The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France, was prevalent in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). An original European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International(International Cyclists' Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.
The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving taps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.
There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course.

Some brains do deteriorate with age. Alzheimer's disease, for example, strikes 13 percent of Americans 65 and older. But for most aging adults, the authors say, much of what occurs is a gradually widening focus of attention that makes it more difficult to latch onto just one fact, like a name or a telephone number. Although that can be frustrating, it is often useful. "It may be that distractibility is not, in fact, a bad thing," said Shelley H. Carson, a psychology researcher at Harvard whose work was cited in the book. "It may increase the amount of information available to the conscious mind. "
For example, in studies where subjects are asked to read passages that are interrupted with unexpected words or phrases, adults 60 and older work much more slowly than college students. Although the students plow through the texts at a consistent speed regardless of what the out-of-place words mean, older people slow down even more when the words are related to the topic at hand. That indicates that they are not just stumbling over the extra information, but are taking it in and processing it. When both groups were later asked questions for which the out-of-place words might be answers, the older adults responded much better than the students.
"For the young people, it's as if the distraction never happened," said an author of the review, Lynn Hasher, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute. "But for older adults, because they've retained all this extra data, they' re now suddenly the better problem solvers. They can transfer the information they've soaked up from one situation to another. "
Such tendencies can yield big advantages in the real world, where it is not always clear what information is important, or will become important. A seemingly irrelevant point or suggestion in a memo can take on new meaning if the original plan changes. Or extra details that stole your attention, like others'yawning and fidgeting, may help you assess the speaker's real impact.
From the first two paragraphs, we learn that______.
A.aging brains tend to process more information simultaneously
B.one becomes forgetful when he gets old
C.older people don't think their brainpower is declining
D.the aged always stress long-term benefit
