Those who stand still, die, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away, he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: Its down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others.Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He also plans to keep performing. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. 来源:学,科,网Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through imperfection. In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. Shes convinced that humans grow on challenges. With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. 66. From the first two paragraphs, we can see _. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybodyB. Oliveira owes his long life to his mothers help C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior67. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 768. By saying Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?, Heesters means that he _. A. is willing to work till he dies B. is waiting for people to pick him up C. wants to sit or lie in comfort D. prefers to give performance at home69. The best title for this passage may be “_”. A. The Older, the Wiser Youll Be B. Progress, Created Through Imperfection C. How to Live to Be a Centenarian D.

When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isnt a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no two paths are the sameBut whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position share the qualities of commitment, work ethic（守则）and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I alwa
