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
birthday 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
Wolfson,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 1 00-year-olds
are today.
选项 The five centenarians live in a very friendly community.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned
答案C
解析
