  When should a child start learning to read and write?This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked.There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies of reading letters to form words.

  If a three-year-old wants to read(or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child has the right to be given every encouragement.The fact that he or she might later be“bored”when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher’s affair.It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.

  Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike.They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(having difficulty in reading).

  Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read(if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms.For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.

  Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored.But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.

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.
