  When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军),so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.

  We were camping in a river.After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim.Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs.If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.

  Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day.That afternoon, we had supper early.We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and sat down towards the river.We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.

  We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible.After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them.But no one moved towards the river-we stood looking at each other ashamed.Then all shouting at once, we agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river.We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.

  An hour passed.Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing.Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank.One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly.He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully.We could not understand where the man had gone.

  When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered.We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening.Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again, but there was no one there.

  Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday.What did we see?I do not know.

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
