Perhaps it39。s just that I39。ve been doing it for a long time so it isn39。t a topofmind 1 . Perhaps it39。s because I like to keep busy and just don39。t think about it. Sometimes, 2 something happens that makes me consider my death and what lies ahead. I used to be a radio broadcaster and recently I was 3 by the activity director at a senior citizen39。s home near where I live. She told me there are a couple of 4 broadcasters who live in the home and they 5 really enjoy a visit from someone with a similar 6 who can trade stories with them about the good old days. I39。m retired, and I have some free time 7 I said, sure, I39。d e for a visit or two. That has 8 a routine in which I spend an afternoon each week chatting with the old boys and helping them to revisit memories of happier, busier times. One of them, it turns out, is 9 tied to an oxygen generating machine, can only move about in a wheelchair using portable oxygen and 10 , has dementia(癡呆) and knows he is slowly 11 his memory and ability to think clearly. My other new friend in the home has cerebral palsy(大腦癱瘓) and is also 12 to a wheelchair. Neither man can live 13 any more。 they can39。t drive a car, can39。t prepare their own meals, can39。t plant a garden or mow a lawn. But they39。re being well cared for and they have family members who e for 14 visits and now I guess they have me. For me, though, it39。s a look at what may lie ahead, perhaps not for a number of years, perhaps tomorrow, I have no way of 15 . The thought of being dead doesn39。t bother me although I39。m in absolutely no 16 to get there. What bothers me, if I think about it in the dark moments 17 all have from time to time, is the 18 of dying. The young people who 19 the majority of this magazine39。s readership won39。t understand this because they are immortal. I was immortal once too and I39。m still going strong and feeling great. That said, I go to visit the men in the senior39。s home and sometimes I look 20 into the unknown. Life gets interesting in unforeseen ways as one gets older.1. A. habitB. subjectC. objectD. problem2.
