At the end of the bar, talking on the telephone, was a tall man with a white beard,handsome and imposing.
“It’s Hemingway all right,” I said.
“Why don’t you ask him to have a drink with us？” she said, knowing I wouldn’t dare. What matter if the barman at the Ritz threw me out？ My life was over anyway. “I’ll ask him,” I said.
“No, no, don’t ,” she said. “I was just kidding.”
“I wasn’t,” I said, squaring my shoulders and striding to the bar. Hemingway had just ended his phone call.
“Mr. Hemingway,” I said, “the young lady at the far table and I would like you to join us for a drink, if you have time.”
He looked at me, then across the room at her. Whether it was because I was so obviously on the spot or because she was so pretty-she really did look like a cross between Gene Tierney and Audrey Hepburn, as people often remarked-he said, “I’ve got another phone call to make, and then I’ll join you.”
When I returned to the table, my girl friend asked: “What’d he say？ What’d he say？”
“He said he’d join us for a drink. Maybe he was just kidding.”
A few minutes later, with both of us studiously not looking toward the end of the bar,a shadow loomed over the table and Hemingway sat down. We ordered another round of Bloody Marys.
Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for the bullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when his small plane had crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked me what kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2-a big engine for a small chassis (汽车底盘) -he remarked, “Get us the manifold pressure in one of those and you can really roll.”
We chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watch and said: “I’d like to stay longer, but I’ve got a dinner date. Nice talking to you.”
My girl friend took my hand and smiled warmly at me for the first time in weeks.“You’ve got nerve,” she said. I signaled for the check. “Monsieur Hemingway a paye,” the waiter said. Mr. Hemingway had paid for the drinks.

Biologists today don’t expect that anyone will find a magical fountain of youth.Growing older is a natural part of the life cycle that can’t be reversed.As human beings grow older, organs such as the heart and lungs may stop functioning properly.Sight and hearing may become weak.And the human body becomes more likely to come down with serious illnesses from which it cannot recover.
Considered together, changes that bring about the decline of an organism are called aging.Because of aging, many biologists believe that there may be a maximum age limit to which even the healthiest organisms can live.For human beings, this maximum age limit is about 110 years.
Perhaps the most important thing that you can learn from your study of human biology is that you have a lot of control over the aging process in your own life.In fact, within our control are many physical and mental factors that have much to do with aging.For example, each of us, as recent research indicates, can do many things to help prevent heart and vessel disease, which causes half the death each year in the United States.We can avoid eating a lot of fatty meat.Eating too much of these types of animal fats can lead to the clogging and hardening of blood vessels.We can cut back on smoking and hopefully quit entirely.We can limit the amount of alcohol we drink and the amount of sugar we eat.We can exercise regularly and strengthen the heart and other organs.And we can remember to take time out each day for ourselves, time just relax.Exercise, recreation and relaxation all reduce stress – inner tension that is hard on all body organs.
One final thing we can do is to try to keep aware of advances made in health education.Information is often available free of charge from health clinics or schools.
1.Which of the following is the leading cause of death in the United States？
A.Heart disease.
B.Cancer
C.Alcohol
D.Smoking
2.What happens as people grow older？
A.They dream of a magic pill to help them live a happy and long life
B.They come down with serious illnesses
C.Their organs become weak and may stop working properly
D.Their blood vessels become clogged
3.In the opinion of biologists, _________.
A.the aging process can be reversed
B.the aging process can be controlled and slowed down
C.the aging process can be got rid of
D.the aging process can go beyond its limit
4.We can slow down the weakening of all our body organs by ______.
A.not eating animal fat
B.limiting drinking and smoking
C.exercise, recreation and relaxation to reduce stress
D.preventing the clogging and hardening of blood vessels
5.Besides physical and mental factors, which of the following also contributes to living a long and healthy life according tot the passage？
A.Health education
B.Traditional medicine
C.artificial organs
D.The invention of magic pills

When I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 2008, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often spoke at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we saw around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still had his American sense of values.
Two years later, I returned to China. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that he can now enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in China. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!
(1) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？（）
A、Steve and Jim were more alike in character.

(3) What is the author’s opinion of Steve？（）
A、Steve was a very hardworking fellow.
B、Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.
C、Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.
D、Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.
(4) What does the last sentence of the first paragraph imply？（）
A、Steve didn’t like offering help to others.
B、American people only eat their own food.
C、Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.
