Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.
Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right based on a study in 2008. It found that people generally 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.
43. The r______ between age and happiness.
【正确答案】：relationship；段落大意为，人是越老越不快乐还是越快乐?如果你的答案是“更快乐”，那么根据2008年的一项研究，你是对的。研究发现，人们在50岁之后通常会变得更快乐，烦恼也会更少。事实上，研究发现，到85岁时，人们的生活比18岁时更幸福。题意为，年龄和幸福之间的关系。故填relationship，关系。
