The study, frm the University f Yrk, fund that adults aged 60 and ver wh play digital puzzle games had a greater ability t ignre irrelevant distractins（干扰）,but lder adults wh played strategy games did nt shw the same imprvements in memry r cncentratin.
It is knwn that as humans age, their mental abilities tend t decrease, particularly the ability t remember a number f things at a single time—knwn as wrking memry. Previus research, hwever, has shwn that the way we hld infrmatin in the brain changes as we get lder, and s the Yrk team lked at whether the impacts f particular types f mental stimulatin, such as gaming, als had changed effects depending n age.
Dr. Fina, frm the University f Yrk's Department f Psychlgy, said: "A lt f research has fcused n actin games, as it is thught that reacting quickly, keeping track f targets and s n helps attentin and memry, but ur new analysis shws that the actin elements d nt seem t ffer significant benefits t yunger adults.

The researchers say future study culd fcus n why there is a difference between the impacts f types f games depending n the age f a player and whether this is cnnected t hw the brain stres infrmatin as peple age.

Jenny,18, suffering frm cughing and speechlessness, came t Sigmund Freud. She'd becme depressed, even having n desire t live. During ne sessin, as he tried t help her uncver the surce f her sickness, Freud bserved Jenny tying with a small handbag. Interpreting the act as an expressin f cntrlled desire, Freud cncluded, “N peple can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his finger-tips; the details reveal everything.”
Smetimes a handbag is just a handbag, but mdern research des supprt the idea that secrecy can be a surce f mental and physical sadness. Keeping a secret requires cnstant effrt. In ne recent study, subjects asked t hide their sexual rientatin perfrmed wrse n a spatial ability task, reacted mre rudely t criticism, and gave up sner in a test f handgrip endurance（握力耐力）.And the bigger the secret, the harder it is t keep. Anther study fund that subjects asked t recall a meaningful secret believed hills t be mre dangerus and distances t be lnger than thse asked t recall a small secret. When researchers asked t help mve bks frm their lab, the subjects harbring meaningful secrets lifted fewer piles.
Research shws an assciatin between keeping a meaningful secret and illness ranging frm the cmmn cld t chrnic（慢性的）diseases. It cncludes that teens wh pen their mind t a parent r clse friend reprt fewer physical cmplaints and less bad behavir, lneliness, and depressin than thse wh sit n their secrets. One reasn why secret keeping is such hard wrk is that secrets, like unwanted thughts, tend t take up mre brain space.
Researchers have identified a small class f "repressrs", wh experience fewer intrusive （妨碍的）thughts abut sensitive infrmatin they are cntrlling: they may keep their secrets s tightly wrapped that they manage t hide them even frm themselves.
32. What is Paragraph One aimed at?
A. Prviding an example f depressin.B. Shwing us hw Freud treated Jenny.
C. Intrducing the tpic f secret-keeping.D. Presenting the imprtance f bserving patients.
33. What can we infer frm the secnd paragraph?
A. Thse keeping secrets didn't need cnstant effrt.
B. Keeping secrets can nly cause mental discmfrt.
C. Keeping a big secret is mre challenging than a smaller ne.
D. Subjects were asked t keep their sexual rientatin secret.
34. What can be cncluded abut teenagers wh tell their secrets t parents?
A. They react mre rudely t criticism.B. Their immune systems are enhanced.
C. They have less physical and emtinal truble.D. They dn't hide any secrets frm themselves.
35. What des the underlined wrd repressrs in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Peple wh ften pen their mind t families r friends.
B. Peple wh keep secrets s well as if they didn't exist.
C. Peple wh are easily influenced by unwanted thughts.
