阅读下面短文，把握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.
In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy).
After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.
A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.
Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break.
Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end.
In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown.
Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.
For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.
An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years.
1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to?
A. Physical vitality.　　　　B. Stress.　　　　C. Aging.　　　　D. Physical resistance.
2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ______.　
A. human’s life pattern is predictable
B. physical fitness can’t stop the force of aging
C. human’s lifetime will last longer than 75 years
D. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body
3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?
A. By limiting the protein in their diet. B. By cutting the calories in their diet.
C. By resetting their clock of aging. D. By keeping their physical fitness.
4. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Two Great Experiments. B. The Mystery of Human Life.
C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life. D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging.

依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruel
71 They’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.
There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. 72
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.
But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. 73 Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
74
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.
75 You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad
A. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.
B. It's a journey.
C. Life is full of love
D. Last, think that you are a wonderful human being.
E. Finally, know that I love you and always will.
F. There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.
G. Love should be your rule
