11、problems or even Alzheimers (老年痴呆). Education plays a key role in lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorder, and its well documented that those with a college degree possess a cognitive（认知的） advantage over their less educated counterparts in middle and old age. Now, a large national s

12、tudy from Brandeis University published in the American Journal of Geriatric 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

13、education for memory in later life are quite impressive, but we do not 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 educatio

14、n may not engage as frequently in mental exercises that help keep the memory 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 ed

15、ucation, those who are engaged in reading, writing, attending lectures, 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 w

16、ith a mean age of 56 years. Almost 40 percent of the participants had at 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 flexib

17、ility. Participants were given a battery of tests, including tests of verbal 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

18、, explained Lachman. “The findings are promising because they suggest there 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 be

19、tter memories are the ones who take on more activities, the evidence is consistent 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 h

27、their ideas.This year, we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used. For example, some U.

28、s.One fast-growing area of AI is facial recognition, which is increasingly being used for security purposes.
