Many people could not forget the beautiful dance during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The dance was performed by 20 disabled girls. They can't hear or speak. But their performance is remembered by many people. The leading dancer of the dance is Tai Lihua. She is 28 years old. She is very beautiful.

Tai Lihua was born healthy. When she was two years old,she lost her hearing because of a fever. Not long after that,she became mute,too. From then on,her world was silent. But she didn't know this at first. At five years old,when she played a game about sounds with her schoolmates she discovered that she was different from the others. She was very sad about it.

Her father went to many places to look for best treatments for her illness. But nothing worked. When she was seven years old,she went to a school for deaf and mute children. In that school,she did well in her studies. Her teacher said she used her mind more than the others and was good at expressing her feeling through dance. She also began to love dance. She thought she could use dance to express what she thought about life.

When she was 15 years old,she began to learn to dance. At first,she couldn't dance well. But she didn't stop. She worked harder than the others. She also spent more time learning. Her efforts made her a very good dancer. She has been to many countries to perform and many for?eigners like her style. She now lives a happy life with her family.

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."

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

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

 When a rather dirty,poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins,do you hurry on,not knowing what to do,or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly,most of the world's great religions (宗教) order us to be openhearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suf?fered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give anything to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable,but actually make a good living from begging. Giving things to. beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) .Secondly,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer,wine or drugs. Thirdly,there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor,but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and selfdependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government and ask for help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion. There are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations,and even if the money is wasted,that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

   B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

   C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.

   D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.
