It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we’ve got some time to kill.
I know where you think I’m going with this, and I also know you’ve heard it all before: seize the day, make the most of it, live life to its fullest, and so on. But that’s the problem. You’ve heard it all before. These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché. Luckily, that’s not my thing.
The real answers wake something up inside you. They make you think. That’s what I want to give you today, the story of Bobby Darin, which wakes you up to the truth.
If you haven’t heard of the man, I know you’ve heard his songs. Among his many hits are Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, and Splish Splash.
If seven years, Darin had several top ten hit songs, was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two), nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one), and even nominated for an Oscar.
So what was his secret?
All his life, Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness. The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited. And this was secret. He knew the truth. He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short. You can’t just say it; you can’t just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it. Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.
There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.
1.Why do we all have the habit of delaying doing things?
A. Because we think we have time to count our thumb.
B. Because we want to live our life to its fullest.
C. Because we think time and tide wait for no man.
D. Because it takes time to build castle.
2.The underlined word “cliché” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. motto
B. legend
C. often-made remark
D. long-lost verse
3.What can we know about Bobby Darin from the passage?
A. He was nominated and won the Oscar Reward.
B. He committed suicide at home at last.
C. He got involved I not only music field but directing.
D. He took a positive attitude towards his illness.
4.What is the secret to Bobby Darin’s success?
A. He knew his life expectancy was short.
B. He was too eager to become famous.
C. He was so devoted to music.
D. He was talented.

Bowhead whales (弓头鲸) can live 200 years or longer. How they do it is no longer among the secrets of the deep. Scientists have mapped the genetic code of this long-lived whale species. The international effort found unusual features in the Arctic whale’s genes. Those features likely protect the species against cancer and other problems related to old age.
“We hope to learn what is the secret for living longer, healthier lives,” says João Pedro de Magalhães. He is a gerontologist (a scientist who studies old age) at the University of Liverpool in England. He also is co-author of the study that appeared January 6 in Cell Reports. His team hopes, he says, that its new findings might one day be used “to improve human health and preserve human life.”
No other mammal is known to live as long as the bowhead. Scientists have shown that some of these whales have lived well beyond 100—including one that survived to 211. For perspective, if he were still alive, Abraham Lincoln would be turning just 206 this year. De Magalhães’ team wanted to understand how the bowhead can live so long. To study this, the experts analyzed the animal’s complete set of genetic instructions, called its genome (基因组). Those instructions are coded in the animal’s DNA. The team also compared the whale’s genome to those of people, mice and cows.
The scientists discovered differences, including mutations (突变), in the whale’s genes. Those changes are linked to cancer, aging and cell growth. The results suggest that the whales are better than humans at repairing their DNA. That’s important because damaged or flawed DNA can lead to diseases, including some cancers.
Bowheads also are better at keeping abnormally dividing cells in check. Together, the changes appear to allow bowhead whales to live longer without developing age-related diseases such as cancer, says de Magalhães.
1.What do we learn about bowhead whales?
A.Their average life is 100. B.They are the longest-lived animals.
C.They don’t have aging problems. D.They live in the Arctic Ocean.
2.Why did scientists map the genetic code of bowhead whales?
A.To discover the secret of long life.
B.To find out a cure for cancer.
C.To prevent age-related diseases.
D.To lengthen human life.
3.Why does the author mention Abraham Lincoln?
A.To remind us of the time he lived.
B.To show the long life of the bowhead.
C.To compare him with the bowhead.
D.To express people’s respect for him.
4.What allows the bowhead to live a longer and healthier life?
A.Good DNA repair system. B.Gene mutation.
C.Cell division. D.Perfect living environment.
