【答案】
【1】not to
【2】keepfrom
【3】impolite talk back to
【4】manage
【5】to make their own decisions
【解析】
【1】句中使用了句型encourage sb. to do sth.鼓励某人去做某事,其否定形式是在to前加not,故根据句意应填not to。
【2】keep from是一个固定短语,阻止,抑制,远离。空前的to是动词不定式的符号,因此这里填动词原形。
【3】talk back to sb.跟某人顶嘴,是一个固定短语;这句话中使用的句型是It is +形容词+to do sth.做某事是…的,因第二个空动词用原形;impolite 不礼貌的,是一个形容词。
【4】manage设法对付,是一个动词,空前的can是情态动词,后面跟动词原形,故这里直接填原形manage。
【5】give sb. chances to do sth.给某人机会去做某事;make one’s own decisions自己做决定。根据句意可知,这里指的是teenagers,故代词用their,他们的。
【题目】Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is "happier", then you are right, based on a study published five 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 are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand 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 the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
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.
