A

My arms shook.The bow was almost as tall as I was,and it was equipped with a narrow,ready to be shot. Never had a more ill-suited person handled a weapon. But my editor had sent me on a mission：to find my inner Katniss Everdeen at one of Being's indoor archery clubs.

The brilliant archer Everdeen is the lead character in The Hunger Games movies,the final of which was just released in cinemas. Her arrows can hit almost anything：sword-swinging enemies, fierce animals, even aircraft some-how,Me? I can’t throw a paper ball into a trashcan with any precision. And I was warned that archery would require a great deal of upper body strength,though I hadn’t seen the inside of a gym in years.

News outlets like The New York Times and NPR have reported an increase of interest in archery,thanks to movies like The Hunger Games,Brave and The Avengers. Archery clubs have showed up in many major cities. In Jian Club,an archery-themed bar,we paid 120 yuan for an hour's worth of target practice and prepared our bows and arrows.

We were told to stand sideways,with one shoulder facing the bull’s eye.Your weaker arm would hold the bow,while the other would pull the bowstring back until the arrow was right next to your face. Then it was meters away.Well,sort of.Instead of sending the arrows whistling through the a ir,my first few simply dropped on to the ground.

The failure was a good reminder that archery is a demanding,Olympic-level sport. It worked muscles in my back and arms that I just didn't have yet. An hour came and went,and I found myself leaving with a couple pie reed(刺穿的) bull's eyes and sore shoulders. Was I ready to shoot down aircraft with a swift arrow? Not quite. But I was definitely ready for a return trip.

We are born,we live,we age and we die. This is the natural cycle of human existence. The world record holder for the longest human life is Jeanne Louise Calment of France,who lived to 122 years and 164days. But what is the secret to along life?

Human beings are complex, and we live for a very long time,making studies of the process of ageing a serious challenge. Most of the research to date has therefore been done in animals. Two of the favorite species for these kinds of studies are Caenorhabditis elegans,a very tiny worm,and Mus musculus,the laboratory mouse. The worms generally live for just two or three weeks, while the mice have an up-per lifespan of around three years,and both have a lot of genes that are quite similar to our own. Using these models,researchers have i denied several possible candidates, including stem cell, calorie restriction(能量限制), and even some drugs, could hold off the ageing process.

After years of careful research,there is now a wealth of knowledge just waiting to be tested in people.We spoke to Brian Kennedy, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Ageing. “We're a nonprofit medical research institute that's focused on unders tanding ageing. We realized when the doors opened in1999 that ageing was the biggest risk factor behind all of the diseases that we care about, ”he explains.“I think the exciting thing that we have lea med over the past decade is that it's really possible to slow ageing in a mouse,or even in primates(灵长类动物) .The challenge now is to take that knowledge and apply it to humans.
