In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age.

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .73.

Many people start learning a language and soon give up."I'm too9,"they say.Yes,children do learn languages more10than adults,but research has shown thatyou can learn a language at any age.And learning is good for the health of your brain,too.I've also heard people 11about the mistakes they make when learning.Well,relax andlaugh about your mistakes 12 you're much less likely to make them again.

6.It was sunrise on an August morning when the captainand his crew cast their netssome 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.As the net was pulled over,thecontents poured out followed by excited cries of"Coins!Coins!"The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream:sunken treasure!And not just any treasure,but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784,at the end of the American Revolutionary War,a heavily armed ship wasbound for the port of New Orleans.On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars.Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans,yet not a singleone arrived.With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage,historians can only guess at whathappened.Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasurehungry pirates(海盗）。Whatever happened,the secret-along with a treasure valued near＄100,000,000 in today's dollars-was sent to a watery gravesome 300 feet below theocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans.Widely used andaccepted as payment in the thirteen colonies,the United States government gave them thestatus of official legal tender.Unfortunately,even though they were struck in large quantities,not many of them survive today.After the Civil War,the government withdrew themfrom circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure,GovMint.com is releasing these coins tothe public for an amazingly low price.For a limited time,those authentic silver dollars arepriced at$49 plus shipping and handling-a dramatic reduction from the market price ofthis coin anywhere else worldwide.What do we know about"Spanish Silver Dollars"?（）

8.There were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not havebeen more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentratedtheir efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm, sea-oriented climates, and they both lived a full life.What were the Greeks famous for?

＂Wanted by the FBI."To the murderer,or the bank robber,these are the mostfrightening words in the world.When the criminal(罪犯）hears them,he knows that sixthousand trained persons are after him.

Why should he be so afraid?There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villageswhere he can hide.There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself.Besideshe's usually rich with stolen money.

Money can make it easier to hide.With money,the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize.Money can pay for a hideout some far-off place.But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as JohnDillinger,Baby Face Nelson,and Machine Gun Kelly.They had plenty of money and goodhideouts.Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.

They know every trick the criminal knows and many more.If he makes just one mistaketake,they'll get him.That's why the man who is hunted can't sleep.That's why he becomes nervous,why he jumps at every 'sound."When he makes a mistake,he'll no longerbe"wanted by the FBI".He'll have been caught.

The FBI began on May 10,1924.Attorney General Harlan F.Stone chose J.EegarHoover,a young lawyer in the Department of Justice,to head the new agency(机构）。＂What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,"he said."Criminals today are smart.They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways.They have learned to openany lock.The criminal would have discovered science.We can't beat them with old methods.We have to train officers to work scientifically."

J.EdgarHoover quietly went ahead with his plans.He picked his men carefully.They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.He wanted only men withgood manners and good character.When working ashis officers they would have to meetall kinds of people.Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun.Hechose men so carefully that he made theFBI the hardest service in the world to get into.The FBI cannot help in every police problem.It can look into only certain crimes againstthe government.Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.3.The FBI was begun in order to（）
