As they grow older, most people wonder how increasing age will affect intelligence. Can people in middle age and beyond expect to think as effectively and to solve problems as efficiently as they have in the past
One of the difficulties in comparing the intellectual functioning of people at different ages is the problem of cohort((具有相同特征的)一群人) effects.

[单项选择]The older I grow the more impressed I am with the role of luck or chance in life. To be born when and where one finds himself is, of course, from the point of view of the individual pews the sheerest luck of all--good or bad.
There are millions now living in America who would long since have been dead, had they been born or had remained in countries of their parents’ origins.

A. life span
B. places of birth
C. achievement
