考研英语阅读篇章:女人25岁时最快乐
一项调查发现，女人25岁时最快乐，而34岁时最郁闷，因为同时应对工作和家庭生活让她们“压力山大”。相比三十多岁的女人，二十多岁的女人对自己体重、相貌和社交生活的担忧都比较少。
Women aged 25 such as Daisy Lowe and Emma Stone are at their happiest while
34-year-olds such as Kelly Brook and Jessica Simpson are at the most stressful
time of their lives, according to new research.
A study of 2,000 women revealed that the pressure to juggle work and family
life is at its peak at the age of 34, while women aged 25 are the happiest.
The pressure of work, raising families plus paying bills and mortgages
stack up(堆积) to make the mid-thirties less fun than the mid-twenties for women
today, according to the study.
Women in their mid-twenties also worry less about their weight, looks and
social lives, than they do in their mid-thirties.
The survey also revealed that almost one in five women (18 percent)
describe themselves as unhappy due to stress. This was most true of women aged
35 to 44 and those who lived north of the border, with Scottish women found to
be the unhappiest in Britain.
And of all the 2,000 women surveyed, just one in eight (12 percent) believe
that women are happier than men.
Of the top 10 reasons that women said stressed them out, the most important
was found to be not having enough money, followed by health and the well-being
of family and friends.
In fourth place it was revealed that the happiness of children and a good
family life was a cause of stress, and how they came across to other people in
fifth place.
Being attractive was the sixth most biggest cause of stress, closely linked
with losing their looks in seventh place.
Careers were the eight biggest cause of stress for women, followed by
spending enough time with friends, and finally fitness levels.
When it came to changes that could make women's lives better it was
revealed that earning more was the top priority.
Women also said that spending more quality time with friends and family was
also a concern with 15 percent saying this would be the main lifestyle change
they would make.
The main cause for women is that they feel they are overweight with over
half (53 percent) saying this caused them stress.
Stomachs took second spot with just under half (46 percent) saying they
were worried it wasn't flat enough.
The third biggest body worry was revealed to be teeth, with 27 per cent of
women saying they felt stressed by not having perfect teeth.
Nikki Cooper, the founder of beauty products firm Inner Me which
commissioned the research, said: "As women enter their early to mid-thirties,
balancing the demands of work and family life can be really hard work, and the
ladies of this country can often find they have little 'me' time."
Amanda Hamilton, a TV nutritionist added: "It's interesting to note how
women can go from the happiest, most care-free time of their lives, to the most
stressful one, in just under a decade - one of the first things to suffer can be
our health but it's vital we take care of ourselves, and keep our 'Inner Me'
happy, whatever our age." |
