Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life.I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sad days, some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't. In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days I didn't have much time to think or to play. Every day I was busy and worked hard. I started to get some white hair.The summer of my life passed quickly. Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working, I retired.I had more time.

Four Seasons in My Life.C. Four Season In a YearD. My LifeDPopeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach（菠菜）to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron（铁）than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid(叶酸).It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.62. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC. A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong63. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C.
