25、e: an explosion on the spacecraft. Its what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13, but its also a true story. The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970. Two days into the mission, the three-man crew were in big trouble. They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a

26、loud bang. Warning lights were starting to flash. Looking out into space, they could see a trail of gas the spacecraft was leaking oxygen. They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth: “Houston, weve had a problem here.” At first, they thought that a meteor（流星）had hit them, but they

27、 later found out that a short circuit（短路）had caused an oxygen container to explode. Whatever the cause, they knew there was no time to lose. Their electricity supply in the command module（指令舱）depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.The only solution was to move into the lu

34、emember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair.

35、mportant things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well

36、into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on

Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory(how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and

38、 perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also find

39、ing that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get o
