问题 　　Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【C1】________, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been 【C2】________. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being【C3】________increases with age but overall happiness【C4】________when a person was born.
　　【C5】________studies that have【C6】________older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【C7】________whether their【C8】________was because of their age or be cause of their【C9】________life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science, 【C10】________ out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【C11】________measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
　　The researchers found, after controlling for variables【C12】________health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’ s lifetime. 【C13】________people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression, 【C14】________much less happy than those who have had more【C15】________lives. This finding helps to【C16】________why past studies have found conflicting results—experience【C17】________, and tough times can【C18】________ an entire generation’ s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【C19】________news is, 【C20】________we’ ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【C18】
选项 A、influence
B、boost
C、delay
D、enrich
答案A
解析 考查动词辨析。上文指出经历过艰苦岁月的人不及那些生活更为舒适的人们幸福，说明艰苦的岁月降低了人们的幸福感，排除boost“促进，增加”和enrich“使丰富，使充实”。delay“延后(幸福感)”解释不通。只有A．influence“影响”符合文意，表示“艰苦的岁月能够影响整整一代人余生的幸福”，故为正确选项。
