体裁　说明文　　　　　话题　最幸福的日子
Good news: your happiest years are still ahead of you. Science says so! Think you have already reached your top in life? We want to share a piece of good news with you: 1. ________
According to new research, we're happiest at two points in our lives—not just one. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. 2. ________ And then, after five years' time, they reported back on how they actually felt.
Their results? Anything but bad! 3. ________ One's satisfaction reaches higher levels during two ends of the study's age range and moves up and down with middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness tops: ages 23 and 69.
4. ________ In our early 20s, we're energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age: new careers, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time—not to mention the money—to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment's notice.
Of course, that's all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying, regardless of your age! 5. ________ For example, you can take a walk or spend time with family. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older: an increase in happiness!
A. You might want to think again.
B. Your happiest years are still ahead.
C. If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense.
D. Experts recommend choosing small yet rewarding tasks.
E. Volunteers predicted how happy they would feel in five years.
F. The study found that happiness tends to follow a U−shaped line over a person's lifetime.
G. Take things one step further with the 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person.
