Interviewer: In his play As You Like It, Shakespeare talks about the seven ages of man, the seven stages which we pass through during our lives. And Jane Hornby, you’ve now written a book called The Seven Average Ages. Is that ages of man, or does that include women too?
Jane: No, it’s the seven average ages of everyone, man and woman.
I: The book goes through seven different 1 of our lives and describes what happens to the average person. Where do you start?
J: At the age of ten, which is the average age when you have your closest friendships, although not with the 2 sex. Ten-year-olds usually get on well with their parents, but also need to spend more time 3 .
I: And 20？
Ｊ：In the US, your twenties are when many women get married, although only a third marry at this age because they want to. And the human brain is 4 at 20.
I: I’m in my thirties. What does your book say about that?
J: It’s the happiest time of your life if you’re a 5 sort of person, but if you’re unhappy, it’s the time when most people stop feeling young. Then we come to 40, the year of becoming middle-aged when your age starts to show round your middle. And in fact you start to 6 at 40.
I: And 50.
J: That’s when old friendships grow closer and warmer. But it’s also the average age when people have to wear glasses, and certain food begins to 7 . Sixty is the age when most people start to lose their friends, so it’s a time when you think a lot about the meaning of life.
I: And 70…
J: Well, if you’re healthy, it’s a time when people enjoy what they’ve done: the family they’ve brought up, their grandchildren. It’s a time of 8 and celebration about their lives.
