Animal Life Spans Humans can live to be 80, 90 or even 100 years old. In a few rare cases, they
can live even longer. Most animals, have far shorter lives than humans.
Here are some maximum life spans for small animals. A mouse, a popular pet
rodent, lives for about three years. If you get one as a pet, don’t plan on having it
until you go away to college. Guppies, the popular pet fish, live a bit longer. They
reach 5 years in age. Giant spiders can live a surprisingly long time, as long as 20
years.
What about large animals? Of the biggest animals have similar life spans. The
maximum life span of an elephant is 77 years. The maximum life span of a blue
whale is 80 years. Bears are another large animal that can live for quite a long time.
And how about reptiles? Alligators can live for more than 70 years. Turtles
can live even longer. Some species of turtles can reach over 100 years in age.

Read the excerpt from act 1 of a doll's house. helmer: nora! [goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] the same little featherhead! suppose, now, that i borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the christmas week, and then on new year's eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and— nora: [putting her hands over his mouth]. oh! don't say such horrid things. helmer: still, suppose that happened, —what then? nora: if that were to happen, i don't suppose i should care whether i owed money or not. helmer: yes, but what about the people who had lent it? nora: they? who would bother about them? i should not know who they were. helmer: that is like a woman! but seriously, nora, you know what i think about that. no debt, no borrowing. there can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. we two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle. nora: [moving towards the stove]. as you , torvald. how does the interaction between helmer and nora advance the plot? nora realizes that helmer will completely disapprove of her having borrowed money, so she has to continue to keep it a secret from him. nora realizes that she and helmer have the same ideas about financial issues, and the conversation brings them closer together later in the play. helmer realizes that nora is more responsible with money than he originally thought, and he trusts her more with finances later in the play. nora realizes that helmer knows a lot more about borrowing and lending, and she will seek his input later when she needs it.
