A handsome middle??aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he ordered,he couldn’t help but notice a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(絲帶) on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.

The man pretended not to notice it,but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye,placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked,“This?”

With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said,“Hey,sorry,man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”

The middle??aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice,the middle??aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.”

“Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?”

“No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby,and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.”

“Umm,” the young replied “yeah.”

“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife” the man continued.

“And she’s okay, too?”the young guy asked.

“Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us,and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts,and her health.”

“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?”

“No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now...”

Shaken and ashamed,the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry,mister.”

“So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here...”With this,he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “...?”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

__1__ From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores;  but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.

You are smartest in your 20`s; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations, __2__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example , is three times as great as then you graduated form college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at the age of21.

__3__ You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense form 40 to 49.

Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 3 0, we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we “ become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow”.

__4__ Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak(頂峰) varies with different professions.

Mosart wrote a symphony(交響曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed(作曲) his best known work A Midsummer Night` s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20`s and 30`---creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives.__5__.

A.When are you most creative (創(chuàng)造性的)?

B.When are you happiest?

C.When are you smartest?

D.Do you know what I.Q. refers to?

E. But your I.Q. for other tasks goes up.

F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.

G. For the “well-conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.
