Fr centuries, explrers have searched fr the funtain f yuth. Surprisingly, the secret t staying yung might have been within us all alng. Amr, a scientist, and clleagues have discvered that T cells can be reprgrammed t fight aging, s t speak.

"T cells have the ability t develp memry and exist in yur bdy fr really lng perids. which is very different frm a chemical drug," Amr explained.
Amr's lab is nw investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live nt nly healthier but als lnger. If s, sciety will be ne step clser t the funtain f yuth.
32. What discvery have scientists made abut T cells and aging?
A . T cells cause aging. B . Aging is caused by genetic changes. C . Senescent cells are T cells. D . T cells can fight aging.
33. What des the underlined wrd "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean?
A . Sustain. B . Remve. C . Cue. D . Plish.
34. Which effect f CAR T cells n yung mice des the text emphasize?
A . Shrt-term activity increase. B . Immediate weight reductin. C . Lifelng health enhancement. D . Temprary metablic imprvement.
35. What is Amr's attitude t the future f emplying CAR T cells?
A . Optimistic. B . Dubtful. C . Critical. D . Unclear.
