问题     I shouldn’t let it bother me. It really doesn’t matter anyway. But it does bother me! All those people are preparing to celebrate a new century, a new millennium as well. And it just isn’t 【B1】 !
    Most of us schedule our lives by the Gregorian 【B2】 Our years are measured from the birth of Christ. The first year of the first century is 1, or 1 A.D.

    Since the last year of the first century is the year 100, the first year of the 【B5】 century is 101.

    I know, I’m getting too 【B8】 . But it isn’t fair. While most people will really be enjoying this coming 【B9】 celebration, those of us in the know will be yawning. We’ll be wet blankets at the party. Everyone else will be cheering for the new millennium and we’ll be saying, "It’s not until next year."
    I don’t agree with the saying, "Ignorance is bliss." But in this case, perhaps it’s 【B10】 .
