Pay and productivity, it is generally assumed, should be related. But the relationship seems to weaken 【C1】______people get older.
Mental ability declines with age. That is the same for the brainy and the dim—and not【C2】______for humans: it is measurable even for fruit flies. 【C3】______minds that keep lively will suffer less than the lazy. In general, the more education you have, the more productive your old 【C4】______will be.
Some 【C5】______decline faster than others. According to most studies, people’ s numerical and reasoning abilities are at their best in their 20 s and early 30 s. 【C6】______abilities—those that depend on knowledge—may improve with age.

Academics notice this. It is less clear that employers do. Studies of supervisors-ratings show no clear correlation 【C9】______age and perceived productivity. When other employees-views are【C10】______into account though, the picture changes: these ratings suggest that workers in their 30s are the 【C11】______productive and hardworking, with scores falling thereafter.
