They need to set records every time they report to keep up the momentum,” said Colin Gillis, analyst at BGC Partners.Apple sold 4.9 million Mac computers in the quarter up 27% over the same period last year. “The numbers are actually quite good. The reason why the stock is off I think some of the analysts got carried away,” said Shaw Wu, analyst at Sterne Agee.56. According to the passage, the newest product that have been released by Apple Company up to now is the . A. iPhoneB. iPadsC. iPhone 4SD. iPod video57.Wall Street was not satisfied with the increase on sales of Apple Company because .A. no major new products were releasedB. stock shares fall by almost 5% at one timeC. sales were hurt in September by customersD. Apple sold only 4.9 million Mac computers in the quarter58. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Apple sold computers more than iPhones in the fourth quarterB. The iPhone 4S enjoys the largest numbers of sales of all Apple products by nowC. The sales of the iPhone should have reached 25.9 million in the fourth quarterD. Customers had been waiting for the release of the iPhone 4S for many daysBHow old is “old”? How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life span(寿命) then. At the turn of last century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were finally old. Today, a healthy 75-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one youve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” The calendar simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well youve lived.“Youth”, wrote a writer, “is not a time of life it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.”Old is a point of view. Alice Brophy, when she was with New York commission for the Aging, said, “It annoys me when people say, Gee, you look young for your age. What does that mean? Is there some model that youre supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.There are many myths(无事实根据的观点) about aging. These myths misled people on the basis of age. Here are some of the more common myths and the facts.Myth: Most older people are in poor health.Fact: Not so. There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It is possible to remain physically fit throughout your life.Myth: When you get old, you become senile(衰老).Facts: Older minds can be as bright as young minds. Senility is a sign of disease; it is not part of the normal aging process. In a 1985 study of men ages 20, 40, 60, and 80 years, no evidence was found to indicate that aging was associated with an unavoidable decline in intellectual performance, in generally healthy people. Myth: Older people are rigid, unable to change. Fact: Older people are as flexible as young and middle-aged people. Despite the great stress they deal with death of loved ones or job, financial, and family problems they deal with them rather well. Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as successfully as younger people. 59. What is the average life span in 1900?A. 45 B. 35 C. 70 D. 7560. This article is mainly about .
