24、   Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they said, by the age of 85 , people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340 ,000 adults in the US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.

The researchers asked questions about emotions (情绪) like happiness, sadness and worry.

They also asked about mental (精神) or emotional stress.

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 22 and 25.

The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the adults who are in their seventies and eighties.

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers said they didn't know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

【1】What kind of people has the highest stress levels ?

A．Adults between the ages of 22 and 25.

B．Those in their seventies and eighties.

C．People who reached their fifties.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true ?

A．Old people can control their moods better.

B．Men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older.

C．Women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

D．Researchers know exactly why happiness increases as people get older.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．The Older, the Happier

B．Why Elder People Feel Happier than Young People

C．Different Emotions between Men and Women

D．What Makes the Elder Happy

25、   Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination（组合体）of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns（角）and a long moustache（胡子）. With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.

We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants（传人）of the dragon”. In Chinese, “excellent” people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons. For example, “hoping one’s child will become a dragon” means hoping he or she will be successful.

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick—tempered. There are some famous “dragons” who have done excellent things, for example, Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.

There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head—Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.

The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragon”, it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “dragons”.
