29、ollowing blanks with an appropriate word.Today, the Tower of London is one of the most popular tourist【S1】_and attracts over three million visitors a year.

30、nown as a prison and execution place. Within the walls of the tower, princes have been murdered, traitors tortured, spies shot, and queens of England beheaded.

35、lternative. And yet, as Goethe said,“Age takes hold of us by surprise.“ For himself, each man is the sole, unique subject, and we are often astonished when the common fate becomes our ownwhen we are struck by sickness, a shattered relationship, or bereavement. Nevertheless, we accept fortuitous acci

36、dents readily enough, making them part of our history, because they affect us as unique beings; but old age is the general fate, and when it seizes upon our own personal life we are dumbfounded.Even if the body does send us signals, they are ambiguous. There is a temptation to confuse some curable d

37、isease with irreversible old age. Trotsky lived only for working and fighting, and he dreaded growing old; he was filled with anxiety when he remembered Turgenevs remark, one that Lenin often quoted“Do you know the worst of all vices? It is being over fifty-five.“ And in 1933, when he was exactly fi

38、fty-five himself, he wrote a letter to his wife, complaining of tiredness, lack of sleep, a failing memory; it seemed to him that his strength was going, and it worried him. “Can this be age that has come for good, or is it more that a temporary, though sudden, decline that I shall recover from? We

39、shall see.“The reverse applies: the discomforts caused by age may sometimes be scarcely noticed or mentioned. They are taken for superficial and curable disorders. One must already be fully aware of ones age before it can be detected in ones body. And even then, the body does not always help us to a

40、 full inward realization of our condition. We know that this rheumatism, for example, or that arthritis, are caused by old age ; yet we fail to see that they represent a new status. We remain what we were, with the rheumatism as something additional.When elderly people say that they are ill even whe

41、n they are not they are emphasizing this anomaly: they are adopting the point of view of a man who is still young, and who would be worried by being rather deaf and dim-slighted, by feeling poorly from time to time and by tiring easily. When they say that they are satisfied with their health and whe

42、n they will not look after themselves, then they are settling down into old age they realize what is the matter. Their attitude depends upon how they choose too regard age in general. They know that elderly people are looked upon as an inferior species. So many of them take any allusion to their age

43、 as an insult: they want to regard themselves as young come, and they would rather think of themselves as unwell than old. Others find it convenient to speak themselves as elderly, even before the time has really come age provides alibis; it allows them to lower their standards; and it is less tirin
