I’d like to give you a wish. It’s my pleasure to satisfy you,” said the Luck Fairy.”，可知，幸運(yùn)天使因?yàn)樗麨槿撕?，所以想給予他恩惠，故選擇D（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段可知，F(xiàn)red沒(méi)有要求任何東西，“Thanks, Luck Fairy. We’re living a happy life”以及“We are happy to work and live together all the time. That’s enough”，故選擇A（4）綜合理解題，文章多出提出“We’re living a happy life”，以及夫婦倆對(duì)生活很滿足沒(méi)有要求，可知他們生活很幸福。故選擇C（5）主旨大意題。文中清貧夫婦后來(lái)繼續(xù)過(guò)著幸福生活的結(jié)局，以及文章結(jié)尾句“ Satisfaction is a kind of feeling that needs to be experienced from inside. It‘s very important to be satisfied with what you’ve got. If you enjoy the pleasure of the simple life, good luck will follow you.”都在說(shuō)明滿足會(huì)讓生活變得幸福。故選擇C【點(diǎn)評(píng)】文章以清貧且外人看來(lái)不幸的一對(duì)夫婦的故事，講述了一個(gè)哲理，需要抓住故事的重點(diǎn)，并結(jié)合文后的總結(jié)，一起來(lái)抓住文章主旨大意。2．閱讀理解 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 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?
