PASSAGE 2: Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question
LIFE SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION
Life satisfaction, which can be defined as general happiness or well being, is related to several
demographic and personal qualities. The factor of age is important because the elements that
make up life satisfaction may differ from one age to the next. Income is more likely to predict life
satisfaction among middle-aged and older adults than among young adults. Health is a more
significant predictor of happiness among older adults than among the young or the middle-aged.
However, average levels of life satisfaction do not change significantly with age. Generally
speaking, older adults are as satisfied with their lives as are younger or middle-aged adults.
There is no single element that guarantees high life satisfaction for everyone who possesses it.
Happiness seems to consist of many things that each person weighs differently, such as income,
education, work, and relationship. However, certain factors are reliable predictors of life
satisfaction. One such predictor is health, especially one’s perception of one’s own health rather
than a doctor’s objective health assessment. Another predictor of life satisfaction is a feeling of
being in charge of one’s own life and a sense of authority over one’s own decisions. Adults who
feel that they have some choices and options are generally happier than those who feel that their
lives are controlled by others or by fate or chance. For example, older adults who experience
financial strain feel less life satisfaction mainly because the problem signals a loss of control over
their lives.
The largest predictor of life satisfaction appears to be the adequacy of social relationships,
especially marriage and family relationships. The perceived quality rather than the quantity of
social interactions is most strongly related to happiness. Satisfaction with one’s close personal
relationships is more closely linked to overall life satisfaction than either demographic factors or
satisfaction with other key aspects of adult life such as occupation. This is true even among
highly educated men, who typically have a very high commitment to their work. The quality of
social support available in one’s key relationships affects the ability to handle stress and life
changes as well as one’s ongoing level of life satisfaction.
Studies suggest that family background and early-adulthood resources are predictors of
psychological health or success at midlife. People who age well are those who start out well. One
study showed that the happiest and most successful middle-aged adults and grown up in warm,
supportive, intellectually stimulating families. Well-adjusted or successful middle-aged adults
began adulthood with more personal resources, including better psychological and physical
health at college age. They also had been practical and well organized in college and had shown
greater intellectual competence.
However, no measure of early family environment or early-adult competence remained a
significant predictor of psychological well being at the end of middle age. One study of men
revealed that at the age of 65, there were no childhood or early-adulthood characteristics that
distinguished between men who had turned out well and those who had not. However, what did
predict success and well being at age 65 was the men’s health and adjustment at midlife. These
results suggest that a successful adult life is not something preordained from childhood or early
adulthood but rather something created out of the opportunities available over the course of one’s
life. Late-life success is related more directly to midlife qualities or experiences. People who start
out with certain advantages have a greater chance of experiencing further advantages; however, it
is what one does with the experiences – both positive and negative – that determines long-term
life satisfaction. The choices that people make in early adulthood help shape who they are at
midlife, and those midlife qualities in turn influence who they become later in life.
51. What point does the author make about the relationship of age to life satisfaction?
A. Age is the primary factor in determining life satisfaction.
B. The factors that determine life satisfaction are the same at every age.
C. Average levels of life satisfaction are similar for every age group.

54. The word “problem” in paragraph 2 refers to
A. authority B. fate or chance C. financial strain D. less life satisfaction
55. The word “adequacy” in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to
A. knowledge B. appearance C. memory D. quality
56. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about social relationships?

B. People with good family relationships also have good social relationships at work.
C. Highly educated people usually have many different kinds of social relationships.
D. The number of social relationships is more important than the type of relationship.

A. They are more satisfied with their lives than young adults are.
B. They perceive themselves as successful even when it is not true.
C. They are generally better adjusted than their parents were.
D. They probably had positive personal qualities as young adults.
58. Why does the author discuss a study of men in paragraph 5?
A. To illustrate a point about satisfaction late in life
B. To explain differences among men of different ages
C. To emphasize the importance of family relationships
D. To argue for more psychological studies about men
59. The word “preordained” in paragraph 5 is closet meaning to
