Mental ability declines with age. That is the same for the brainy and the dim—and not 【B2】______for humans: it is measurable even for fruit flies.【B3】______minds that keep lively will suffer less than the lazy. In general, the more education you have, the more productive your old【B4】______will be.
Some【B5】______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.【B6】______abilities—those that depend on knowledge—may improve with age.

Academics notice this. It is less clear that employers do. Studies of supervisors-ratings show no clear correlation【B9】______age and perceived productivity.

答案
But
解析
该句话意为:“…活跃的大脑会比懒散的大脑受到的影响要小。在一般情况下,你受到的教育越多,年老时你就会越富有。”可知此处需要填写一个关联词,与上一句话承接起来。联系上下句可知此处并非并列与递进而是转折。故填But。
