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 so 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 well-being related to age.
小題1: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 85B．when they come to their old age
C．when they are in their twentiesD．when they are 18 years old
小題2:You may have the highest level of stress when you are at the age of      .
A．20B．25C．35D．40
小題3:According to Arthur Stone, old people may      .
A．have a positive attitude towards their lifeB．know how to spend money wisely
C．dream about good things every dayD．control their behaviors better
小題4:Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?
A．Those who are worried about getting oldB．Those who are single and unemployed
C．Those who feel unhappy all the timeD．Those who suffer from mental stress
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Getting Older Means Getting HappierB．The Young Are Happier Than the Old

The question whether there is life on Mars (火星) has made the public think a lot for more than a century. The closest look showed Mars to be a dusty, cold world, covered by air too thin to breathe. A British spaceship and Europe's Mars spaceship plan to land on Mars or enter orbit (軌道) around it. One of the NASA’s (美國宇航局) spaceships is expected to land on January 3, the other is going to land on the opposite side of Mars on January 24. Since 1960, over twenty spaceships sent to Mars have failed. Most have been lost on flying up or landing because those are the most difficult times of any flights.     Scientists wanted to find out whether there was water in Mars. In October, a team of scientists reported that Mars had been a dry wasteland. But weeks later, a second team reported differently that they had found some marks showed clearly that they were made by the rivers. Such marks told us that Mars was a warmer place billions of years ago — just as life first appeared here on Earth. Scientists at once raise a question: if what they said is true, what happened on Mars? Then what about the earth?
小題1:Which is right about Mars?
A．It’s cold without dust.
B．There is no water or air.
C．It’s warm with some thin air.
D．It’s a dusty, cold world almost without air.
小題2:Two NASA’s spaceships _______________.
A．will land on the different sides of Mars

小題3:The most difficult times of a flight are _______________.
A．taking off
B．flying up and arriving
C．entering the orbit and landing
D．leaving the earth and entering the orbit
小題4:A team of scientists reported that there might be_____________ in Mars.
A．nothing but air
B．nothing
C．water billions of years ago

小題5:What are scientists worried about when they raise the question?

Sometimes an important new event happens after the program has started, so the presenter has to be able to read something without looking at it first. They must always keep calm even when there are many changes during the program. At the end of “News at Ten”Trevor McDonald says “And finally...”. Then he reads an unusual or interesting item. It’s a famous saying in England now.
