Text I (Questions 13-17)

Imagine your brain as a house filled with lights. Now imagine someone turning off the lights one by one. That's what Alzheimer's disease does. It turns off the lights so that the flow of ideas, emotions and memories from one room to the next slows and eventually ceases. And sadly - as anyone who has ever watched a parent, a sibling or a spouse succumb to the spreading darkness knows - there is no way to stop the lights from going off, no way to switch them back on once they have grown dark, at least not yet. That might change sooner than one mignt have dared hoping, though, predicts Harvard University neurologist Dr. Dennis Selkoe, Alzheimer's disease will shed the veneer of invincibility that makes it such a terrifying affliction. Medical practitioners, he believes, will shortly have on hand not one, but several drugs, capable of slowing - and perhaps even halting - the disease's progress. Best of all, a better understanding of the genetic and environmental risk factors will lead to earlier diagnosis, so that patients will receive treatment before their brains start to fade.
