Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities, according to research from Age UK. 71 per cent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language, taking to the dance floor, or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee mping and mountain climbing.
The new survey looks at attitudes towards later life in people aged 18 and above and has been conducted to mark the start of a new TV advertising campaign. With the positive attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyles as interesting (38 per cent), varied (42 per cent) fun (20 per cent) and satisfying (24 per cent), it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop.
It features people doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and all that it can offer. This is in sharp contrast to some younger people’s ideas of old age as boring and slower-paced. Among those featured are a Tai Chi group, dancers, a 91-year-old bodybuilder, and an 81-year-old singing leading lady. Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK. The advertisement aims to show the different services and products that Age UK offers and how it can help people to make the most of later life.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK said, “Through our research and the exciting new TV advertisement, we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies. One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age, and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try.”
1. How many people aged 60 and above describe their lifestyles as varied according to the research
A. 38 per cent. B. 42 per cent. C. 20 per cent. D. 24 per cent
2. What can be learnt from Paragraph 3
A. Many old people lead a positive life.
B. Age UK has organised a Tai Chi group.
C. Old age is not boring, but a little slow-paced.
D. Age UK offers products to old people for free.
3. Where is the passage most probably taken from
A. A life magazine.

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor cars 1 a hundred miles in more than an hour，aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 2 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of 3 precious seconds in handling tasks.
All these save time, but at a cost. When we lose or 4 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane，our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag（时差）.Our bodies feel that they have been 5 behind in another time zone. Again，spending too long at 6 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers：too much use may transmit harmful 7 into our brains.
However，how do we 8 the time we have saved？Certainly not relax，or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find 9 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 10 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 11 to a story on the radio，letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation（耕作）of the 12 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a 13 of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 14 . Modern machines have 15 people from that primitive existence.
1. A. explore B. get C. cover D. fly

7. A. prevention B. radiation C. combination D. damage
8. A. control B. handle C. do D. deal
9. A. uncomfortable B. easy C. difficult D. good
10. A. second B. day C. year D. time
11. A. actively B. quietly C. quickly D. curiously
