单选题 A lot of people don't want to talk about their age,
especially(尤其是) women over 30. The thought of growing older is a painful(痛苦的)
one and most of us, if possible, would like to have nothing to do with it.
However, getting older is a thing that happens to all of us. As a result, many
people work hard to keep young. So the last thing they want is for someone to
ask the question, "How old are you?" People may answer this
question like: "How old do you think I am? 30 something. I'm in my
thirties. Let's just leave it at that. " "I can't remember. " "Oh, don't ask me
that. " "A lot older than what I would like to be. " However,
if you really want to know someone's age, this is how you could fend out the
answer. First you estimate(估计) their age. Then you subtract(减去) ten years from
that estimation. Certainly you will get a big smile from that person who will
also say, "Wow. You are my best friend. I'm 38 already. Can you believe it?"
You, of course, say, "No. I really can't. You're joking. You don't look a day
over 28. "
