Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span(平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old.

Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said,“It makes me unhappy when people say,You look young for your age.What does that mean?
