But the casual Prime Mini

15、ster Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties Maybe. Last week, the UKs Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servant

16、s would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士) without ties, which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.For some

17、 more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear

18、a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost every social occasion.But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a band. The term could mean anything around a mans neck.

19、 It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰) impressed Charles II, the king of England who was exiled (流放) to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660, he brought this new fashion item along with him.It was

20、nt, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then, clubs, military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearers membership in the late 19th century

21、. After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.Who brought the Frenchmens neckwear to BritainATony Blair.

23、 at the same time seem to be getting younger.Instead of measuring aging by how long people have lived, the scientists have factored in how many more years people can probably still look forward to.Using that measure, the average person can get younger in the sense that he or she can have even more y

24、ears to live as time goes on, said Warren Sanderson of the University of New York in Stony Brook.He and Sergei Scherbov of the Vienna Institute of Demography at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, have used their method to estimate how the proportion of elderly people in Germany, Japan and the United

25、States will change in the future.The average German was 39.9 years old in 2000 and could plan to live for another 39.2 years, according to research reported in the journal Nature on Wednesday.However, by 2050 the average German will be 51.9 years old and will be expected to live another 37.1 years.

26、So middle age in 2050 would occur at around 52 years instead of 40 years as in 2000.As people have more and more years to live they have to save more and plan more and they effectively are behaving as if they were younger, said Sanderson.Five years ago, the average American was 35.3 years old and co

27、uld plan for 43.5 more years of life. By 2050, the researchers estimate it will increase to 41.7 years and 45.8 future years.A lot of our skills, our education， our savings and the way we deal with our health care depend a great deal on how many years we have to live, said Sanderson.This dimension o

28、f how many years we have to live has been completely ignored in the discussion of aging so far.By 2002, the average American will live toAthe age of 41.7.Bthe age of 45.8.Cthe age of 78.8.Dthe age of 87.5. 5.第一篇Happy Therapy (诊疗)Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often trave

He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to cure his problems and he might never get over the illness. Mr. Cousins,

31、 however, refused to give up hope.Mr. Cousins thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the ho

32、spital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue hi

33、s experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.
