Years ago, there lived a wealthy man named Mr. Cooper who, with his dearest young son John, loved art collecting. Together they traveled around the world, collecting the finest art treasures.
One winter, war came to the nation, and John left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram reading that John had died while saving a fellow soldier. Filled with sadness, the old man cried. On the coming Christmas morning, a soldier called on him and gave him a picture of John.
The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. According to his will, all of his works of art would be auctioned (拍賣) on Christmas Day, when he had received the greatest gift of his life. The day soon arrived and art collectors from around the world gathered to buy some of the world’s greatest paintings. The auction began with a painting of the old man’s son. “Who will open the bidding (出價) with $100?” the auctioneer (拍賣人) asked. Minutes passed, but no one spoke. Finally, a neighbor of the old man’s spoke. “Can I take the painting for ten dollars? It is all I have, and he is a good man.”
“Will anyone go higher?” called the auctioneer. After more silence, the auctioneer said, “Going once, going twice, gone.” The gavel(槌) fell. “Now we can get on to the real treasures,” someone shouted angrily. But the auctioneer said that the auction was over. Someone asked,“It’s over? We didn’t come here for a picture of some old guy’s son. There are millions of dollars worth of art here!”The auctioneer replied, “It’s very simple. According to the will of the father, whoever takes the son ... gets all.”

Why do man die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that
the reason could be that man’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle
ago.
The largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“ We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20 to 25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age.”,said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the Uk.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat.Between the age of 20 and 70,one—third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,”said Goldspink.“This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these
cells.A healthy 70—year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year— old one’s.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,”
said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 1 8 and 80,focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
“The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
