¡¡¡¡Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age114£®and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday£®

¡¡¡¡When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world¡¯s recordholder£®She lived to the ripe old age of 122£®So is 122 the upper limit(ÏÞÖÆ)to the human life span(ÊÙÃü)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150£­or beyond?

¡¡¡¡Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers£®¡°Calment lived£®to 122, SO it wouldn't sul33rise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,¡±says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas£®

¡¡¡¡Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees£®¡°People can live longer than we think£®¡±he says£®¡°Experts used to say that humans couldn¡¯t live past 110£®When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 1 20£®So why can¡¯t we go higher?¡±

¡¡¡¡The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it¡¯s all just guessing£®¡°Anyone can make up a number£®¡±says Rich Miller at the University, of guessing

¡¡¡¡¡¡Michigan£®¡°Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine£®¡±

¡¡¡¡Won¡¯t new anti£­aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of HS living until about 120£®Researchers are working on treatments that make the life span of mice longer by 50 percent at most£®

¡¡¡¡So, if the average(ƽ¾ù)human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,¡°adding another 50 percent would get you to 120£®¡±

¡¡¡¡So what can we learn from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(Óе¯ÐÔµÄ), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington£®¡°We can get flies to live 50 percent longer£®¡±he says£®¡°But a fly'snever going to live 150 years£®¡±Of course, if you became a new species(ÎïÖÖ), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds£®

¡¡¡¡Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(½ø»¯)their way to longer life?¡°It¡¯s pretty cool to think about£®¡±He says with a smile£®

¡¡¡¡In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones£®If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry£®

¡¡¡¡Every mobile phone has a ringtone (ÁåÉù)£®It tells you that someone is calling you£®Now, there is a ringtone called ¡°mosquitotone (ÎÃ×ÓÁåÉù)¡±£®Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (¶ÌÐÅ) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening£®How?

¡¡¡¡Mosquitotone has a special sound£®Only children and teenagers can hear it£®As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (ƵÂÊ)£®As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but it¡¯s inaudible to someone 20 or older£®

¡¡¡¡But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone£®One British student¡¯s phone uses mosquitotone£®In class, the student¡¯s phone rang£®The 32-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy£®¡°I heard that£®You know the rule£ºno mobile phone in class£®¡±

¡¡¡¡Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone£®Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, ¡°Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing£®I may use it for pleasure, but not in class£®It¡¯s unfair to the teachers£¡¡±

¡¡¡¡What do parents think of mosquitotone£¿¡°I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters, ¡± says Connie Neeson,44£®¡°Think about it£®Yon¡¯re watching a film and someone¡¯s mobile phone rings£®Mosquitotone is good because many people don¡¯t hear it£®However, it also has a bad influence on their study if students use it in class£®¡±
