Just as a person`s body ages at different rates, so does the mind. As adults advance in age, perception of sights, sounds and smells takes a bit longer, and storing new information in memory becomes more difficult. The ability to access memories quickly also gets worse. And it is sometimes harder to concentrate and maintain attention.
( ), the aging brain can create significant advantages by making use of its extensive store of knowledge and experience. The biggest trick that older people employ is to use both sides of the brain at the same time to handle tasks for which younger people depend on mainly one side. Positron-emission tomography images have shown that even when doing basic recognition or memory exercises, seniors make use of the left and right brain more extensively than those who are decades younger. Drawing on both sides of the brain gives them an advantage, even if the pure processing speed of each half of the brain is slower.

(1)In the same way (2)On top of that (3)On the other hand (4)Needless to say
In another experiment, a German researcher found that when elderly people were presented with new computer exercises they paused longer before reacting and took longer to complete the tasks, yet they made 50 percent fewer ( ), probably because of their steadier pace.
Another way to understand these results might be to ask the question who can type a paragraph "better": a 16-year-old who types at 60 words per minute with many mistakes or a 70-year-old who types at only 40 but spends less time fixing errors. If "better" is defined as completing a clean paragraph, both people may end up taking the same amount of time.

Before this day ends, the last of some 45 kinds of plants and animals will die.A month from now, species will be gone. Within a year, the number of vanished species will total about 17,500.Scientists provide these estimates, which represent the most hopeful case.The actual numbers may prove to be much higher.Among the vanishing species are African elephants.Ivory hunters kill the elephants illegally at the rate of about 200 a day.Farmers in overcrowded countries squeeze elephant herds into spaces too small to support them.Ten years ago 1.5 million elephants roamed the African countryside.
We don't know for sure when a series of weights and measures based on accurate units appeared
instead of the rough measurements of the earlies times.We know that the ancient Egyptians had such a system and that similar system were used in other ancient countries.Unfortunately, different regions adopted different measures.When the Romans established their empire, they decided to set up a series of units that would be the same all over the empire.As a result, many features of customary systems in use in modern times reflect the Roman system.For example, 'lb.' is short for the Latin libra or pound.
It took many centuries before people worked out accurate units of measurements and weights . The first ones were rough and available. People used as measures the human hand , the human foot, or the distance that a person could travel in a single day's journey . As civilization progressed, technological and commercial requirements led to increased standardization. For example, the length of the human foot varies from individual to individual. Therefore it probably became necessary to choose a particular individual (for example , the king ) . And then they reproduced standards based on this commonly accepted unit of length.
