Scientists say they have found key clues（线索）into how long we will live. One of them is a firm __21___. British researchers believe a firm strong handshake is not just a __22___ of confidence but also an indicator of a long life. Lead author Dr Rachel Cooper of University College London said her study looked __23___ 33 different reports on the __24___ of handshakes. The research involved more than 50,000 men and women and __25___ 40 years. Dr Cooper concluded that __26___ with weaker handshakes were 70 per cent more likely to die earlier than those with the __27___ handshakes. She concludes that people with a firm strong handshake __28___ from a happy childhood that __29___ a healthy diet and __30___ of exercise.
The new study, __31___ in the British Medical Journal, also found other signs of living a longer life. These 'measures of __32___ capability' include walking at a faster pace, getting out of a chair quickly, and being able to __33___ on one leg. The study showed that slow walkers were almost three times __34___ to die at a younger age than those who walked quickly and actively. Those who __35___ to get up from their armchairs were twice as likely to die earlier than those who sprang __36___ their chairs. Dr Cooper believes there __37___ more research into the link __38___ physical capability and a long life. “Research that helps people to __39___ a long and healthy life is ever more important to help provide for an ageing __40___.” she said.

I used to live selfishly, I should admit. But one moment changed me.

I was on my lunch break and had1the office to get something to eat . On the way, I2a busker(街头艺人)，with a hat in front of him. I had some3in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would4use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol. He5like that type-young and ragged.6what was I going to spend the money on? Only to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then7I had no right to place myself above8just because he was busking.

I9and dropped all the coins into his10, and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As11as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment-a feeling of12or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened13, I walked off. "It proved to be a waste of14,"I thought.

On my way home at the end of the15, I saw the busker again and he was16. I watched him pick up the hat and walk17a cafe counter. There he poured the18contents into a tin collecting19an earthquake fund-raising(募捐) event. He was busking for charity(慈善)！

Now I donate any20I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the   36   celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not   37   much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw   38   houses in the streets and the very big   39   lorries(卡车) passing through. But both at home and at school I had become   40   to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,   41   had been better, though I was too young to understand why,   42   there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 43   heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 44   to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now 45   V-Day(victory day) was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting   46 and building an enormous bonfire(篝火). We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and   47   myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
It was May and still broad   48 when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to   49   the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very   50 , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to   51   “Hitler” with the moustache(胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames   52   soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.
I stood beside my father until the   53   started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had   54   in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the   55   one.”
