Passage One
The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It&39;s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.
There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn&39;t true.
“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,” Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.
Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).
Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.
Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”
The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste” to get big new things done while there is still time.
What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74.A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.
What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?
A.It has led to a lot of debate
B.It is widely acknowledged
C.It is no longer fashionable
D.It misrepresents real life
How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?
A.It may be the beginning of a crisis
B.It can be a new phase of one&39;s life
C.It can be terrifying for the unprepared
D.It may see old-age diseases approaching
According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.
A.to relax
B.to mature
C.to harvest
D.to reflect
How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?
A.It can be quite rose
B.It can be burdensome
C.It undergoes radical transformation
D.It makes for the best part of one&39;s life
What does the author say about midlife today?
A.It is more meaningful than other stages of life
B.It is likely to change the narrative of one&39;s life
C.It is more important to those with a longer lifespan
D.It is likely to be a critical turning point in one&39;s life

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning,a middle,and an end—with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. ”“Drink Root Beer. ” “Fill up with Pacific Gas. ” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now !,’The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. (76) The bus driver has a style of driving and it ’ s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you ’ ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there ’ s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. (77) By now you ’ ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests—even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A.Buses on the road.
B.Films on television.
C.Advertisements on the board.
D.Gas stations.
