25、Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is“happier”, then you are right,based on a study published seven years ago.It found that people become happier and experience less worry after age fifty.In fact,it found that by the age of eighty-five,people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008.At that time,people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
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 twenty-two and twenty-five.Stress levels dropped sharply(急剧)after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns(情感模式)as they grow older.However, women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory(推测)is that,as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

26、People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others. Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. People′s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them.
There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish people′s thoughts, but the major reason is to give information. With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share people′s ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way. People can now let the world know their hopes, dreams and day to day activities through a web blog. Better than that, many sites allow customers to create their own web blog for free. The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(内容). And the blogger is the person who puts that content on the blog. Blogs can be very powerful. Blogs can change the world by changing the opinions of large numbers of people around the world.

27、Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River.
