26、are surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96. The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受訪者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age

27、 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future. Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more s

28、atisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk

29、 of death within the following decade,” wrote Frieder R. Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark future

30、 may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (預(yù)防措施),” the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.

31、 Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions. Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was

32、clear. “We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.12.According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A.

36、words that mean practically the same thing. Get, obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. 16 That was the thinking of a British writer named C. K. Ogden, who in the 1930s proposed a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 17 Ogden arrived at

37、 his 850-word list through experimentation, rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 18 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” words like come, go, get, take, have,

38、make, be, and do Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory. Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 19 Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest

39、, joked that Churchills famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears, and sweat” to his country wouldnt have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water, and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famou

Do we really need them all?B. How many words are there in English?C. Ogden himself didntactually use Ba

41、sic English.D. Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.F.
