问题    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.
   For most workers, decreased abilities will 【C7】______to lower productivity: only a minority will find know-how and knowledge outweighs their failing powers. Even those employees who remain highly productive will be likely to shine only in a narrow 【C8】______.
   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.
   That is 【C12】______up by studies of work samples, which find lower productivity among the oldest employees. A study for America’ s Department of Labor showed job performance peaking at 35, and【C13】______declining. It varied by industry: the fall was slower in footwear, but faster in furniture.
   Intellectual occupations are harder to measure, but the picture is the same. Academics seem to publish 【C14】______as they age. Painters, musicians and writers show the same tendency. Their output peaks in their 30s and 40s. The only【C15】______is female writers, who are most productive in their 50s.
