“At almost any given age，most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others，”Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的)science researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligence changes as we age，told Business Insider.His team quizzed thousands of people aged 10—90 on their ability to do things like remembering lists of words，recognizing faces，learning names，and doing math.Their results suggest that no matter your age，there’s almost always a new peak on the horizon.
The human brain has a remarkable capacity to recognize and identify faces，and scientists are just beginning to learn why.On average，we know that our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.
Having trouble focusing? The study suggests that our ability to maintain attention improves with age，reaching its peak around age 43.While younger adults may excel in the speed and flexibility of information processing，adults approaching their mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.
Dating is tough.One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s.That’s according to one component of Hartshorne’s study，which involved showing thousands of people images of faces cropped tightly around the eye area.Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo was feeling.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.
Many people believe that their math skills decline after they leave school and stop practicing arithmetic.But the next time you try to split up a check，keep this in mind:your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday.
Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble? Good news:Your best days may be ahead.According to people’s scores on multiple—choice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.
1、What did the scientists mainly test during the research?
A．Communication ability. B．Athletic ability.
C．Intelligence ability. D．Reading ability.
2、What does the underlined word“apex”in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Destination. B．Top. C．Goal. D．Minimum.
3、Who is most likely to succeed according to the text?
A．Lucy，72，trying to win at Scrabble.
B．Tom，26，trying to identify strangers’ faces.
C．Jack，48，trying to focus his attention for a long time.
D．Lily，43，trying to read the emotions in different eyes.
4、What does Hartshorne’s study mainly tell us?
A．There is no end to learning.
B．Constant dropping wears away the stone.
C．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.
D．A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long.
