Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning<推论;说服> and spatial <空间的>skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive(认知的;认识的) decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated(旋转的) form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g.  "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated(占有主导地位的) by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders(性别), women showed obviously less decline than men overall(全部地).

  My husdand had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the 1 day, and I washed a lot of things. Everything worked 2 , but I could't find 3 of my husband's socks though I had looked 4 for it.

  The next morning, I got ready for 5 as usual, when the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them and told them 6 we were going to do 7 .

  When I turned 8 to write on the blackboard, the class burst out 9 . They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was 10 the headmaster would be in to see all this.

  I asked the class to 11 , but the 12 I talked, the more they laughed. So I thought I had better pay 13 attention to them and continue to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they laughed even more.

  Before long, the teacher who had the room next to 14 came to see 15 all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started 16 too.

  “Good Heavens!” I said, “Will 17 please tell me what is, so 18 ?”

  “Oh, God.”said the teacher, “You have a brown 19 stuck to the back of your shirt.”

  So that's 20 I found my husband's missing sock.

  “Oh, well,” I said to the class, “Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static electricity (静电).”

When studying in a middle school,I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it were your last,someday you’ll most certainly be right. ”It made a deep   36  on me, and since then, for the past 33 years,I have  37  in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life,  3 8  I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a  39  ,I know I need to change something.

    Remembering that I’ll be  40  soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big  41  in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death  42  only what is truly important.

    About a year ago I was  43  with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs   44  order,which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I  45  with that diagnosis all day.   46  ,at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  47  with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

     48  wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all  49  . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,because death is very likely the single best invention of  50  . It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to  51  for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too  52  from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic,but it is quite true.

    Your time is  53  ,so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be  54  by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner  55  . And most importantly,have the courage to follow your heart.

Dear Annie,

I feel betrayed by my friend Hannah. We have been best friends  31 primary school and spend almost every day with each other.

On Monday, we had a surprise math quiz. I thought it was quite 32 and was not worried about the results. The next day after class, my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! I felt so ashamed. I 33 Hannah not to tell anyone else, and she said she would 34 my secret.

35, the next day, I noticed that my classmates were  36 at me as I came into math class and, when I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, ‘Stupid Sarah got a D!’ I thought that Hannah  37 have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to.

I was so angry that I went  38 to Hannah and told her we weren’t going to be friends any more. She was really upset and swore that she hadn’t told 39 , but I didn’t believe her explanation. I don’t think I can ever truly forgive her. Now I have 40 my best friend. What shall I do?

Yours sincerely,

Sarah
