But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people bee happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 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. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（氣質(zhì)） 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 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. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with 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（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect（影響） the levels of happiness.（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?

But sometimes our hope for getting more gold medals can result in our more disappointment （失望） if the athletes fail to get them. For example, when Liu Xiang, China39。s track hero, pulled out of the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of his injury （傷勢(shì)）, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans. But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient （寬容的） Chinese attitude towards the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit—that is—friendship, participation, fair play and never give up. China didn39。t win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing （批評(píng)） the athletes, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. They have tried their best. Athletes don39。t feel good after they miss the gold medal. That39。s the attitude of most audience. It shows the maturity （成熟） of a person, and is also a development of a country. Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans39。 hearts, even though she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased from 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans like her straightforward character and attitude towards petitions. The attitude towards the Olympics has got to a higher level. We are happy to see this warm change. said an article in People39。s Daily.（1）When sports fans were watching the Olympic Games on TV, they ________. A.chee
