26、   Most of us feel younger or older than we really are. This “subjective age” is simply based on the way we feel inside. The number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact, but everyday experiences suggest that we often don’t experience ageing the same way.

Scientists find that “subjective age” is the key to understanding why some people appear to be energetic as they age—while others do not. What’s more, various studies have shown that your subjective age can predict important health outcomes. In some real ways, you really are only as old as you feel.

One interesting study has discovered the way our subjective age interacts with our personality. It is now well-accepted that people tend to become less open to new experiences while ageing. However, such personality changes are less pronounced in people with a younger heart and more noticeable in people with older subjective age. Moreover, people with younger subjective ages become more careful—good changes that come with normal ageing, thus making fewer mistakes. On the other hand, some studies suggest that feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age results in an 18-25% greater risk of death and disease, while feeling younger means better physical health and less of a chance of being hospitalized. But the connection between health and subjective age almost certainly acts in both directions. If you feel upset and physically weak, you are likely to feel older. The result could be a vicious cycle (恶性循环). In this way, the effect of subjective age on health is comparable or stronger than that of actual age.

With these in mind, many scientists are trying to discover reasons that may shape this process. When do we start to feel that our minds and bodies are operating on different timescales? And why does it happen?

One study found that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are. But this changes at around 26, when 70% would prefer to be younger. Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense, protecting us from negative age stereotypes (消极的年龄刻板印象) in different areas of life, such as work and health. Believing “I may be 65 but I only feel 50” would mean you are less worried about your performance at work, for example. This thinking helps people distance themselves from the society’s sad view of ageing and gives us a hopeful view of the future.

With these findings, it is possible that in the future, science might be able to reduce people’s subjective age and improve their health as a result. In the meantime, these findings can give us a clearer view of the way our own brains and bodies weather the passing of time. No matter how old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from within.

【1】According to the passage, subjective age   .

A.will not easily change when you get older

B.is simply based on how others think of you

C.refers to the number of years you have lived

D.results from your personal experience of ageing

【2】What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Obvious B.Important C.Beneficial D.Limited

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.People with higher subjective age are healthier.

B.More people will have higher subjective age after 26.

C.Actual age has a stronger effect on people’s health condition.

D.A lower subjective age may free us from the society’s sad view of ageing.

【4】The writer believes that .

A.the age we feel is important to us

B.subjective age is too good to be true

C.future science will prevent us from getting old

D.there are many unknown areas hidden in our brains
