I: Good evening, everybody. In this show, we are glad to have Alice Johnson to discuss with us her understanding of people in the 40s. Their worries and concerns. Well, Alice.
A: Good evening. Nice to meet you.
I: It is reported that this year, 4.7 million Americans — more than ever before and more than in the foreseeable future — will "celebrate" their 40th birthday. How do you view this phenomenon?
A: It will certainly have wonderful implications for Americans of all ages. It will help create a stronger economy, and a more stable society.
I: Really? Then how about people in the 40th themselves?
A: Their life, I am afraid, is bittersweet. On the one hand, they are healthier, better educated, and have more opportunities than previous middle-agers. But they are also more financially insecure than their parents or older siblings were at this age. They have resisted growing up more than any previous generation; they’ve had kids later and cosmetic surgery sooner. As a result, today’s 40s are facing an unprecedented time crunch. They are working harder at their jobs, rushing home to care for younger children and older parents, and still trying to squeeze in a little age-defying exercise.
I: Can you tell us something more about their health?
A: OK. Most people first realize that they’re not so young anymore when they hit their 40s. The belly laps over the belt, knees creak, and hair shades to gray. Vision becomes less acute, strength is sapped, and it’s harder to remember names. The sad reality is that this isn’t the start of aging. The physical decline begins much earlier, often in the 20s. Even more depressing is that these changes are normal.
I: That’s true. People in their 40th often have the above symptoms.
A: But there’s plenty of good news about turning 40 now. Today’s 40-year-olds are much healthier than their parents were at the same age. Deaths from heart disease in the 35-to-44 age group have dropped by more than 50 percent since the 1970s; cancer deaths, by one third. Forty-year-olds are much less likely to have high blood pressure. The result is that typical 45-year-olds take a little longer to remember someone’s name or where they put the car keys.
I: Is this a sign for Alzheimer’s?
A: Well, it isn’t so serious. Persistent cognitive problems in a 40-something are almost always the result of a treatable problem: depression, side effects of medication, or drinking too much.
1. According to Alice, how is the life of people in the 40s?
2. Why do 40s nowadays feel time-pressing?
3. Which one is NOT the symptom of 40s according to the interview?
4. Which one is NOT the good news of turning 40?
5. Which one is NOT the reason of persistent cognitive problems?

A、Bitter and horrible.

C、Bitter and sweet.
