Education plays a key role in lifel

29、ong memory performance and risk for mental disorder, and its well documented that those with a college degree possess a cognitive（認(rèn)知的） advantage over their less educated counterparts in middle and old age. Now, a large national study from Brandeis University published in the American Journal of Geri

30、atric Psychiatry shows that those with less schooling can significantly make up for poorer education by frequently engaging in mental exercises such as word games, puzzles, reading, and lectures. “The lifelong benefits of higher education for memory in later life are quite impressive, but we do not

31、clearly understand how and why these effects last so long,” said lead author Margie Lachman, a psychologist. She suggested that higher education may encourage lifelong interest in cognitive efforts, while those with less education may not engage as frequently in mental exercises that help keep the m

32、emory agile (敏捷地). But education early in adulthood does not appear to be the only route to maintain your memory. The study found that intellectual activities undertaken regularly made a difference. “Among individuals with low education, those who are engaged in reading, writing, attending lectures,

33、 doing word games or puzzles once a week or more had memory scores similar to people with more education,” said Lachman. The study, called Midlife in the United States, assessed 3,343 men and women between the ages of 32 and 84 with a mean age of 56 years. Almost 40 percent of the participants had a

34、t least a 4-year college degree. The researchers evaluated how the participants performed in two cognitive areas, verbal memory and executive function brain processes involved in planning, abstract thinking and cognitive flexibility. Participants were given a battery of tests, including tests of ver

35、bal fluency, word recall, and backward counting. As expected, those with higher education said they engaged in cognitive activities more often and also did better on the memory tests, but some with lower education also did well, explained Lachman. “The findings are promising because they suggest the

36、re may be ways to level the playing field for those with lower educational achievement, and protect those at greatest risk for memory declines,” said Lachman. “Although we can not rule out the possibility that those who have better memories are the ones who take on more activities, the evidence is c

37、onsistent with cognitive plasticity (可塑性), and suggests some degree of personal control over cognitive functioning in adulthood by adopting an intellectually active lifestyle.”1、What is the text mainly about?AHigher education has a better cognitive advantage.BBetter memories result from college degr

38、ee.CCognitive activity does a mind good.DPoor education has more risk of memory declines.2、According to the result of Margie Lachmans study, we can conclude that _.Aeducation is responsible for the lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorderBeducation early in adulthood can be the only

39、route to maintain your memoryCthose with higher education did better on the memory tests than those with lower educationDan intellectually active lifestyle does help to maintain your memory3、What do we know about the study called Midlife?AParticipants each were given a battery to test their memory.B

40、The average age of the participants are 56 years old.CParticipants had to perform in one of the two cognitive areas.DOne in four of the participants had a 4-year college degree.4、Why are the findings of the Lachmans study promising?AThe lower educated may have the same opportunities to keep up memor
