In the Caucasus Mountains, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! In America only 3 people in 100,000  reach 100. But these old people aren’t alone. The people who live high in the Himalaya Mountains and the Andes Mountains, seem to share the secret of long life, too.

First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived people. They begin their long days of physical work as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr Rustam is 142 years of age. He has experienced several wars. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr Rustam doesn’t want to stop his work as a farmer, “Why? What else would I do?” He asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now h e might work for 6 hours in the field instead of 10.

Another factor (因素) that may contribute to the good health of these people is t heir isolation. Most of them are kept off the modern world.

Inherited (遗传的) factors also help. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. So good family genes (基因) may be one factor i n living longer.

Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same food, they eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than body needs. w ww .xk b 1.com

C. A big family.      D. The same food.

34. What does the word “isolation” mean in Chinese?

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。

Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dining-room. But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out. Here is some important advice.[来源:21世纪教育网]

The first is to eat less fast food. The harm of eating too much fast food is getting weight because fast food, such as French fries and other deep fried food, contains(包含) too much fat. Too much fast food is bad for your body. So don’t eat it too often.

Soda is another thing you should pay attention to. Both cokes and sodas contain a lot of sugar and they can slow down a person’s calcium absorption(钙的吸收), so it’s best to drink as little soda or coke as possible.

Food in the dining-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need all kinds of food. You can have a dinner that contains proteins(蛋白质), vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In othe r words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and so me bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.
