Susan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.
“I reinvent myself every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”
Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.
Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.
“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.
Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journal and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.
Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always
come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”
8. What's Dr Susan's opinion on age?
A. Age cannot be hidden.
B. Age is a state of mind.
C. Every age has its pains and sorrows.
D. Old age is not suitable for further study.
9. What made Dr Susan start bodybuilding?
A. The need of her job.
B. Her youthful dream.
C. Steve Pfiester's influence.
D. Her daughters' encouragement.
10. Which of the following best describes Dr Susan's morning schedule?
A. Dull.
B. Tight.
C. Flexible.
D. Controversial.
11. What can be inferred about Dr Susan from the last paragraph?
A. She will set up a fitness foundation.
B. She will soon return to retirement.
C. She often thinks of her teenage years.
D. She sets an example to her daughters.
D
Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.
From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.
Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.
Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.
“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest
gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”
12. Chimps slap the objects to____________.
A. tell others to stop what they are doing
B. ask others chimps to join them
C. gather other chimps to move closer
D. encourage interactions to start
13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?
A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.
B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.
C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.
D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.
14. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By analyzing causes.
B. By examining differences.
C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and Chimps
C. Getting the Chimps Trained for Language
D. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps
