How old is “old” ? 1.. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.
So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. 2.
Once an unknown author wrote ,“3. . Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.”
4.. Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80”
There are many wrong ideas about aging.5.. Here are some of the more common ones.For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.
A. It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.
B. Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.
C. These ideas stereotype(固化) people on the basis of age.
D. Old is a point of view.
E. Older people are stubborn, unable to change.
F. The answer has changed over the years.
G. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.
