She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. Its a special place for families to spend a vacation when a child had a life-threatening（致命的）illness. There were several jobs she did there, like gift giving and ice-cream serving. Mum said I would enjoy it, but I thought this was a boring job. Mum told me we were going to take a toy and an ice-cream to every child in the village. We got to the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, Gift Giving, and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the bedroom was a boy in a wheel chair. I gave him the gifts, and his face lighted up with happiness. I walked out and thought, That must be boring, unable to jump around.As I came into the second house with gifts, it seemed a little strange that the child didnt see me. His mum said something was much wrong with his eyes, so I needed to go and stand in front of him. When I did that, he became very excited and made a sign for thanks, though his legs couldnt move at all. When we went back home, Mum told me these kids might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I understood I should be more thankful that I dont have these illnesses. I no longer wanted to be at home listening to my CDs. I would rather be doing this, maybe making a difference in these kids lives. （1）Give Kids the World is a special place to spend a vacation when .

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people who worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they said, 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 US. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions(情绪)like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental(精神)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 22 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the adults who are in their seventies and eighties.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional things as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Researchers said they didnt 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 emotions.
