[1]I don't know about you, but I look a lot older than I really am. Now I know I could solve much of that by coloring my hair with some product like "Just for Men", but I refuse to go there just yet. But it really gets upsetting sometimes. For example, at my brother's wedding four years ago, the photographer thought I was his father. Really, I'm not kidding.
[2]And just a few weeks ago, I was a riding in a car with another one of my brothers when he stopped to pick up his paycheck. Anyway, his boss saw me in the car and asked him if _________________. Now, he only saw me from a distance, but it still hurt. Again, I'm not making this up.
[3]So I've decided to fight this battle in my own way. Since I obviously look old, I'm going to act young to compensate(弥补) for it. So what I am doing to act young? Well, it all has to with the way I move around.
[4]First, I try to walk faster than everyone else. That one is not a big deal for me, as I've always had a tendency to walk fast. It's a family trait（特性）.
[5]Second, I try to use quick movements. That means getting up from a sitting position quickly, sitting down quickly, lying down quickly, getting up from a lying position quickly, changing directions quickly, turning quickly, etc. Now this one presents a little more of a challenge to me. I have to be careful not to hurt or damage a sensitive body part.
[6]Of course, if all of that doesn’t work, there’s always the “Just for Men.”

Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I left My Heart in San Fransisco”. He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night.

Bennett is to record a TV program with American singer Lens Home while he is here. And a new LP recorded by him in London for Philips titled “Listen Easy” will be published in June.. “I like it here.” He added quietly over whiskey. “I would like to live here so many months of the year.”
