How long can human beings live? Most scientists who study old age think that the human body is
21
to live no longer than 120 years. However, 110 years is probably the longest that anyone could hope to live —— if he or she is
22
healthy and lucky. Some scientists even say we can live as long as 130 years! Yet, our cells simply cannot continue to reproduce

. They wear out, and as a result, we get old and

die.

life than ever before. In 1900, the average American life span (寿命) was only 47 years, but today it is 75 years!
When does old age begin then? Sixty-five may be out-of-date as the
26
line between middle age and old age. After all, many older people don’t begin to experience physical and mental
27
until after age 75.
People are living longer because more people
28
childhood. Before modern medicine changed the laws of nature, many children died of common childhood
29
. Now that the chances of dying
30
are much lower, the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care.

31
in our population will have lasting effects on our social development and our way of life. Some people fear such changes will be for the worse, while some see
32
, not disaster, many men and women in their “golden years” are healthy, still active, and young in
33
if not in age.
As the society grows old, we need the
34
of our older citizens. With long lives ahead of them, they need to

Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”
Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.
“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”
“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem.” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.
Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.
“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”
“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.
