27、People often say that an Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than in flats, and many people own their homes. They can paint and change them in any way they like. In a crowded city everyone knows that he or she hasprivatespace that is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting on a beach or a train or in a library? If you are on the beach you may have spread your sands around you; on the train you may have put your coat or a small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man sitting opposite me had his bag on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was made rather angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table! I took some newspapers out of my bag and put them on his. When I did this he sat up straight at once, opening his eyes wide. I had invaded（侵占）his space! A few minutes later, I took my newspapers off his bag in order to read them. He at once moved his bag to his side of the table.

28、   As you grow up, your parents are also getting older. "I don't want you to get old," you might say to your mom and dad. But remember, 【1】 old is a normal thing. Everyone will become old one day. What's it like to be old?

When you're with your grandparents, you might see wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces. Their hair might be gray. They need to wear 【2】 to read. They often forget things. In your neighborhood, you might see some older people around. They need people to help them.

However, old people's life can be colorful and meaningful. The old are 【3】 of wisdom (智慧). They know about lots of things and like to give advice. When people are old, they stop working. Therefore, they have a lot of time to do their favorite things, such as traveling, reading or singing.

Besides, they have many memories of their lives, both good and bad. Do your grandparents like to 【5】 them with you?

How do you feel about getting old now?  Do you still think it's bad? 【6】 scientists made a pill (药丸) that could keep you young forever, would you take it?

Another student from Guangzhou said, "I would take it right away because I was so afraid of getting old. Getting old means getting sick and ugly. I'd like to be young and beautiful forever." How about you?
