  Science says: You adapt to all new experiences, and any joy from a new work environment will likely fade with time. If you've gained responsibility, your expectations and aspirations will increase too. One classic study tracked job satisfaction before and after a voluntary job change among high­level managers whose average salary was $135,000. Researchers found that managers experienced a burst of happiness right after the new job, but within a year, satisfaction plummeted to their pre­move levels.

  Boost your happiness: To avoid taking a new job for granted, Lyubomirsky advises to "re­experience" what you didn't like about your previous work. If you used to make a lot less money, spend one week a month living on your old salary. If you worked at night, make yourself work late regularly. Mentally transporting yourself to where you didn't want to be will help you find more happiness in your current role.

  解析 A 词义猜测题。画线词前半句提到经理们在得到新工作后会经历一阵狂喜,画线词前出现了but一词,表示转折,因此可推断下文的意思是:他们的满足感在一年内会下降,故选A项。
