Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar, It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
―Tom, no‖ shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder,
Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫)and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
―Knife, Tom, ‖ shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
61.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar? A. To get ready to fight B. To frighten it away C. To protect the boy D. To cool down

I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, ― Fifty is what forty used to be .‖He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill ?People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
― You are not getting older, you are getting better .‖ says Dr. Joyce Brothers .This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词).In fact, a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend( 混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said .‖Old is always fifteen years from now.‖
65. The author seems to tell us in Paragraph I that A. time alone will tell B. time goes by quickly
C. time will show what is right D. time makes one forget the past
66. When the author turned fifty, people around him A. tried to comfort him
B. got inspirations from him C. were friendlier with him D. found him more talkative
67. The author considers his fifty years of life
A. peaceful B. ordinary C. satisfactory D. regretful 68. We can infer from the passage that A. the old should lead a simple life B. the old should face the fact of aging C. the old should take more exercise
D. the old should fill themselves with curiosity
