21、 of extra work to make up for my disability pension (残疾抚恤金). As I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my choices.

38、y 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.Th

39、e findings came from a Callup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

40、d the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likel

41、y to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influ

42、ences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what the

43、y have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 63.

A few seconds?Google engineers have discovered that even 400 millisecondsas short as the blink of an eyeis too long for most Internet users.A millisecond

48、 is one thousandth of a second.

49、mputers are constantly gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds sl

50、ower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more pati

51、ent waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load.
