题目内容：

Like most July days, it was hot．I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream．It was a very 21store with little round tables and chairs．

As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a 22near the door．Her back was so23twisted （扭曲） by some misfortune that her face nearly 24the tabletop．1 sat down 25 her a couple of tables away．

"Poor woman," I thought．"What does she 26life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime （盛年）?"

As I thought, another 27lady entered the shop and sat down with her．Soon the two of them were 28childhood days．They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years．In minutes, the two of them were shaking with 29.

I looked again at the first woman, then in the 30on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself．I was wearing a dirty shirt．She was 31dressed in white, her face carefully made up and her hands 32with gold rings．I was 33 ．She was laughing．I was putting the 34of my life together．She had millions of 35memories to recall． 36I was worried about getting old．She was old, but it wasn't 37her．As I left the shop, I thought of my 38question about God letting people live past their prime．Why, that woman was more 39to life than I was．Age has not 40her spirit．
