Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say 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 United States. 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 like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental 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 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not 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 feelings. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
35．According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier ________.
A．when they are between the ages of 18 and 85
B．when they come to their old age
C．when they are in their twenties
D．when they are 18 years old
36．According to Arthur Stone, old people may ________.
A．have a positive attitude towards their life
B．know how to spend money wisely
C．dream about good things every day
D．control their behaviors better
37．Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?
A．Those who are worried about getting old.
B．Those who are single and unemployed.
C．Those who feel unhappy all the time.
D．Those who suffer from mental stress.
38．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Getting Older Means Getting Happier
B．The Young Are Happier Than the Old
C．Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life
D．The Younger, the Happier

In the history of Hawaii, surfing is a serious thing. Ancient leaders used the sport as a training exercise to keep themselves strong. They also used surfing competitions
instead of wars to solve conflicts (冲突) between people. For a long time, this tradition of surfing was known mainly to the people of Hawaii. Then Duke Kahanamoku came along and changed the world.
When he was 21 years old, Duke broke two world swimming records. Not surprisingly, Duke easily made the Olympic swimming team in 1912. During his Olympic career (生涯), Duke won three gold medals and two silver medals in swimming.
When Duke finished winning medals at the Olympics, he toured the world. He also brought along his surfboard. Duke had been surfing ever since he was a little boy. In 1917, he rode a single wave for more than a mile! Duke amazed people by riding his 16footlong board. He is considered the father of modern surfing.
Since Duke was handsome and strong, people loved to watch him. His next career move was clear. Duke headed for Hollywood. From 1925 to 1995, he made more than 30 movies.
One day in 1925, Duke and a few other surfers were hanging out on the beach when a boat turned over not far from them. The surfers hit the waves with their big boards and saved 12 of the
passengers. Duke alone saved eight of them! After that, lifeguards (救生员) at beaches started using surfboards to save swimmers. Helping others was a big theme in Duke's life.
In 1932, Duke became sheriff (治安官) of Honolulu, Hawaii, holding the position for almost 30 years. As sheriff, in fact, his job was to greet visitors who came to the city. From the Olympics to Hollywood, Duke Kahanamoku had put Hawaii on the map when it was still a little known island.
When he was 75 years old, Duke's name was added to both the Swimming Hall of Fame and the Surfing Hall of Fame. He died in 1968 at the age of 78.

Kids at the Interlake School Division were the first Canadian students to take part in a program to send experiments to the International Space Station (ISS)．
Jordan Schott and three other sixth grade students came up with the idea to test royal jelly (蜂王浆) in space. Their experiment came very close to be tested on the space station.“We were seeing if we could send it up to space, and if it would lose its nutritional value (营养价值) faster or slower，” said Schott. Schott is one of the 18 students in the Space Knights Club at Woodlands Elementary School, part of the Interlake School Division. Over 450 students from the Division took part in the program.
“I thought we were just students and we couldn't do much in the way of that. It's a way to communicate with people up there，” said Braeden Clark, a seventh garde student who is also in the club.
The astronauts(宇航员) shared what they learned with their school with a full day of activities all about science and space.
Teacher Maria Nickel is the organizer of the club. She said the day was great for students to learn what they could do.“Space is one of those great things that get kids excited, but it also gives them the chance to do so much. They can be an astronaut; they can be an engineer，” she
said.
The day was held in honour of Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut now in the International Space Station.“It gives the kids someone more to look up to. Here's a real hero to look up to who's doing it all, doing it through education，” said Nickel.
Jordan Schott thinks it's really cool.“To me it seems so cool how people can go up to space, and science is something I've always liked，” she said. Schott says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Hadfield and be an astronaut when she gets older.
One of the winning experiments in the competition was produced by students from Argyle, Manitoba. It will travel to the space station in the fall of 2013.
