-two and twenty-five. But stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

[3]Happiness was highest among the youngest adults (18-year-olds) and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions（负面情绪）were those in their seventies and eighties.

[4]The survey also found that           have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

[5]So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

[6]Happiness is not the only thing that improves with age. In a study published this year, people in their eighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. They felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.

82. According to Paragraphs 2＆3, what’s the biggest difference between l8-year-olds and 23-year-olds?

In a research, it was found that only four out of every five employees were happy at work. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the salary or the love for the work that made people happy. In stead friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager have been found to be the primary causes of happiness at work. So how do you keep your spirits up and develop a sense of joy on the job? Here is some advice.
Happiness is a state of mind, and though not many people realize it, staying happy at work is totally based on a positive attitude towards your job. Concentrating(集中注意力) on the bright side of the work rather than keeping talking about what makes you unhappy is the basic key to happiness.
Challenge yourself and take charge of your own growth professionally. Boredom is one of the primary reasons that cause people to change jobs. To avoid feeling bored, you can find new challenges and it’s a great feeling to take control over what you do and see a task through.
Complete our tasks, however disagreeable or tough they might be. This gives you an individual(单个的，特别的) sense of achievement and encourages you to work towards your goals in future. Also keep learning and gaining new insights while at work.
Sitting and staring at your screen all day long isn’t going to help you. Instead take breaks and go outside for some time. They don’t necessarily have to be long breaks but staying out for a few minutes to feel the gentle wind can keep you happy. Eat your lunch out side or walk for a few minutes during that hour, which helps you stay happy at work.
