Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an
illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in Trang 4


old people, such as the graying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat
include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight graying of the
coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.
Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach
their peak at the time of maturity, or early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for
example, gradually become lighter and more brittle. In the aged, the joints between the bones also
become rigid and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.
All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and
even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.
One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the
heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of body. This
condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.
Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out at different rates. There are great
differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells of the body differ in the way they age. The
majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve
cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.
Gerontologists - scientists who study the process of aging-believe this wearing out of the body is
controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that
they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.
Question 43: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants.
B. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity.
C. Not all signs of aging are visible.

A. soft and easily bent B. hard and endurable
