29、There is no magic method for living longer and better. But a certain character makes getting older a lot more meaningful: having an open mind and heart.
David Starbuck, an archaeologist (考古学家), continues digging up history in New York despite a diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. Last August, a doctor told 70-year-old David Starbuck he had cancer, and that he had only six months to one year to live. David had a ready comeback.” I would prove that the doctor wrong and live for years,” he says. “It’s the stubborn (固执的) ones who survive. We, archaeologists, are like that. I live for whatever I will discover next.”
For the past three decades, David has devoted his life to the dig of one of North America’s most important eighteenth-century sites. Fort Edward, near Glens Falls, New York. You might think that the archaeologists would be satisfied resting on their laurels. “A lot of archaeologists never want to retire,” he says. “We are programmed toward the love of discovery.” In addition to directing yearly digs at Fort Edward and nearby Rogers Island, David keeps busy writing research reports and laying the groundwork for what he hopes will become a visitor-friendly site at Fort Edward. “Some people have families to live for,” he says. “I live for archaeology.” David has published almost twenty books and been written up in newspapers and magazines.
“Archaeologists are storytellers,“ he says. A single small artifact (手工艺品) can tell us about a whole world from the past. “It’s no longer abstract history. You are connecting with someone from hundreds of years ago.” Finding and sharing these moments keeps David alive-physically and spiritually. “The best site,” he says, “is always the one you are about to find.”

B.It is necessary to make use of the remaining days of your limited life.
C.It is your positive attitude that makes life meaningful.

Emma had two exams that day — physics and history. She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Alice looked at her, and then looked away quickly. Emma thought Alice looked pleased, because she didn’t have a problem with physics, she didn’t have a problem with anything...Miss Perfect!
“I thought we were friends, but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks now. she promised to help me go over for the physics exam too, but then she’s forgotten all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy.” Emma thought angrily. At that moment, Mr. Read asked all the students into the exam room.
Emma couldn’t answer some physics questions. Suddenly she saw Alice sitting two rows in front of her. Emma couldn’t believe it! Alice was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Alice always got such good grades? She felt really angry at Alice, and thought about telling the teacher, but...“Stop writing,” said Mr. Read and started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Emma hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
Emma wanted to talk to Alice at lunchtime, but she couldn’t find her anywhere. Emma went to the library to prepare for the history exam, which was her favorite. But she couldn’t concentrate. “Unfair! Alice was getting good grades by cheating all that time.” She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. Just then, Mr. Read walked past her table. “Mr. Read...”
Emma was sitting behind Alice again in the history exam that afternoon. Mr. Read wanted her to look at Alice and agreed if she saw that Alice was cheating in the exam.
