My passage into eighties a few weeks ago gave me a moment’s reflection and the thought that I should watch how others in this situation have been affected. After a while it seemed to me that the first 80 years are the hardest.
Once you reach 80, everyone wants to carry your baggage and help you up steps. If you forget your name or anybody else’s name, or an appointment or your own telephone nu mber, or promise to be there places at the same, or you can’t remember how many grandchildren you have, you only need to explain that you are 80.
Being 80 is a lot better than being 70. At 70 people are mad at you for everything. At 80, you have a perfect excuse no matter what you do. If you act foolishly, it’s your second children. Everybody is looking for symptoms（症状）of your failing of the brain.
Being 70 is not fun at all. At that age they expect you to retire to a house in Florida and complain about your arthritis（关节炎）and you ask everybody to stop mumbling （咕哝）becau se you can’t understand them. (Actually your hearing is about 50% gone) .
If you survive until you are 80, every is surprised that you are still alive. They treat you with respect just for having lived so long. Actually they seem surprised that you
can walk and talk sensibly.
So please, folks, try to m ake it to 80. It’s the best time of life. People forgive you for anything. In response to the question of what years were the most difficult, an 80-year-old responded “those between 10 and 70.”
Life begins at 80.

Gary Locke, 61, who comes from a Chinese background and even looks Chinese, became the new US ambassador (大使) to China.
“ I can think of nobody who is more qualified than Gary Locke.” President Obama said. Locke’s new position is clearly a sign that US President is trying to improve relations with China.
When he made his first speech to the Chinese press in Beijing, Locke said, “I think, being a Chinese-American, I have a greater understanding of the history and culture of China, but I am here as a representative of the US government.”
Before becoming ambassador to China, Locke was US secretary of commerce (商务部长). This means he has plenty of trade experience, which will be useful in building economic links between the two countries.
Locke’s grandfather went to the United States over a century ago to work as a houseboy for a family in Washington State in exchange for English lessons. His father moved to the US as a teenager.
“I’m going back to the birthplace of my grandfather, my father and my mom, and I’ll be doing so as a devoted diplomat (外交官) for America, the country where I was born and raised,”Locke said.

Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, was launched on 16 July, 1969. Five days later they stepped down onto the moon.
Neil Armstrong
On the way there: Of all the wonderful views we had, the most impressive to me was on the way to the Moon when we flew through its shadow. We were still thousands of miles away, but close enough so that the Moon almoet filled our window. The Moon appeared blue-grey. It seemed almost as if it were showing us its roundness, its similarity in shape to our Earth, in a sort of welcome. I was sure it would be a hospitable host. It had been waiting for its first visitors for a long time.
After touch down:The sky is black, you know. It’s a very dark sky, but it still seemed more like daylight than darkness as we looked out the window. It’s a very strange thing but the surface looked very warm and inviting. It seemed to be tan(棕褐色). It’s hard to explain that, because later when I held the material in my hand, it wasn’t tan at all.It was black, grey and so on.
