Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “ I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate.”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “ It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. “ At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

A. they believe that there is no limit of living
B. they are sure to find the truth about long living
C. they have got some ideas about living forever

74. Donald Louria’s attitude toward long living is that_____.
A. people can live from 120 to 180
B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C. the human body is designed to last about 120 years
D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
75. The underlined “ it” (Para. 4) refers to_____.
A. a great push
B. the idea of living beyond the present life span
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300
D. the conservative estimate

Main Holiday Islands
Channel Islands
The two main islands, Jersey and Quernsey, are remarkable in that they present a combination of enjoyment and peace and quiet. Neither island is very big（only ten miles long）and so all parts of these coasts are easily reached from the main centres―St Helier and St Peter Port. In both these towns, and particularly in Jersey’s St Helier, are concentrated（集中）the amusements of really big resorts（休养胜地）. The nearness of France gives a continental atmosphere; the weather is far better than that in England. The other three islands, Jethou, Herm, and Sark, are small and quiet.
Isles of Scilly
The islands are really small and quiet; the weather is warm but windy. The islands are excellent for those who enjoy exploring small inlets（水湾）, creeks and bays on foot, or even better, in a boat.
Isle of Wight
The island is 24 miles across and therefore quite large. The scenery is good and varied. The resorts are neither overlarge nor showy, the crowds seeming content with entertaining but quieter holidays.
The island has the best sunshine record in Britain.
Isle of Man
An island with a unique atmosphere―in some indefinable（难以描述的）way it is different from England, Scotland or Wales. Thirty miles long, with good roads and good public transport, the mountains, hills and glens（幽谷）are easily reached. Douglas is a major British resort and other resorts are lively.
