The process of meeting new friends online can be a fun new adventure, and many people have found a great number of friends from all over the world using the power of the Internet.In many ways the ability to meet friends online is an extension (延伸) of the pen pals we used to have as kids. Back then we would wait patiently by the mailbox for those pen pal letters to arrive. And on the other side of the world, our special friends would anticipate the same kind of thing to happen. The Internet age has taken that pen pal age to a wholly new level, making it easier than ever to meet friends. With just a click of a mouse you can meet friends online from faraway lands, sharing stories and experiences or just spending some time chatting together.A number of websites have made it even easier to meet friends, and those with an interest in this can definitely check those websites out.

Scott Fitzgerald, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary, “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary. ”This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was his novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgeralds problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say 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 United States. 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 like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental 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 the highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. Researchers say they do not 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 feelings. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.32According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier _.Awhen they come to their old age Bwhen they are between the ages of 18 and 85Cwhen they are in their twenties Dwhen they are 18 years old33According to Arthur Stone, old people may _.Aknow how to spend money wisely Bhave a positive attitude towards their lifeCcontrol their behaviors better Ddream about good things every day34Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage? A. Those who feel unhappy all the time. B. Those who are single and unemployed.C. Those who are worried about getting old D. Those who suffer from mental stress35The passage tells us_?AThe Younger, the Happier BThe Young Are Happier Than the Old CWomen Are Easier to Be Happy in Life DGetting Older Means Getting Happier 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Health is the most important thing in the world.
