A

An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).

While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of34,men will wait until their45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape.

The average woman spends more time talking about sports,politics,career and money as she gets older.

Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰)at the age of22,while that of men does so when they are in their50s.

Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age30,while women do not do so until eight years later.Both,however,care most about fashion at age16.

The research used anonymous(匿名的)data donated by thousands of Facebook users,recording the statuses,‘likes’and‘interests’they had posted on their profiles.

It found the average woman talks about television most at44,while men peak much younger,at age31.

Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age31,while women go out to see films most when they are only19.

Men are most interested in travel at29,women at27,while women talk most about food and drink at35,and men at38.

And if you are middle aged,a safe topic for any audience is the weather,which is a key interest for many as they approach60.

Stephen Wolfram,the British scientist who carried out the research,says,“It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.

“People talk less about video games as they get older,and more about politics.”
