Some people are super-agers, who are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much younger people.Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But the change of the super-agers goes much more slowly. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory (记忆) was shown to be thicker in super-agers. When we look at a super-agers brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. They usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends.Growing old, she adds, does not have to be depressing (令人沮丧的) and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, well understand that not all getting old makes us sad.Rogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees- meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-agers mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most. The science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the research offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.（1） Super-agers are people _.

They listened to the same classes and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the laptop users performed worse at remembering and using the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the class. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed much better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to a better performance in the future.（1） The students who prefer laptops for notetaking want to _.
