In the Caucasus region（高加索地區(qū)）, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Caucasus people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.
　　These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Caucasus people aged 110-140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. 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.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.
　　What accounts for this ability to survive (live) to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They began their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experience: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Rustam has no plan of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh, he’s slowed down a bit. Now he might quit (stop working) for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
　　All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations（海拔）of 5,000 to 12, 000 feet(1,660 to 4,000meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel（血管）system stronger.
　　Another factor（因素）that may lead to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressure（壓力）and worries of industrial society.
　　Inherited（遺傳的） factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived peoples had parents and grandparents who also reached very old age. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
　　Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. All of them eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
　　It is clear that isolation from urban pressure and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all lead to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
【小題1】 What is the main idea of this article?

A．Cause and effect of long-lived life.
B．People in the world enjoying a longer life.
C．Factors leading to the health and long life of people.
D．A description of several societies where people living a long life.

If you look through the Surui reserve (保護(hù)區(qū)) with Google Earth, you will see a green area in the middle of yellow surroundings. Once, the Paiter-Surui tribe (部落) lived in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. But after the tribe met with Westerners years ago, they nearly disappeared: diseases brought by outsiders reduced the Surui’s numbers from 5,000 to about 250.

Today, some 1,300 people live in 23 villages across 600,000 acres (英畝). Though they are wearing T-shirts and jeans, the Surui decide to protect the tribal culture. They are in danger again. Trees are being cut, animals are being killed, and the forest is becoming smaller and smaller. But this time it’s different. The Surui people have put aside their bows and arrows and taken up a new weapon (武器): the Internet.

The idea comes from the leader of the Surui, Chief Almir Narayamoga. “We decided to use computers to bring attention to our situation,” says Narayamoga. The first in his tribe to go to college, he learned how to use computers.

The chief asked about the possibility of making a map of the Surui reserve using Google Earth. An online tour of the reserve, he believed, would help protect the Surui by showing the world the results of cutting trees and the attacks (進(jìn)攻) on tribal land. It would also tell the government about their situation. This way, Narayamoga hoped to raise money to protect the rain forest by planting one million trees. “Training and education is now our kind of war,” he says. “We know we have to do so.”

Narayamoga’s visit to Google was a great success. The Internet search company sent teams to the Amazon to train the Surui in using computers, cameras, and phones to photograph their surroundings, which could be found using GPS and then shown on Google Earth. The Surui have now mapped the whole reserve and recorded the animals and plants of the rainforest within it.

While their work is supported (支持) by some international groups, Narayamoga hopes they can support themselves within ten years, with coffee production and tourism. The great thing about the Surui is that they try to find their own ways to deal with the problems they face.

53. How many people are still living in the tribe today?

A. About 600,000.     B. About 5,000.             C. About 1,300.             D. About 250.

54. What is the greatest danger the Surui face now?

A. They are often attacked.                                   B. The reserve is getting smaller.

C. Their culture is forgotten.                          D. The rainforest is disappearing.

55. What do the Surui mainly depend on to protect their land?

A. Normal tools in life.                                  B. Scientific knowledge.

C. Help from outside.                                    D. Information technology.
