Imagine,for a moment,that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside.How old would you say you are?
Like your height or shoe size,the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact.But everyday experience suggests that we often don't experience ageing the same way,with many people feeling older or younger than they really are.
Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality.They are finding that your subjective age may be essential for understanding the reasons that some people appear to flourish as they age-while others fade."The extent to which older adults feel much younger than they are may determine important daily or life decisions for what they will do next,"says Brian Nosek at the University of Virginia.
Its importance doesn't end there.Various studies have even shown that your subjective age also can predict various important health outcomes,including your risk of death.In some very real ways,you really are 'only as old as you feel'.
A torrent of new studies during the last 10 years have explored the potential psychological and physiological consequences of this discrepancy.
One of the most intriguing strands of this research has explored the way subjective age interacts with our personality.It is now well accepted that people tend to mellow as they get older,becoming less extroverted and less open to new experiences-personality changes which are less pronounced in people who are younger at heart and accentuated in people with older subjective ages.
Interestingly,however,the people with younger subjective ages also became more conscientious and less neurotic-positive changes that come with normal ageing.So they still seem to gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience.But it doesn't come at the cost of the energy and exuberance of youth.It's not as if having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.
Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age.It also means better physical health,including your risk of dementia,and less of a chance that you will be hospitalized for illness.
Why are scientists becoming more interested in "subjective age"?( )

After the last paragraph of this passage,what will the author most probably write about next?( )
Think about a time when you were extremely anxious--say,before standing up to publicly speak,raising your hand in a big meeting,or even walking through a room of strangers.The reason you felt small and scared and tense is you were worried about social disapproval.
Our fear of other people's opinions,or FOPO as I call it,has become an irrational and unproductive obsession in the modern world,and its negative effects reach far beyond performance.
If you start paying less and less attention to what makes you you--your talents,beliefs,and values-and start conforming to what others may or may not think,you' ll harm your potential.You’ll start playing it safe because you' re afraid of what will happen on the other side of the critique.You wont raise your hand when you can't control the outcome.You won't go for that promotion because you won't think you' re qualified.
Unfortunately,FOPO is part of the human condition since we' re operating with an ancient brain.A craving for social approval made our ancestors cautious and savvy;thousands of years ago,if the responsibility for the failed hunt fell on your shoulders,your place in the tribe could be threatened.
If you find yourself experiencing FOPO,there are ways to dampen the intensity of your stress responses.Once you' re aware of your thoughts,guide yourself toward confidence-building statements.These statements will help you focus on your skills and abilities rather than others' opinions.Take deep breaths,too.This will signal to your brain that you' re not in immediate danger.
But,if you really want to conquer FOPO,you’ll need to cultivate more self-awareness.If you want to be your best while being less fearful of people's opinions,you need to develop a stronger and much deeper sense of who you are.One way is to build your own personal philosophy.
I can't overstate how important a personal philosophy is.Working with NFL players,and senior leaders at Fortune 50 companies,I've noticed that,beyond a relentless pursuit of being their best,what makes these high performers great is their clear sense of the principles that guide them.Because of the clarity,they can shut out the noise and opinions of fans and media and listen to their own well-calibrated,internal compass.
According to the passage,the following ways could help reduce our intensity of stress responses and conquer FOPO,except .
Think about a time when you were extremely anxious--say,before standing up to publicly speak,raising your hand in a big meeting,or even walking through a room of strangers.The reason you felt small and scared and tense is you were worried about social disapproval.
Our fear of other people's opinions,or FOPO as I call it,has become an irrational and unproductive obsession in the modern world,and its negative effects reach far beyond performance.
If you start paying less and less attention to what makes you you--your talents,beliefs,and values-and start conforming to what others may or may not think,you' ll harm your potential.You’ll start playing it safe because you' re afraid of what will happen on the other side of the critique.You wont raise your hand when you can't control the outcome.You won't go for that promotion because you won't think you' re qualified.
Unfortunately,FOPO is part of the human condition since we' re operating with an ancient brain.A craving for social approval made our ancestors cautious and savvy;thousands of years ago,if the responsibility for the failed hunt fell on your shoulders,your place in the tribe could be threatened.

What does the second “you”(underlined in the 3rd paragraph) probably refer to?( )
A successful “your” that is respected and approved by others.
The “you” that is worrying about disapproval from others.
The “you” that other people think you should be.
The real “you” that have independent viewpoints and live to potential.

What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph?( )
The office used to be a place people went because they had to.Meetings happened in conference rooms and in person. Desks took up the bulk of the space. The pandemic has exposed the office to competition from remote working, and brought up a host of questions about how it should be designed in the future.
Start with what the office is for. In the past it was a place for employees to get their work done, whatever form that took.Now other conceptions of its role jostle for attention. Some think of the office as the new offsite. Its purpose is to get people together in person so they can do the things that remote working makes harder: forging deeper relationships or collaborating in real time on specific projects. Others talk of the office as a destination,a place that has to make the idea of getting out of bed earlier, in order to mingle with people who may have covid-19, seem attractive.
To bridge gaps between teams, one tactic is to set aside more of the office to showcase the work of each department, so that people who never encounter each other on Zoom can see examples of what their colleagues do. Another option is to ply everyone with drink. Expect more space to be set aside for socializing and events. Bars in offices are apparently going to be a thing.
Designs for the post-covid office must also allow for hybrid work. Meetings have to work for virtual participants as well as for in-person contributors: cameras, screens and microphones will proliferate. Gensler's New York offices feature mini-meeting rooms that have a monitor and a half-table jutting out from the wall below it, with seating for four or five people arranged to face the screen, not each other.
All of which implies the need for flexibility. Laptop docking stations are simple additions, but other bits of office furniture are harder to overhaul. Desks themselves tend to be tethered to the floor through knotted bundles of cables and plugs. The office of the future may well feature desks with wheels, which ought to go well with all that extra alcohol. Meeting rooms are likely to be more flexible, too, with walls that lift and slide.
If socializing and flexibility are two of the themes of the post-
pandemic office,a third is data. Property and HR managers alike will want more data in order to understand how facilities are being used, and on which days and times people are bunching in the office. Workers will demand more data on health risks: the quality of ventilation within meeting rooms, say,or proper contact-tracing if a colleague tests positive for the latest covid-19 variant.
Put this all together and what do you get? If you are an optimist, the office of the future will be a spacious, collaborative environment that makes the commute worth it. If you are a pessimist, it will be a building full of heavily surveilled drunkards. In reality, pragmatic considerations-how much time is left on the lease, the physical constraints of a buildings layout, uncertainty about the path of the pandemic-will determine the pace of change. Whatever happens, the office won't be what it was.
