12、g at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate (保守的估计).”At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical

13、 School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit

14、and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will final

15、ly lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present peo

20、is a market failure，” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1，000 childrens apps collected identifying infor

37、e music lasts for hours?We interviewed a group of musicians based in Beijing during the weekend. They all said that hours of exposure to loud music can cause discomfort.

38、only occurs to musicians. Its also not rare for daily users since listening to loud music on loud sound equipment has become a part of modem life.
