4、tizens.indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. since bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the un, its mission, its agendas (議程) and its supporting organizations. she decided to give $10, 000 of her own money to

5、 pay for the late june trip, enough to take 10 students aged 1417 on a four­night stay in new york. there, they had guided tours of the un headquarters and the new york city harbor. it was quenyaun payne's first trip to the city and taylor sappington's second. payne, 17, is a senior at

7、eping peace，”sappington said. payne commented, “the trip was amazing. i'm so thankful mrs. bailey made it possible.” actually, there are a lot of people grateful for the retired teacher's effort. the united nations association of atlanta recently gave bailey its humanitarian award, and the u

8、nited nations association of the us awarded her with the national education award. but bailey wasn't looking for recognition or even gratitude. over those four days in new york, she'd already felt it and seen it in the eyes of those 10 teenagers, payne and sappington included, who made the t

13、more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life. the big question is why seniors are happier. a recent study suggests one reason：older adults remember the past through happy memories. aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. th

14、e older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work. but others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older. “the notion that those in old age are happier is misleading，”

15、said richard easterlin, a professor of economics at the university of southern california. “it is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health and family life.” easterlin added, “ when you take account of the fact that older people who have lower income tha
