     When you are curious(好奇的)about something,  and want to know more about it,  you can use the
way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research(研究).
     Step 1
     On a note card or piece of paper,  write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main
idea down. For example,  you might write: Discover more about dinosaurs.
     Step 2
     Next,  stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you
already know like the sentences below:
     (1)Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.
     (2)Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.
     (3)Some dinosaurs fed on plants,  some on meat.
     Step 3
     What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions. On your paper,  start writing
down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them:
     (1)What's the best weather for dinosaurs to live in?
     (2)How many kinds of dinosaurs are there?
     (3)Have dinosaurs really disappeared?
     Step 4
     Armed with your list of questions,  you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your
research. As you learn more about your subject,  you'll probably discover some new questions.For
example,  you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why? What
happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
     The next time you find something interesting to research,  take time to organize(組織)your thinking by
asking good questions. And remember - learning more always bring more questions.

How Long Can People Live?

　　She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday．

　　Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder．She lived to the ripe old age of 122．So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(壽命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?

　　Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers．“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas．

　　Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees．“People can live much longer than we think,”he says．“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110．When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120．So why can’t we go higher?”

　　The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing．“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan．“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine．”

　　Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120．Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most．So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120．”

　　So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有彈性的)，but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington．“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says．“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years．”

　　“Of course, if you became a new species(物種)，one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds．

　　Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(進(jìn)化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile．
