didnt want to grow up.2.She held her in her arms and explained that being eight was going to be even better than being seven.She told her daughter she loved her very much and she would have a wonderful birthday.,3.Jack Benny claimed to be forever“39 and holding”.It implies you can stay forever young.Its your attitude not your age that matters.4.She felt a little scared.5.Aging is a natural thing.You may go through some physical changes and nothing can stop it.But its not bad,and you can enjoy it.,6.According to the author,getting old is fearful but it is also accompanied with joy too.,Reading Comprehension,1.The night before her eighth birthday,I found my daughter Lizzy weeping in her bed.I love being seven,”she sobbed.I dont want to be eight!”2.I held her in my arms and explained that being 8 was going to be even better than being seven.I told her how much I loved her and what a wonderful birthday she was going to have.Eventually she was comforted,or maybe I just talked her to sleep.3.I understood her feelings.Its was always strange to imagine getting older,even when you arent very old.I know that my own intense“when I grow up yearnings throughout childhood were locked in combat with an equally intense wish that nothing would ever change.I never wanted to be a“grown-up or even an adolescent.,Translation,As time goes by Reeve Lindbergh,Reading Comprehension,4.I dont remember whether I loved being seven,but I loved being 12.Towards the end of being 12,I was afraid that Id become a different and detestable person on my 13th birthday.On that day,without my permission,I would wake up and not be a kid any more.,Translation,Para.45,5.I would be a“teenager”.Instead of climbing trees and spending my days outdoors,I would wear my hair in a ponytail,put on lipstick,and talk on the phone constantly.I would grow breasts,which looked to me like a real nuisance at that time,and have to wear a bra.Hateful seventh-grade boys would see the bra strap through my shirt and would reach out and snap it in the hallway in junior high.I had seen this happen to other girls.Worst of all,I could tell from their responses to this cruel and annoying behavior that I would lose my senses andbecome brainlessly boy-crazy.I definitely did not want to be 13.,Reading Comprehension,6.When you are a child,adults,of any age,are ancient.When I was 24 years old and teaching second grade in Readsboro,Vermont,one of my kindest students was a boy named Shawn who asked me one day whether I had any children.After I confessed that I did not,he responded with sympathy,“What happened?Did they all grow up and leave home?”In his eyes,I was trembling on the edge of collapse,with most of my life already over.7.I didnt see myself quite in that way,but I did already think I was pretty old.At 26,I felt dangerously close to 30.At 39,I was not comforted or inspired by Jack Bennys claim to be forever“39 and holding”.At 45,I wondered how Id ever arrived at such an age.(All Id asked to be was 12!)At 50,I blew out the candles with good humor because I had tobut I gulped inside.8.Now Im in my early 60s,and though I dont always recognize the face in the mirror,something has changed in the way I think.The process of aging increasingly interests and amazes me,annoys and irritates me,and sometimes still frightens me,too,but much,much less than it used to.I find that there is also amusementhow often and in how many places can I lose my glasses in a day?,Translation,Para.68,Reading Comprehension,9.I dont know what further changes I will enjoy or endure as I age,but I do know the answer to the question I asked myself at 30,at 40,and at 50:How did I get to be this old?10.I was lucky.Getting old is what I want to do.Getting old,whatever the years bring,is far better than not getting old.Or,in the words of Maya Angelou,“Mostly,what I have learned so far about aging,despite the creakiness of ones bones and cragginess of ones once-silken skin,is this:Do it.By all means,do it.”11.Everything happens in life.Some of what happens is terrible.We know this is true because its always been true.But there is another truth available,an inexplicable and sometimes crazy truth that is no less compelling.The living of a life,day by day and moment by moment,is also wild with joy.,Translation,Para.911,Reading Comprehension Translation,1.在她八岁生日的头一天晚上，我发现女儿丽兹在床上哭泣。“我喜欢七岁。”她呜咽着说。“我不想变成八岁！”2.我揽她入怀，告诉她八岁会比七岁更好，告诉她妈妈很爱她，而且她将拥有一个精彩的生日庆祝会。最终，她欣慰地睡着了，也许是我把她说得睡着了。3.我明白她的感受。想象自己年龄的增长是一件很别扭的事，即使你并不是很大。我记得自己小的时候强烈渴望长大，但又同样强烈地希望一切都维持现状，不要改变，那真是激烈的矛盾心理。儿时的我一直不想成为一个“成年人”，甚至连成为青少年都不想。,当岁月流逝,Para.13,Reading Comprehension Translation,5.我将变成一个“少年”。不能再爬树，不能再成天泡在户外，要束起马尾，涂上口红，抱着电话说个不停。我的胸部会发育变大，还要穿上内衣，这些在当时的我看来是很大的麻烦。那些讨厌的七年级男生会透过衬衫看到我的内衣带，还会在初中生的走廊里伸出手啪地拽它一下。我见过类似的事情在其他女生身上发生。最糟糕的是，我从那些女孩对这种让人痛苦又讨厌的行为的反应中知道，自己如果有一天遭遇类似事件，也会失去理智，变成没头没脑的花痴。我当时一点儿都不想长成13岁。,Para.45,4.我已不记得自己是否喜欢七岁，但我确实喜欢12岁。在我即将13岁的时候，我开始担心从13岁生日那天起，自己会变成一个性格迥异、令人生厌的人。我害怕在自己毫不知情的情况下，一醒来就不再是个孩子了。,Reading Comprehension Translation,6.在孩子的眼里，一个成年人，无论年纪多大，都是很老的。我24岁的时候在佛蒙特州的雷特斯博罗中学教二年级。班上有个非常听话的孩子叫肖恩。一天，肖恩问我有没有孩子。我承认说没有。他非常同情地问：“怎么了？是不是他们都已经长大成人离开您了？”在他看来，我应该处在崩溃边缘，因为我人生的大部分都已成为过去时。7.虽然我不这么看自己，但也确实觉得自己有些老了。26岁的时候，我觉得自己临近30，岌岌可危。39岁的时候，杰克班尼“永远39岁”的宣言已不能安慰或激励我。45岁的时候，我就琢磨自己怎么就45了呢？（我只想待在12 岁而已啊！）50岁的时候，我开心地吹灭了生日蜡烛，因为我知道自己别无选择，但是心里涌起一阵酸楚。,Para.68,8.现在，我已经60出头了。尽管我有时会认不出镜子里的自己，但我的想法已经悄然改变。渐渐变老的过程越来越让我觉得有趣、惊讶、烦恼、或是生气。尽管有时也会让我感到害怕，但是较之于从前，害怕的程度已大大减弱。我甚至还发现了其中的一些小乐趣：我一天之内丢了多少次眼镜？丢在了哪些地方?,Reading Comprehension Translation,9.不知道随着自己慢慢老去，我还会享受或者承受什么样的变化，但我确实找到了一个问题的答案，那个我30岁、40岁、50岁的时候都问过自己的问题：我怎么老成这样了？10.我是幸运的。变老正合我意，无论岁月带来了什么，变老都比不变老要好。或者，用玛雅安吉拉的话说，“除了日渐疏松的骨头和不再光滑的皮肤，岁月教会我的就是：要生活要变老，不论怎样，我们要这么做。”11.世事无常，生活中有些事情糟糕透顶。我们知道这是事实，因为事实就是事实。但还有一个事实，无法解释、略显疯狂，但同样不容忽视，那就是：一刻一刻，一天一天，一年一年，生活中也总有巨大的快乐相伴。,Para.911,Reading
