37、o remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to t

38、he important things, our brains actually get better with age.

41、 ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists a

42、re also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions.

43、 as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60sC.
