While many older persons in industrial societies bee weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasians aged 100 to 140, work in the fields beside their greatgreatgrandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked “ at what age does youth end?” most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “ Well, perhaps at age 80.” What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these longlived people. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer. “ Why? What else would I do?” he asks. All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all e from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 1,660 to 1,000 meters above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollutionfree. This reducedoxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel(血管 ) system stronger. Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society. Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longestlived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer. 66.

D The dyed bun scandal(染色饅頭丑聞 ) deals another blow to shopper’s confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai. An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia. Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged. Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “ We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.” However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment. But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack. Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “ I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don’t know where to buy my goods from in the future.” Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “ I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can’t make these things myself.” Said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper. 71. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarket EXCEPT . A.
