Part 2. Questions 36-40 Death Giggles
Not many books about old age and the fear of death tend to boost my mood my mood, but Gene Cohen’s the creative Age has me singing in the shower and chuckling even at Internet jokes. Being a white headed wrinkly, as Australians call us old folks , I now feel the laughs bulling up the way they have for most my 76 years, Why? Well Cohen brightened my life-by putting me back in touch with my fear of death.
Millions of us are living 30 years longer than we did a hundred years ago, and the data suggest that just in my lifetime we’ve been given a 14-year honus in productive activity. Our species is experimenting with lifespan. Here we are playing in overtime, with more health and energy than any cohort our age ever had. But our bodies wear down and cramp up, aggravating reminders that the whistle will soon blow to end the game. We tense up with anxiety and nocturnal panic, wake from nightmares at 2:29 a.m ,roused by fear-moved bowels, fall into depression, lose concentration and turn edgy each time memory hides a name or a fact just when we have to have it. So we have to turn tombstone terrors into creative energy, urges Cohen. We start to get liberated, if ever, only by a “dramatic, though often overlooked, change in the way we think about death.” Shifting from the abstract to the concrete, death changes “from something that happens to something that will happen .” Only when we look death in the eye-whatever words work for you –and come to terms with our mortality do we discover a creative new freedom, Cohen reports. As the founding director of the National Institute of Mental Health’s Institute for Ageing, he’s looked into enough cases to dig out the subtle stuff buried under death denials. That’s why the why the book pays off solidly on the promise of its subtitle:Awakening Human Potential in the Second Half of Life.
The data suggests that we elders have easier access to our unconscious, productive dreams, than most busy grown-ups. In Denial of Death , the classic by Ernst Becker, the author argued that most art, and indeed civilization, comes from our struggle to transcend our mortal limits. What I know is I’d lost my old humour partner, death, but with Cohen’s help we’re hanging out together again and we know that a workable idea or a good joke is more important than extended tofu.

Part 3 Questions 41-50. Romance of Three Kingdoms
1.The Ming Dynasty classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, by Luo Guanzhong, has long intrigued readers, both Chinese and foreign, with is depiction of political conspiracies its character portraits of politicians, statesmen and military strategists
2.Now a mammoth, 84-part TV series, the play is a faithful adaptation of the original novel, and has become almost as popular overseas as it is at home. It is a panorama of a particular chaotic period in Chinese history, when imperial rule was weak and local monarchs longed for power. The rivals were finally reduced to three main contenders, the rulers of the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu, known in Chinese history as the Three Kingdoms. They fought for over half a century until China was finally reunited under the Jin Dynasty. The story of the play also spans about half a century, starting with local rivalries, moving no to the confrontation of the Three Kingdoms and ending with the final rnification of the country.
3.The Three Kingdoms period is one the the most written and talked-about eras in China ’s 5,000 years of history. For six decades battles raged back and forth, diplomacy was honed to a fine art, and political alliances were forged and broken in rapid succession. The monarchs of the three kingdoms have gained a reputation throughout history for being smart rulers, and each in turn was served by outstanding underlings, both military and civilian. It was an era in which a battle of wits was even more important than a military battle, a time when talent collided with talent and military genius with military genius-in short, a fantastic source of literary creation for generations to come.
4.The novel itself is an epic with an enormous number of protagonists to come. If there is one, is Zhuge Liang, adviser to Liu Bei, ruler of the State of Shu . Because of his talents as a statesman and military strategist, Zhuge Liang has come to be seen by later generations of Chinese as the archetype of wisdom. Liu Bei is regarded as the representative of Confucianism. Both the novel and the TV play stress his benevolence, leniency, understanding of the people, and the fact that he knew how to get the best out of everyone.
5.Amother leading character, Cao Cao ,is a far more complex personality.Having forced the young emperor of the Han Dynasty into subservience through his military might, Cao Cao becomers the power behind the throne. Like Zhuge Liang, he is an extraordinary politician and military strategist, but in addition he is also a poet of great depth. At the same time, however, he is cunning and brutal, egoistical and paranoid-at least in the nover. The TV presentation, sticking a little closer to known historical facts, portrays both his good and bad sides, bringing to the screen a very real and human character. Perhaps this is why he is the most popular with TV audiences.

41. Name: Position:Military adviser to the ruler of the State of Shu Words used to describe his personality/activities:
