Host: Hello! I’m Gavin from All Talk970 FM. Welcome to our program. Today our topic is part-time job. Are they good for school children or not?

　 Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class.

　 Mrs. Black: I agree. I know school hours are short, but there’s homework too, and children need a lot of sleep.

　 Mr. Black: Young children perhaps, but some boys stay at school until they’re eighteen or nineteen. A pare-time job can’t harm them. In fact, it’s good for them. They themselves earn their pocket-money. And they see something of the world outside school.

　 Businessman: You’re quite right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra money. If the students didn’t take the part-time jobs, they couldn’t stay at school.

　 Host: Well, we have got two for, and two against. What do our listeners think?

How old is“old”?The answer has changed many times. Two hundred years ago ,you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span was 45.In 1950,a 70-year-old person was really old. Today, a healthy 70-yaer-old man is still thought young.

So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard of many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived

“Nobody grows old by living a number of years ,”wrote a writer. “People grow old when they don’t have their ideals (理想).”People shouldn’t have the wrong ideas about aging . Sometimes older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say,‘You look young for your age.’” What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.
