"I'm seventy years old," says the gray-haired lady proudly to the entertainer at her Community Club dinner.
"Did you hear that, everyone?" says the entertainer. "This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn't look a day over fifty. "
He has been careful not to use the word "old". In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Americans prefer not to say "old" people. They use the expression "senior citizens". They do not talk about "old people's" homes, but "retirement" homes.
In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the
This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the elderly people's medical bills that have gone up very much. Some old people have to leave hospital "sicker and quicker" than they should, before they are really better.
More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of them refuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age.
There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup（化妝品）. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It's worth any money to look younger.

A．the old age is seen as something that isn't admired
B．it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly people
C．the standard of getting old has changed
D．the change in the age has caused a healthy problem

C．People use polite expressions when talking about old age.
D．The old patients' time in hospital is strictly limited.

A．Medical costs are rising.
B．The family becomes smaller.

Imagine going to your doctor with frequent headaches. Your doctor takes a prescription pad (藥方) and writes a word on it. The word isn't “aspirin”, it's “Mozart”.
The 1 isn't so farfetched (不可信的). Many kinds of music can stir (激發(fā)) the imagination and produce strong 2 . Scientists have found Mo zart's music to be remarkable in its ability to calm its 3 .
Many amazing cases have been known using Mozart as a 4 aid. For example, a 5 newly-born baby named Krissy, who weighed just 1.5 pounds at birth, was on total life support. Doctor thought she had 6 chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thinks it saved her 7 life. Kissy lived, but she was very small for her age and slower than the 8 child. At the age of four, she showed an interest in 9 and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their astonishment, Krissy was 10 to play musical piece from memory that were far 11 the ability of an average four-year-old. Playing music helped her improve in all areas of her life.
And there are other 12 . Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more quickly when they listen to Mozart. Even animals 13 to Mozart. In France, cows listening to Mozart give more 14 .
Why Mozart, 15 Bach or the Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more 16 . It isn't too fast or too slow; it's just right. Don Campbell, 17 wrote a book called The Mozart effect, says, “It's like 18 . A hot spicy meal will affect you differently than a sweet dessert. And 19 you might love these foods, they aren't good for you to eat every day. You need simple nutritious (營養(yǎng)的) food on a steady basis. That's the way Mozart is. It's like a nutritionally balanced meal that 20 good to your body.”
