青春常驻
First listen and then answer the
question.
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
Why doesnt Aunt Jennifer tell anyone how old she
is?
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years
old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer
will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of
seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black
stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright,
orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always
answers, ‘Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up! ’
