Lesson 37-2 The process of ageing 衰老过程

It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline

in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and diseases we shall eventually ‘die of

old age’, and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so

that there are heavy odds in favour of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and

eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth

decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how long we can

hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.

Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.

任务配置:L0+L1+L4
