Even before he is 80,the aging person may undergo another identity crisis like that of adolescence. Perhaps there had also been a middle-aged crisis. But for the rest of adult life he had taken himself for【C1】______,with his capabilities and failings. Now,when he looks in the mirror, he asks himself, "Is this really me? "—or he avoids the mirror out of distress at【C2】______it reveals,those bags and wrinkles. In his new makeup he is【C3】______upon to play a new role in a play that must be improvised. Andre Gibe,that longlived man of letters,wrote in his journal,"My heart has remained so young that I have the continual feeling of playing a part,the part of the 70-year-old that I certainly am;and the infirmities and weaknesses that remind me of my acre act like a prompter,reminding me of my lines when I tend to stray. Then,like the good actor I want to 【C4】______,go back into my role,and I pride【C5】______on playing it well."
In his new role the old person will find that he is tempted by new vices,that he receives new compensations (not so widely known)and that he may possibly achieve new virtues. Chief among these is the heroic or merely obstinate refusal to surrender in the【C6】______of time. One admires the ships that go down with all flags【C7】______and the captain on the bridge.
Among the vices of age are avarice,untidiness,and vanity,which last takes the form of a craving to be loved or simply admired. Avarice is the worst of those three. Why do so many old persons,men and women【C8】______, insist on hoarding money when they have no prospect of using it and even when they have no heirs? They eat the cheapest food,buy no clothes,and live in a single room when they could afford better lodging. It may be that they regard money as a form of powenthere is a comfort in watching it accumulate while other powers are dwindling【C9】______. How often we read of an old person found dead in a hovel,on a mattress partly stuffed【C10】______bankbooks and stock certificates? The bankbook syndrome,we call it in our family,which has never succumbed.
【C9】
