Those who stand still, die, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases. He knows from experien

29、ce what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away, he said. When asked about h

30、is age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others. Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness

31、 and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureateMontalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. A

32、nother master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of ar

33、chitecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recently.He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊 ) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲 ) in the clinic. Another man

34、who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He also plans to keep performing. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come

35、and pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through impe

36、rfection. In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. Shes convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. 56. From the first two

37、paragraphs, we can see _. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mother s help C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior 57. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?

A. wants to sit or lie in comfort B. is waiting for people to pick him up C. is willing to work till he dies

39、D. prefers to give performance at home B Can people change their skin color without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin color. The gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found i

40、n 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science. Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebra fish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素 ) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebra fish skin colo

41、r is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑 色 素 ). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin color. It appears that, like the golden zebra fish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异 ) in the gene for melanosome production. This results

42、 in less pigmented skin. However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebra fish genes. Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun( 太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin canc

43、er. But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng. Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of s

44、ome other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng. The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin color without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson. 59. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. people

45、can not change their skin color without any pain B. the new discovery could lead to search into ways to change skin color safely C. pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin color as he liked D. scientists have found out that people s skin color is determined by the gene60. It can be inferred

46、from the passage that _. A. nowadays people who want to change their skin color have to suffer a lot from the damage caused by the chemical treatment B. Europeans and Africans have the same gene C. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancer D. there are two kinds of gene

47、s 61. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to _. A. find the different genes of humansB. prove the humans skin color is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans skin color is dark D. find out the ways of changing people s skin color精选学

A. they are born light-skinned people B. light-skinned Europeans have mutation in the gene for melanosome production C. they have fewer activities outside D. they pay much

49、attention to protecting their skin C When I was a child I never said, When I grow up, I want to be a CEO, but here I amWhen I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isnt a straight, clearlyclarified pathIn fact, no two paths are the sameBut whether you want to be a boss one day

50、or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people inthat position share the qualities of commitment, work ethic（守则） and a strong desire for building something newAnd every CEO t
