参考译文
当人们变老时是变得更快乐还是更为性情古怪呢?抛开典型的脾气暴躁的邻居们不谈,科学家们数十年来一直在试图回答这个问题。但一直没有得出一致的结论。当下针对数千名l885年至l980年之间出生的美国人的一项研究表明.虽然幸福感的确随着年龄的增长而增强,但总体幸福取决于一个人的出生时间。
之前有研究将老年人与中年人和年轻人进行了对比,发现老年人不如后两者那样幸福。但这些研究无法辨别他们的不满是因为他们的年龄还是由于各自不同的人生经历。1月24日在线《心理科学》杂志发表了一项新研究。该研究通过对数千美国人历经30年的数据的审查得出了这项答案。研究数据包括对情绪和幸福感的心理评估、工作和人际关系的成功报告以及对健康的客观评价。
通过控制了健康、财富、性别、种族、教育等变量后,研究人员发现幸福感在每个人的一生中是逐渐增加的。但是.那些经历过“大萧条”这类极度困难的人们,在开始的时候不及那些生活更为舒适的人们幸福。这一发现有助于解释为什么过去的研究发现总是得出相互矛盾的结果——经历很重要,艰苦的岁月能够影响整整一代人余生的幸福。然而令人欣慰的是,无论我们经历过什么,随着年龄的增长,我们都有望感觉更满足。
解析
aside的意思是 “撇开……不谈”,根据文意可知,撇开那些典型的脾气暴躁的邻居们不谈,即不将这些极端个例计入在内。因此,正确答案是M。
