     Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some exports say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

     "I think we are knowing at the door of immortality (永生)." said Michael Zey, a Montclair State

University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075____________________________ and that's  a conservative estimate (保守估计的).”

     At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor and author at New Jersey Medical

School in Newwark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely

that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years." He said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that

people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years." 

     However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubted about it and say the human body is just

not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.  

     Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass

120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of George Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in

good health at all."

黄 土

邹志安

  ①我的父亲是一个极普通的农民,劳动一生,默默死去,像一把黄土。黄土长了庄稼,却并不为太多的人注意。全中国老一辈的大多数农民都是这样。

  ②他死于肺心病。这是严重威胁劳动人民健康的疾病之一。中国农民在平时,是不大主动去医院检查身体的,即使有病躺倒,还要拖磨。我父亲民国十八年遭年馑(jǐn,饥荒)时去南山背粮,走冰溜子,回来时冻掉了十个脚指甲,并且扎下了病根。以后一直半夜咳嗽,而从不看病吃药。直到死前几个月,在我强迫下才去医院作了平生第一次心电图。医生打比方说:“机器运转一生,主机已经磨损,太缺少修复和保养了!”为了挽救,吃“心脉宁”一类比较贵的药。他问:“一瓶药多少钱?”听说有三元多,半天沉默不语,后来就说:“不要买药了,我不要紧。”当我不在时,就偷偷停止服药。他一定计算过:一瓶药的价钱能买近20斤盐:要让儿媳们劳动好多天。

  ③他平生也就只知道劳动。繁重的劳动使他累弯了腰。不知创造了多少财富,自己却舍不得乱花一分钱。有一次我给了他两元零用钱让他买点好吃的,半年后他还在身上装着。在重病期间他出现了谵语(病中神志不清说的胡话。谵,读zhān),净念叨“把猪喂了没有”“把锄头安好”“麦黄了就快收”之类。临死时他默默流泪,留恋这个世界——他为之洒尽汗水然而仍不富裕的世界。

  ④父亲从来无是无非,关心而弄不明白各种国家大事,可以说在精神上是贫困的。富有者被给予,贫困者被剥夺,那么他是被剥夺了:从前因为贫困而没有机会接受文化教育,后来倒是不断地接受各种政治教育,而终于都没有弄明白。但他显然没有遗憾过,因为他有劳动,因此而填补了一切精神缺憾。巧者劳矣智者忧,无能者无所求……但他还有所求——祈求世事不乱,有安稳的日子。

  ⑤他现在去了!在黄土上劳动一生,最后回到黄土里去。黄土是博大宽容的,无论善与恶,最终收容了所有的人。

  ⑥那时我跪在泥水里为他送行。我曾经想到过:他活了77岁,已很不易;而我们周围能活七八十岁的老人又实在太少。不是老人们不想活,也绝非儿女们不孝顺,实在是因为生活水平太差。尽快发展生产,改善人民生活。这是儿女们挽留老人多驻一时的最符合孝道的方法了。哭也徒然,哀也无助。死者长已矣,生者当勉力。

  ⑦ * * 和领导人死了,会有无数悼文,因为他们功勋昭著。一个普通劳动者死了,我就撒下这一把黄土,并期望世人能够容纳。(有改动选自《延河》1981年第11期)

2.第②~④段是对父亲生平事迹的描写,依次概括,应是______________、______________和______________。

5.3月,温 * * * * 在《政府工作报告》中提出,要“采取更直接、更有力的政策措施,促进粮食增产和农民增收”。这句话再次回应了广大农民的企盼。请从第⑥段找出表达农民心声的句子,写在下面。
