浙江高考英语阅读专练题及答案 浙江高考英语阅读专练题(一) When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria， people asked the obvious，"Whydid she live to be 107?" Answers were provided by asurvey conducted among 148 Viennesemen and women who had reached the age of 100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that themajority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the citys image as an unhealthyplace，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to beimportant to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed. This factor is exercise.in the cities it isoften faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportationoften requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so peoplemust climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces arehard to find，there is often no alternative to walking.
