The【C19】______news is,【C20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【C4】
选项 A、resides with
B、rests with
C、depends on
D、reckons on
答案C
解析 本句指出：研究表明幸福感的确随着年龄的增长而增强，但总体幸福感______一个人的出生时间。C．depends on可用来表明原因，即“某事受…影响或取决于…”，代入文中，说明影响总体幸福感的另一个原因是人的出生时间，符合文意。resides with强调“权力、权利等属于某人、某机构”，不符合文意；rests with指“由(某人)负责”，只接sb．；reckons on(doing)sth．强调对某事会发生的一种希望，不符合题意。
