17、lm, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity _31_ to any given product.

Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin
24、, there is a(n) _41_ change which comes with older age. When humans reach their later years, they favour more long-term _42_ and their social cirele is reduced.Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same _43_ in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanze
25、es (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their _44_ friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social _45_ of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They clas

27、nd non-friendships, where neither chimp showed _48_ the other.When the scientists looked at the _49_ of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps.

However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees _54_ the human sense of mortality (死亡) , suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford
30、, said in humans, the _55_ social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, he said.41Aphysic
