For 39 , she pointed out George Clooney and Anderson Cooper, who looked terrific no matter what. They were the silver all-stars, and I hated them, not for their age-resistant male beauty but for their ability to 40 themselves. I had read stories such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, whose message seemed to be that when it 41 signs of aging, you can run but you cannot hide—and that the longer you attempt to run, the worse the 42 will be.One evening at a sandwich shop，after taking my order, one of the girls 43 the counter asked if she could ask me something.

Do you remember? The 60s’？The 50s’？” It just got 46 . “The 40s’？’’“Late 50s’, early 60s’ , ” I said coolly, wondering if the girl really thought I had been on the 47 then, or she merely found me professorial, a man who appeared to be 48 in general knowledge. “That must have been so 49 ,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corner s!”I have accepted my grey hair since then. I have had to. The celebrity “silver foxes” don’t 50 me as strongly as they used to. On my good days, I 51 count myself as one of them, convinced that my color1 11 shift has revealed a certain mischievousness （俏皮）When asked by myjuniors about the 52 past—about doo-wop and the like–I reply with overemphatic （过分强调的）cheerfulness, _53 the questions are absurd but I am too comfortable with myself to take offence, at 54 .The hard part is when I am alone, out on the street, and glimpse a male stranger who looks fully as old as I once 55 not to be.

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted (引用) all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of the these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain and give as much information as possible, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.60. There are fewer national newspapers in --___________A. Britain than in the USAB. France than in BritainC. the USA than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the USA or Britain61. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because __________A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime and gossipD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way62. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preferenceby___________A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints63. The passage is mainly about ______________A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers参考答案：CBDA略19. 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的题目要求回答76-80小题。
