I often see __42__ do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful __43__ she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked __44__ she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite __45__ keep your mind active，take an interest in the world __46__ you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as __47__ you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to __48__. I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor.
