Like many lovers of books,Mary and her husband,Richard Goldman,seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989,they decided it was time to get se?rious. Richard,who worked for a business company,was eager to work for himself,and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.

They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. "We knew it had to be a special store because we couldn't match the big chains dollar for dollar," says Mary. One figure caught her attention;She'd read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries,and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.

On Halloween 1992,they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafe near their home. With three children in college,the couple could not spend all the family's money to start a shop. To cover the $ 100,000 cost,they drew some of their savings,borrowed from relatives and from a bank.

The store merely broke even in its first year,with only $ 120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.

Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes,busi?ness costs and the six parttime sales clerks,Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.

According to a study,the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between―all 23 years―is your middle age.

The news that 58 is "over the hill" may come as a surprise to anyone who has passed the milestone and feels they are not yet in the twilight (薄暮) of their lives.

They include Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the glamorous (迷人的) actress Jane Seymour,who are both full of energy at 59. Kathryn Bigelow,58, has just won an Oscar for directing the actionpacked movie The Hurt LocA;er (〈〈拆弹部队〉〉) .

The finding that we regard people in their fifties as getting doddery (衰老的) ，despite the evidence that older people are living more active lives than ever,was revealed by academics from the University of Kent to a meeting of the Economic and Social Research Council,in London.

Professor Dominic Abrams,who studied data from 40 ,000 people across Europe,said： "The survey showed that age prejudice―being treated as ' too young' or ' too old' ―is per?ceived to be a serious or very serious issue by 63 percent of respondents,so it is obviously im?portant to know what these age labels mean to people."

A survey asked：when does youth end and old age begin? For the UK,the average re?sponse was that you stop being young at 35 ,and start being old at 58.

But the figures also showed that opinions differed among the age groups. Younger people,those aged 15 to 24,thought youth ended at just 28 and old age began at 54.

Not surprisingly,people in their eighties were more generous. They regarded the final year of youth as 42 ,and the onset of old age as 67.

Professor Abrams,a psychologist,added： " This evidence shows that what counts as young and old is very largely down to the age of the beholder."

( ) 1. What is the general belief of the Briton towards the age division?

A. Young ends at 35 old ends at 58.B. Young ends at 35 old begins at 58.

C. Young begins at 35 old begins at 58. D. Young begins at 35 old ends 58.

( ) 2. What is perceived to be a very serious issue among most of respondents?

A. Age prejudice. B. Age labels. C. Too young. D. Too old.

( ) 3. Which of the following is the opinion of the younger people?

A. Old age began at 58. B. Old age began at 67.

C. Old age began at 54. D. Old age began at 51.

( ) 4. What is the purpose of doing this survey?

A. To know when young begins and when old starts.

B. Really important to know what these age labels mean to people.

C. To show the same opinions among the age groups.

D. To prove that older people are living more active lives than ever.
