TechDEducation appears to protect older adults especially women, against memory loss, according to a study by in
27、vestigators at Georgetown University Medical Center.The Study tested declarative memory in 704 older adults (5898 years of age). Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events facts and words, such as where you put your keys or the name of that new neighbor. The investigators found that
28、 their memory performance became progressively worse with aging. However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women.For example, the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelors degree would be as good as those of a 60-year-old woman with
29、 a high school education. So, four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging.“Simply said, learning brings about learning.” says the studys senior investigator, Michael Unman. “Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is related to know
30、ledge we already have, more knowledge from more education should result in better memory abilities, even years later,” adds the studys lead author, Jana Reifegerste.“Evidence suggests that girls often have better declarative memory than boys, so education may lead to greater knowledge gains in girls
31、,” says Ullman, “Education may thus particularly benefit memory abilities in women, even years later in old age.”The study tested individuals in a non-western population. Participants varied in the number of years of education, from none at all to graduate studies. Future research is needed to test
32、whether the findings generalize to other populations.“These findings may be important, especially considering the rapidly aging population globally,” Reifegerste says, “The results argue for further efforts to increase access to education.”“Education has also been found to delay the beginning of Alz
33、heimers disease,” Ullman says, “We believe that our findings may shed light on why this occurs.”12.The underlined “counter”in Paragraph 2 probably means_.A. cancel B. change C. replace D. reduce13.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. New information. B. Declarative memory.C.
34、 Former education. D. Better memory ability.14.The research findings may help_.A. slow down the process of agingB. promote the development of educationC. advance the study of Alzheimers diseaseD. ensure the equal rights of women s education15.The passage mainly talks about that_.A. declarative memor
