I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite 45 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world 46 you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as 47 you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to 48 . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at 49 tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
Please tell the story to your family. It would be a good start to 50 the lady’s example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village. Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.。
My wife said to me,quietly , “ That’s his ninth cup of tea today . ” But she said loudly, “It’s a beautiful table,dear,isn’t it?”
“I won’t decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.
Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said:
BILL One dining table June 10 , 1995Cost of wood 17.00Paint(油漆)1.50Work,8 hours(1 an hour) 8.00Total(总计)36.50
When I was looking at the bill , Henry said , “it’s been a fine day,hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”
“Yes , ” I said. “I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.”
“Me too,” , said Henry. “You wait一it’ll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
“Yes. Hotter一and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th , won’t they , Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.

To err is human. To blame(责备) the other guy is even more human.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity(成熟).
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
1.Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A.A secretary works to a timetable. |
B.A company’s next move follows a good plan. |
C.A girl goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather. |
D.A man tries to manage everything in a large company. |
2.What can we infer from the last paragraph according to the writer?
A.A good excuse is the same as honesty. |
B.Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas. |
C.Unpleasant truth is better than a good excuse. |
D.Making a good excuse is sometimes a better idea. |
3.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.A Mirror of Human Nature |
B.To Blame or to Forgive |
C.A Mark of Maturity |
D.Truth or Excuse |
