ld at 35. That was the average life expectancy then. At the turn of the 19th century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life expectancy 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 simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you' ve lived.

"Youth", wrote an unknown author, "is not a time of life--it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by deserting (抛弃) their ideals."

Old is a point of view. Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City Commission for the Aging, said, "It annoys 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."

It is often believed that most older people are in poor health. But the fact is that there are neither biological nor physiological (生理学的) reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It's possible to remain physically fit throughout your life.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？

A．The concept of "old" is differently defined in different times.

B．Nobody can remain physically healthy throughout the life.

C．The progress in medical knowledge has contributed a lot lo longer lives of us.

D．Older people may get ill and physically disabled more easily than younger ones.

M: What's the trouble this time？

W: Oh, it's stupid really. It started with that barbecue weeks ago. They wouldn't even let me go to that!

M: Why not？

W: Don't know. It's just their way. They mean well, I suppose, but they won't let me do anything by myself.

M: What about your brother？

W: Oh, they let him do anything he wants to.

M: Doesn't sound fair. Hmm, but they let you choose your own job.

W: Big deal! But they make me hand over all my money at the end of every week. I get pocket money.

M: Seems a bit tough.

W: Oh, that's not the only thing. Even at the weekends they make me go everywhere with them. They won't let me go anywhere with my friends.

M: Do they want you to be an old maid？ Are they scared you might meet someone nice and get married？

W: No. They want me to marry the son of a friend of theirs. I don't want to.

M: Oh! So that's the real trouble, is it？

W: Yeah, I'm really scared my father will make me marry this guy.

M: Look, don't be stupid. That's one thing no one can make you do.

W: Well, for my sake, I hope you're right.

What is the conversation mainly about？

A．Looking for a suitable flat lo rent.

B．Problems the woman has with her family.

C．How the woman's parents intervene in her marriage.

SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： We all scream for water when thirsty. (15[A]) But do you know in very hot, dry weather plants also make faint sounds— as if they're crying out for help？

You see, in a plant's stem there're hundreds of "water pipes" that bring water and minerals from the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns dry, it becomes harder and harder for the plants to do this.

In severe droughts, plants have to fight to pull out any water available. Scientist Robert Winter has found out that when it is really bad their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. When that happens, the whole plant vibrates a little. The snapping pipes make noises 10,000 times quieter than a whisper.

Robert knows that healthy, well-watered plants are quiet. (16[D]) He also knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants and which are not？ Robert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry. And then they may buzz in to kill.

To test his theory, Robert is using a device that can imitate plant cries. He attaches it to a quiet, healthy plant so the plant sounds thirsty. Then he watches insects lo see if they attack more often than usual.

If he is right, scientists could use the insects' ability against them. (17[D]) They could build traps that imitate crying plants. So when the insects buzz in to eat, they won't buzz out.

What do plants do when they are thirsty？

A．They give out faint cries.

B．They make noises to drive away insects.

C．They extend their water pipes.

D．They become elastic like rubber bands.
