• 3．At the age of twelve years，the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength，and its owner his or her full intelligence；but at this age the likelihood of death is least.Earlier，we were infants and young children，and consequently more vulnerable （易受傷害的），later，we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which，though unnoticeable at first，will finally become so steep that we can live no longer，however well we look after ourselves，and however well society，and our doctors，look after us.
     This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing.It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way，that if we escape wars，accidents and disease we shall eventually "die of old age"，and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person，so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty.Some of us will die sooner，a few will live longer-on into a ninth or tenth decade.But the chances are against it，and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and robust we are.
     Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.We are so familiar with the fact that ma ages，that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time，of becoming more likely to die the older we get，was something self-evident，like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that all animals，and probably other organisms such as trees，or even the universe itself，must in the nature of things "wear out".
     Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do，if given the chance to live long enough；and mechanical systems like a wound watch，or the sun，do in fact run out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics （whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present）.But these are not analogous （類似的）to what happens when man ages.A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.An old watch，by contrast，becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending.But a watch could never repair itself -it does not consist of living parts，only of metal，which wears away by friction.We could，at one time，repair ourselves-well enough，at least，to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power，an illness which at twelve would knock us over，at eighty can knock us out，and into our grave.If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve，it would take about 700 years for half of us to die，and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT？

  
  A．Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.
  B．People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.
  C．Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.
  D．People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.
  （2）The word "it" in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to

  .
  A．remaining alive until 65
  B．remaining alive after 80
  C．dying before 65 or after 80
  D．dying between 65 and 80
  （3）What is ageing？

  
  A．It is usually a phenomenon of dying at an old age.
  B．It is a fact that people cannot live any longer.
  C．It is a gradual loss of vigor and resistance.
  D．It is a phase when people are easily attacked by illness.
  （4）What do the examples of watch show？

  
  A．Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.
  B．All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.
  C．The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.
  D．Human's ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.

      I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice ward，where I worked as a volunteer. Her husband，Bill， stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney（輪床）to the hospital bed. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer， she was cheerful and always smiled. We got her settled in and then asked if she needed anything.
      "Oh， yes，" she said，"would you please show me how to use the TV？I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening." Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas， romance novels and movies with a good love story. As we became acquainted， she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman."
      "Oh， I know Bill loves me，" she said，"but he has never been one to say he loves me，or send cards to me." She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard. "I'd give anything if he'd say 'I love you，' but it's just not in his nature."
      Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning，he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Later， when she began sleeping more， he paced up and down the hallway outside her room. Soon， when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments，I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.
      He talked about having worked as a carpenter. He and Connie had no children，but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling， until Connie got sick. Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.
      One day， over coffee in the cafeteria，I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives； how we love to get sentimental（柔情蜜意） cards and love letters.
      "Do you tell Connie you love her？" I asked（knowing his answer），and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
      "I don't have to，" he said. "She knows I do!"
      "I'm sure she knows，" I said， reaching over and touching his hands rough，"but she needs to hear it，Bill."
      We walked back to Connie's room. Later，I saw Bill sitting by the bed. He was holding Connie's hand as she slept. The date was February 12.
      Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon. There stood Bill，leaning up against the wall in the hallway， staring at the floor. I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 A.M..
