Stars can also make use of this medium to build positive image and adverse their films and albums. As a socialized platform, microblog is a good way for us to communicate with others. You can choose whoever to pay attention to. Then his or her news will appear in your space. At the same time, you can also report interesting matters in your microblog. Then you can leave messages and share your happiness and sorrow with others. You can send your information anywhere and anytime. We can not deny that microblog has changed our lives.

After a while it seemed to me that the first 80 years are the hardest.Once you reach 80, everyone wants to carry your baggage and help you up steps. If you forget your name or anybody elses name, or an appointment or your own telephone number or promise to be three places at the same time, or you cant remember how many grandchildren you have, you only need to explain that you are 80.Being 80 is a lot better than being 70.

Everybody is looking for symptoms (症状) of your failure of the brain.Being 70 is not fun at all. At that age they expect you to retire to a house in Florida and complain about your arthritis (关节炎) and you ask everybody to stop mumbling (咕哝) because you cant understand them. (Actually your hearing is about 50% gone).If you survive until you are 80, everybody is surprised that you are still alive. They treat you with respect just for having lived so long. Actually they seem surprised that you can walk and talk sensibly.So please, folks, try to make it to 80. Its the best time of life. People forgive you for anything. In response to the question of what years were the most difficult , an 80-year-old responded “those between 10 and 70.”Life begins at 80.32. According to the passage, how old is the author now? A. Sixty B. Seventy C. Eighty D. Not known33. What does the author say people do to an eighty-year-old man? A. They are often mad at him. B. They offer help to him C. They talk loudly to him D.
