| There are many American expressions about insects-like bees, for example. Bees always appear to be busy, moving around their homes, or hives. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the bee's knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees! If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personal question, you might say "that is none of your beeswax". This means none of your business. Speaking of personal questions, there is an expression people sometimes use when their children ask, "where do babies come from?" Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and the bees. Hornets are beelike insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are mad as a hornet. Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still. |

| Nobody has ever succeeded in their attempt to stay young and live a very long life. 1 But is this really true? Dr Aubrey de Grey thinks that we can stop people getting old and that in about 20 years, people will be able to live to be 1,000 years old! 2 In Dr Grey's opinion, getting old is a problem that can be solved. 3 If we can cure this disease, we can stop the aging process.We can also make people have young bodies again. Dr Grey believes that science will soon be able to stop the causes of aging so that a person's body won't get weak and won't suffer from the typical diseases of old age. Dr Grey compares the human body to a house.As the house gets older, some things must be repaired.Broken hearts must be replaced.The same thing can happen with the human body, he thinks. We can use stem cell technology to grow new, healthy tissue to replace the old, damaged one.We can also try to remove diseasecausing molecules in our bodies._5_. 6 However, they admit that Dr Grey's ideas have not yet been proved wrong.Dr Grey is convinced that his opinions are realistic and that his research is very important.If aging is a disease, he says, we must try to cure it. A. At the same time, people's bodies will stay young and healthy. B. Scientists succeeded in solving the problem of aging long ago. C. A lot of scientists think his ideas not realistic. D. When our bodies change as we get older, this is like a disease. E. New deadly diseases may also be cured, if we can stop the aging process. F. It seems that everybody must get old and die. G. In this way, a person could easily live to be 1,000 years old. |
