Receiving is Giving

I learned about giving in a gentle, caring way. Because my mother was a skilled seamstress(女裁缝),I was a  36 child. It might have been something related to “the joy of giving” that make me  37 several of my most fashionable dresses to a less  38 little girl, who lived with disabled parents.

  After thanking me gratefully, the little girl 39 me her only party dress. Puzzled, I tried to 40 , but my mother guided me. She thanked the girl and told her how happy I would be 41 the dress. Then I came to know that my greatest gift to the girl was 42 of the gift she offered me.

  Many years later, I stood by 43 as my small rabbit Ashley lay dying. Suddenly she 44 a scratch(抓痕)on the shoulder of her friend Lillian. With a last burst of  45 ,she raised her head and began to  46 Lillian’s cut. With more strength than she had 47 in several weeks, she struggled to make Lillian feel 48 . Lillian’s last gift to her dying friend was to 49 . Actually, Lillian just sat there to accept Ashley’s  50 and gentle cleaning quietly.

    51 then, I have witnessed the same phenomenon several times. Dying rabbits take care of the wounded rabbits, who give by allowing 52 to be cared for. I’m just  53 to see animals show such pride, self-respect, and a sense of when to give and 54  to receive.

  Do you want to live another 100 years or more?Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last ten 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 ________ and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”

  At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jesery 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 past 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.”
