问题 共用题干Want to Be 100? Listen to These 5 Centenarians（百岁老人）
Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked all the time:“How did you live to be 100?”
If you want to live to 100 or more,this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity （长寿）is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.
Even though an estimated 70,000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age,it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place.
The average life-span（寿命）of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birth-day party.And most people don't want to cut out coffee,soda,alcohol,cigarettes,and eat healthy food.
“People tell me all the time,‘I don't want to live to be 100,'”said Mildred Leaver,who turned 100 in June.
“I think that's just sad.Aging is attitude and I don't feel old,”said Leaver,a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.
It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris,Grace Woffson, Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas,have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits .All are 100 except Stuart,who is 101.
Even though their sight and hearing aren't what they used to be,they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with.It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.
The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer,designer,school principal,bookkeeper and secretary.In the early years of their lives, gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-old are today.Leaver was stricken with cancer 50 years age.A: RightB: WrongC:Not mentioned
选项 Leaver was stricken with cancer 50 years age.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案 A
解析 短文第三段说到，“虽然佑计在这个国家中有70,000人现在年龄达到100岁或者更多”，从上下文提到的“密苏里州”及“美国人平均寿命”可知，“这个国家”就是指“美国”，故本题是正确的。


仍然是第三段，其后半部说，“在一个地方要找到五位百岁老人住在一起，这太稀少了”，故本题是错误的。


通篇文章并未提到这五位百岁老人究竟有没有子女的问题。


短文第四段说，“美国人的平均寿命是距离80岁生日大约还差2一 3岁”。


短文第五、六段Leaver说到，那些不想活到百岁的人才是悲哀的。对待衰老是个态度问题，她并不觉得自己老了。故本题是错误的。


短文倒数第二段最后一句说“Leaver 50年前战胜了癌症，这是第一次，也是唯一的一次”可见本题是正确的。


尽管我们可以推测，这五位百岁老人之间可能会是very friendly，但整个community 是否very friendly,短文并未提到。
