[阅读理解]During work Tom always thought of the girl and felt as if he had met her somewhere， but he couldn‘t remember when. Tom concluded that the girl was in love with him and he was very excited. This girl maybe looked not as beautiful as the girl he had dated the other day， but she had a grand(豪华的)car. She must be very rich. So he chose to love this girl. When his work was over， Tom called the girl who had dated him. He said， “After several days’ thinking， I think I am not suited for being your boyfriend， so I hope you will forget me.”

[阅读理解]“Longer life would give us a chance to recover from our mistakes and promote long term thinking，” says Dr Gregory Stock of the University Of California School Of Public Health. “It would also raise productivity by adding to the year we can work.”

Longer lives don‘t just affect the people who live them. They also affect society as a whole. “We have war， poverty， all sorts of issues around， and I don’t think any of them would be at all helped by having people live longer，” says US bioethicist Daniel Callahan. “The question is ‘What will we get as a society’s suspect it won‘t be a better society.”

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the things that living longer might enable an individual to do

A.Spending more time with his family.

B.Having more education.

C.Realizing more dreams.
