  Mrs. Cousins was a famous musician several years ago. She taught music at a college and some of her students succeeded in their business. They can't forget the professor and praise her when they win prizes. Now the old woman stays at home with her husband. The old man looks after his wife well and she is never worried about anything. She often receives some presents on her birthday or at Christmas and she's satisfied with all.

  In common with some old people, she finds her memory is failing. Sometimes she forgets what she did or will do. It often gets her in trouble. Her husband has noticed it and advised her to go to see a famous neurologist (神经病学家) who lives in the capital. He bought two tickets for London and told her to put them into her handbag while she was playing the piano.

  The next morning when they reached the airport in the nick of time (刚来得及)to catch their plane, Mrs. Cousins said, “I wish we'd brought the piano with us.”

  “Don't be stupid, dear!” said Mr. Cousins. “We're not going to hold a concert, but to see a doctor.”

  “I know,” she sighed and said. “I've left the tickets on it!”

  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(限制)to the human life span(寿命)?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(平均)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(有弹性的), 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(物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about.”He says with a smile.
