Russell1.In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time

19、 of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be, to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather, it is true, was cut off in the flower of his youth at the age of six

20、ty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p1-2-textOf remoter ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off.

21、A great-grandmother of mine, who was a friend of Gibbon, lived to the age of ninety-two, and to her last day remained a terror to all her descendants. My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, one who died in infancy, and many miscarriages, as soon as she became a widow devot

22、ed herself to womens higher education. She was one of the founders of Girton College, and worked hard at opening the medical profession to women.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p1-3-textShe used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very

23、 sad. She inquired the cause of his melancholy and he said that he had just parted from his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a dismal existence!” “Madre snaturale,” he replied. B

24、ut speaking as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science.

25、 do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number

26、 of years you have already lived, still less of the probable brevity of your future.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p2-text2.As regards health, I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I c

27、annot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p3-text3.Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age

28、. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. Ones thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; ones own pas

29、t is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that ones emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and ones mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子

30、教案DR-p4-text4.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigour from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to

31、them, unless they are unusually callous. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them, but ones interest should be contemplative and, if possible, philanthropic, but not unduly emotional. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves, but hum

32、an beings, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p5-1-text5.I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities. It is in this sphere that long expe

33、rience is really fruitful, and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive. It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you a

34、re one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p5-2-textIn that case you must realise that while you can still rende

35、r them material services, such as giving them an allowance or knitting them jumpers, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR-p6-1-text6.Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. In the young there is a justifica

36、tion for this feeling. Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was

37、in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it so at least it seems to me is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow mor

39、e quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vital

40、ity, weariness increases, the thought of rest will not be unwelcome. I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do, and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.Detailed ReadingDetailed Reading综合教程综合教程6(6(第第2 2版版) )电子教案电子教案DR:p
