At age 90, I finally realized that I qualify as “elderly”. Hwever, I dn’t ever want that label f “senir citizen”. Hw I lk and feel is nly part f facing reality. The big factr is hw ther peple treat me. This hit me rather dramatically as I was exiting a building the ther day. As I started fr the dr, a yung wman stepped ahead f me. Then she pened and held the dr fr me.
I expected an active retirement, but my bdy had ther plans. I’m learning t embrace it. This kind f thing is beginning t happen all the time. At the hardware stre, I bught a few minr items—light bulbs and birdseed weighing perhaps a ttal f 10 punds. As I started t pick up the bag, the cashier said, “Sir, let me get smene t help yu with that.”
Fr a few weeks, all f these made me sad. I am a man f a certain generatin after all: frmer Air Frce fficer and jet fighter pilt, frmer crprate executive, authr, frmer speaker and cnsultant, and s n. But I’m t ld fr anyne t hire me even if I wanted them t. It can be depressing. It didn’t help a lt t realize that I’ve had a great life. But as I thught abut that, trying my best t cunt my blessings, it began t sund like an bituary (补告).
It has taken several weeks t realize that respect and learn frm the past, but dn’t let yurself be held prisner by yur memries; and always lk t the future with ptimism but live in the present, treasuring every single minute f every single day, even the nes that yur yunger self wuld have cmplained abut.
Finally, when all thse yunger flks ffer t help, let g f the chagrin, realize that it makes ther peple feel gd t help and just say, “Thank yu.” I think they, whever they are, refer t that as aging gracefully.
24．What made the authr realize he was elderly?

A．He is lst in his past success.B．He has an idea fr his bituary.
C．He has a psitive utlk n life.D．He is suffering memry lss.
27．What des the underlined wrd “chagrin” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A．Past.B．Fear.C．Cnfidence.D．Annyance.

Instant ndles are a favrite quick meal when peple dn’t want t ck. Picture eating them while watching TV n a strmy night — pure cmfrt! But many believe they’re just junk fd that harms health. The truth is, whether they’re unhealthy depends entirely n hw yu prepare them.
The main issue isn’t the ndles themselves, but the cmmn way peple make them: puring biling water ver dried ndles and adding all the salty seasning packets. These flavr packets cntain high levels f salt and artificial additives (人工添加剂), making this versin unbalanced and unhealthy.
Actually, plain instant ndles aren’t terrible. They’re fried during prductin (which adds sme il and calries), but they fill yu up well and prvide quick energy when yu’re hungry. T make them healthier, ck them prperly: bil the ndles first, drain excess starchy (含有淀粉的) water, then use fresh water r brth (肉汤). Crucially, use nly half the seasning packet t reduce salt. Add vegetables like spinach r carrts and prtein like an egg r tfu while cking. This bsts vitamins and prtein while cutting sdium (钠). This transfrms them int a balanced meal!
S, are instant ndles junk fd? If prepared lazily with all the seasning and n extras, yes. But when cked with less seasning plus veggies and prtein, they becme a decent ccasinal meal. Remember: the secret is variety. Enjy them nce r twice a week as part f a diverse diet, and they wn’t harm yur health. They’re far less scary than peple think — just upgrade yur cking methd!
28. What determines if instant ndles are unhealthy?
A. Their quick cking time.B. The time f eating.
C. The preparatin methd.D. The junk fd label.
29. What is the majr cause f unhealthy instant ndles?
A. The dried ndles.B. The flavr packets.
C. Using biling water.D. Peple aviding cking.
30. What is the main purpse f the third paragraph?
A. Warn abut health dangers.B. Give cking instructins.
C. Argue ndles are harmless.D. List harmful additives.
31. What is the suitable title fr the passage?
A. Instant Ndles: Nt All Waste.B. Instant Ndles: Hw t Ck?
C. Instant Ndles: Eat Smetimes.D. Instant Ndles: What we knw?
D
Last year I averaged 9,370 steps a day. My smartphne cunted. My daily aim? Ten thusand steps. Because gals.
Yet the cncept f taking 10,000 steps a day t maintain health is rted nt in science but in marketing. In the 1960s, a Japanese cmpany invented an early pedmeter (计步器). Because the Japanese character fr “10,000” lks like a persn walking, the cmpany called its device the 10,000-step meter. “It was just srt f a catchy phrase,” says I-Min Lee, a scientist at Harvard Medical Schl.
In 2019, Lee published a study investigating the actual effects f meeting the 10,000-step gal. The result? Sme mvement is gd, and mre is better, but the benefits decline at sme pint. Yur persnal peak depends n yur age. Peple yunger than 60 shuld indeed walk 8,000 t 10,000 steps a day t get the best benefits in terms f lifespan (寿命). Peple lder than 60 shw the mst benefit between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.
The difference is energy cnsumptin. “We basically relate energy cnsumptin t health utcmes,” Lee says. Walking fr 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hur and running fr 30 minutes at 6 miles an hur use the same amunt f energy. “The lder yu are, the less efficient yu are with yur steps,” Lee says. “Per step, lder peple use mre energy.” Thus, they need fewer steps t achieve the same benefits.
Newer studies are mving beynd death rates t ask questins abut the way steps may help t cntrl bld pressure and weight. The gal, after all, is nt just t live lnger but t live healthier. Full results are nt in yet, s Lee’s advice is: “Tailr yur steps accrding t what yu are trying t achieve and accrding t wh yu are.”
32. The cncept f taking 10,000 steps daily arises frm ______.
A. the findings f scientific surveysB. the frmatin f a Japanese character
C. a marketing trickD. a healthy habit
33. What des Lee’s research find?
A. Walking step targets vary with age.B. Walking mre makes ne lk yunger.
C. Old peple benefit mre frm walking lnger.D. Reaching 10,000 steps daily appeals t many.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The difference in energy cnsumptin amng age grups.
B. The cntrast between the benefits f walking and running.
C. The reasn fr setting different step gals based n age.
D. The link between energy cnsumptin and health utcmes.
35. What will newer studies fcus n?
A. Hw steps change ne’s lifestyle.B. Hw steps affect ne’s lifespan.
C. Hw steps reduce death rates.D. Hw steps bst healthy living.
