However, there was some decline in their psychomotor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general Dr. Jarvik's studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30's and 40's, but with those in their 60's and 70's as well. In the cases where the older person's mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.
According to Dr. Jarvik's studies, middle-aged and older persons would expect to ______.
A.remember less
B.reason better
C.learn fewer things
D.lose no intellectual ability

While searching for the origin of personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several computing claims. Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he first referred to a “personal computer” in a 1976 book; and GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to have used the term in a paper published in 1972.
But a search on JSTOR’s general science archive turned up what Shapiro says is the earliest recorded use of personal computer, in the October 4,1968, issue of Science. The issue contains a Hewlett-Packard advertisement for its new HP 9100A. “The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A personal computer,” the ad says, is “ready, willing and able …to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer.” The $4900 device---a desktop scientific calculator equipped with magnetic cars---does not seem like much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it was not very personal, either. But according to Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a personal computer.
1.The term “personal computer” first appeared().
A.in Byte magazine
B.in a Hewlett-Packard ad in Science
C.in a 1974 book
D.in a paper published by Alan Kay

4.With a HP9100A, according to the Hewlett-Packard ad, you().
A.can easily get on the big computer
B.do not have to get on the big computer
C.can save a lot of money
D.will be willing and ready to do scientific work

"We are seeing a ton of this," says Ross Levin, an Edina, Minn., financial adviser. "Sometimes it's a great idea and sometimes it is not. You have to make sure you put on your own oxygen mask first."
Some 62 percent of visitors to Grandparents.com have helped their kids financially in the past year, with 70 percent of that group handing over cash to help their adult children and grandchildren with daily expenses, says the site's CEO, Jerry Shereshewsky. Another popular category is housing; in the last year many parents have coughed up down payments to help their kids get into homes while the 8,000 first-time home buyer's credit was in effect.
Then there's the debt-bailout situation. A survey recently conducted by Creditcards.com for Newsweek found that 42 percent of folks with adult children have helped them pay off car loans, credit cards, medical bills, and more.
None of this is surprising to Shereshewsky, who sees the trend as a natural result of changing families and the distribution of wealth. "This is where all the money is--and it's where the money is, despite the fact that we've had this meltdown." In general, the baby-boom generation is far wealthier than their children are, and has a lower unemployment rate than 20-somethings. He says that the vast majority of multi-generation households now involve adult children (and sometimes their children) moving in with aging parents. Baby-boom parents generally aspire to helping their kids and their grandchildren and don't want to wait until they are dead to do it.
"You should give while you're young enough to enjoy the fruits of what you're doing," says Shereshewsky, who is personally considering getting a reverse mortgage on his home when it comes time to help his 20-something kids with home purchases.
According the passage, people are regarded as "strapped" if they are ______.
A.jobless in the recession
B.in financial difficulties
C.dependent on their parents
D.troubled by credit card debt
