一、阅读理解。

Aging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older

is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness.

There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down

to this: Attitude is everything.

Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than

their younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent

study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can

bring more cheer as people bee more fortable with themselves and their roles in society.

The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time

on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.

But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.

"The notion that those in old age are happiest is misleading," said Richard Easterlin,

a professor of economics at the University of Southern California. "It is based on paring

people of different ages who are the same in terms of ine, health, family life." Easterlin

added, "When you take account of the fact that older people have lower ine than younger,

are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept

that they are happier.

In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social

networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.

Even if one does give in to age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go

hand-in-hand. It's all about attitude. Research by the University of Chicago’s Yang suggests

that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was

born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest

expected levels of happiness.

Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there

doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life. “Most 文档供参考，可复制、编辑，期待您的好评与关注！
