within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.the paper, published this march in psychology and aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 germans between ages 18 and 96. the surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.the researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middleaged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“we observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote frieder r. lang, a professor at the university of erlangennuremberg.lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施)，” the authors wrote.surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline. also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.the authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.however, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “we found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic，” the authors concluded.文章大意：本文主要讲述了不同年龄段的人们对未来生活的态度，对生活的满意度和幸福指数。17according to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?aoptimistic adults. bmiddleaged adults.cadults in

over and introduced himself as gordon. he said that although he couldnt give me a lift, i should come back to his house for lunch. he noticed me standing for hours in the november heat and thought i must be hungry. i was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使放心)me i was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. when we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. after lunch, he helped me find a lift home.twentyfive years later, in 2003, while i was driving to a nearby town one day, i saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. i thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour id been given decades earlier. i pulled over and picked him up. i made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.after a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “you havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” i couldnt remember where id met him. he then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. it was gordon.文章大意：本文是一篇故事，讲述了二十五年前“我”被困高速路边，男人提供给我午餐并帮我搭便车回家。二十五年后，我看到一位老人站在烈日下搭便车，我想起了多年前有人对我的帮助，我让老人上了我的车。老人说：“你一点没变”。他就是多年前帮我的那个人。1the author had to
