When Tony took up running as a hobby he was 42 years old．Now 42 years later he's a national champion and a world record holder．
   He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he'd be，but then he doesn't meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week．
   "I can see it's a bit unusual，yes．But it's been my life， " he told the reporter．
   The retired officer runs at a track near his home in Leeds．
   At an event in Italy last month he set a world record in the 80 metres hurdles （跨欄）with a time of under 17 seconds．But he sees no reason to slow down and his ambition is still to be competing when he passes a hundred．
   "I probably won't be doing a crouch start （蹲式起跑），but it's only 16 years away，" he joked．Like anyone his age，he's had health problems．He's had a string of severe heart attacks，but doctors have told him as long as it makes him feel good，he should carry on running．
   "I can't let my heart get in the way of my training．When I am sprinting I have to give it my absolute all．My heart is the last thing on my mind．" he said．
   He trains every other day，dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol and chocolate．He said， "I've heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I don't want that．I've cut down to one glass of wine every other day．I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle．"
   Tony's next birthday is next September．And the first thing he wants to do is become the world's fastest 85-year-old．

  • 1．The most frightening words in the English language are "Our computer is down"．You hear it more and more when you are on business．
       The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said， "I'm sorry，I can't sell you a ticket．Our computer is down．"
       "If your computer is down，just write me out a ticket．"
       "I can't write you out a ticket．The computer is the only one allowed to do so．"
       I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen．Then I asked her， "What do all your people do？"
       "We give the computer the information about your trip，and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not．"
       "So when it goes down，you go down with it．"
       "That's right，sir．"
       "How long will the computer be down？" I wanted to know．
       "I have no idea．Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes，sometimes for two hours．There's no way we can find out without asking the computer，and since it's down it won't answer us．"
       After the girl told me they had no backup （備用） computer，I said， "Let's forget the computer．What about your planes？They're still flying，aren't they？"
       "I couldn't tell without asking the computer．"
       "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington，" I suggested．
       "I wouldn't know what gate to send you to．Even if the pilot was going to Washington，he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket．"
      "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？"
       "I wouldn't know，" she said，pointing at the dark screen． "Only 'IT' knows． 'IT' can't tell me．"
       By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines．The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down．Some people went white；some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage．

    （1）What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer？

    A．She could sell a ticket．
    B．She could write out a ticket．
    C．She could answer the passengers' questions．
    D．She could do nothing．
    （2）The last paragraph suggests that

    A．a(chǎn) modern computer won't be down
    B．computers can take the place of humans
    C．sometimes a computer may bring trouble to people
    D．there will be great changes in computers

    A．When the Computer Is Down
    B．The Most Frightening Words
    C．The Computer of the Airport
    D．A Different Travel

  • 3．I had been in the city for some time and was coming home.I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship.I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
       Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver，the captain's favourite dog，for the first time.What a big dog it was！I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
       On the third day the ship caught fire.Nobody tried to put it out.The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the lifeboats.I saw no chance of getting away in a boat.Suddenly I remembered there was a life raft（橡皮救生筏） on the ship.I had no time，so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it into the water.
       In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time.When I came to，I found there was no sign of a lifeboat.Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her.I was the only one who was saved.
       Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft.It struggled a long time before it managed to get onto the raft.I wanted to push it back into the water but did not dare to move.The dog shook itself，went to the other end of the raft and lay down.I did not dare to sleep that night.I must watch it.In the moonlight I could see its eyes were open.It was watching，too.
