Another story came down(去掉)from the daughter of a Zeritsky client.Her father was still, at the age of one hundred and two, passionately（热情的）interested in
politics, but the chances of his lasting until the next election was(改为 were)not good.The daughter herself suggested the deep freeze and he welcomed the idea.He decided on a twenty-year stay because, in his own words, “As(改为If)the Republicans（共和主义者）can’t get into the White House in twenty years, I give up.” Of(改为Upon)his return, he found that his condition had not been fulfilled.His daughter described him as utterly（完全的）baffling(改为 baffled)（受挫）by the new world.He lived in it just a week before he left it, this time for good.His last words were, “How do you people stand it?”
