In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to __60_ their age, especially if they feel they look young __61__ their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) __62__ question like “ How old are you”. If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily _63_ the topic themselves, and ask the other person to __64__ how old they are. __65__ such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age _66_ .They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than _67 that they look very old!
       __68__ Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not __69__ that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else _70_ the information, __71__ they may try to _72_ the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational __73__ and the number of years of working experience may provide some _74_, but this is not always the _75_ .
