单选题To enjoy a longer life has been a dream for mankind since always. With the improvement of health care, nutrition and health knowledge, we began to make dramatic efforts to reduce the effects of the forces that had traditionally shortened human existence. 10 million to 17 million people aged 65 or older made up less than 1 percent of the world's population in 1900. Survival rates began to climb for infants, children and women of childbearing age, gradually lifting humanity's average life span. By 2000, 606 million were aged 60 or older, and they made up almost 10 percent of the world's population. According to the United Nations report World Population Prospects, by 2050 that group could swell to 1.9 billion and constitute one fifth of the world's projected population. But it is not all about to live a longer life. And it would not be such a good idea to live your last years in illness and pain. In fact, it would turn into a torture. No, we want to live better, more youthful days while we're living longer. Diet, exercise and a lucky draw from the gene pool can take us only so far, however. That's where science comes in. As medicine tries to find out the means to extend life, culture and its institutions will have to deal with the consequences of success. Age-entitlement programs, such as Social Security, were formed when younger workers far outnumbered retirees, who drew benefits for only a few years; what reforms will longer lives require? When savings are used up by parents who may be retired for up to one third of their lives? And, equally important, how will we make our extra years emotionally rewarding and rich? Medicine will continue to advance, and, we expect, society and policymakers will have to learn to adapt to the challenges of longevity-both providing it and providing for it-that await us all.

单选题 What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand ,you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up to a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

单选题Change is the principle--and the process--that enables us to move on and upward growth and change, of continuous improvement. To make meaningful progress, we need to consider one other aspect of change as it is used only by human our thought. In the words of Madame, "The voice of thought is so soft that it is easy to forget about it, but it is also so clear that it is impossible to misunderstand it." Just as the education of nerve is most important to the excellent athlete and education of the mind is vital to the scholar, education of the thought is vital to the truly highly effective person. Training and educating the thought, however, requires even greater concentration, more balanced discipline, more consistently honest living. It requires regular feasting on inspiring literature, thinking noble thoughts and, above all, living in harmony with its still small voice. Just as junk food and lack of exercise can ruin an athlete's condition, those things that are not decent, crude, or unhealthy can lead to an inner darkness and make us wonder "What is right and wrong?" In the words of Dag Hammarskjold, You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood without losing your right to truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds. Once we are self-aware, we must choose purposes and principles to live by; otherwise the hole will be filled, and we will lose our self-awareness and become like groveling animals that live mainly for survival. And there is no easy way in developing them. The Law of the Harvest governs; we will always reap what we sow--no more, no less. I believe that as we grow and develop, an increasingly educated thought will push us along the path of personal freedom, security, wisdom, and power. Moving upward requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do--learn, commit, and do--and learn, commit, and do again.
