Man: Well... yes... you know... I just read some fascinating new research done by some scientists who studied 96 non-institutionalized, independent centenarians. They wanted to discover what the real secrets were to becoming an active and healthy 100-year-old. They were quite surprised by what they found. Most people believe diet, exercise, and genetics are the common threads among most centenarians. However, these were not among the traits that all of these individuals had in common.
Woman: OK then What were the common themes? What did the scientists find out?
Man: Well, they uncovered 4 themes that all 96 of their centenarians had in common. These were optimism, engagement or commitment to something they were interested in, activity or mobility, and the strength to adapt to loss. All four of these themes were pervasive among the "oldest old" they studied.
Woman: Mr. Parnell, I understand also that you have centenarians living in your village who have very unconventional hobbies such as competitive swimming, auto racing, and horseback riding. Is this the norm?
Man: Well, no, not exactly not all of them take it quite this far, but all of our residents do some sort of regular physical activity.
Woman: And what about diet?
Man: Yes, I'm glad you raised that question. I have to agree with the results of the scientists who did the research. They found that the centenarians they studied had the highest caloric intake and ate the largest amount of fat.
Woman: Well... another thing I was thinking about—is... Mr. Parnell, when speaking with the centenarians in the village, what do they tell you about diet and nutrition? I mean, do they offer advice about good eating habits and nutrition that may help someone live longer?
Man: Oh, all of them basically do something different. Some of them eat a low-fat and low- calorie, unprocessed food diet. But others suggest that everyone eat spicy food, drink whisky, and have a large portion of sweet pork each day.
Woman: Earlier you mentioned that researchers found that the ability to cope with loss is another characteristic that healthy centenarians share.
Man: Yes, exactly! I'll say this... if you live to be 100 you are bound to lose a lot. It's natural. Most of our centenarians have lost a spouse, children, and siblings. Many have lost their peer group as well. But in spite of this, they are able to incorporate that losses in a positive way so they can go on with their lives.
Woman: One final question about the centenarians... So, if I want to live to be 100... what would they suggest I do?
Man: Mmm, it's really hard to say... but I suggest most of them would suggest that you work hard, stay busy, and always find something to laugh about.

听力原文: Public schools in the United States are under the control of the individual states. Sometimes the state hands its control over to a smaller area, a county or city.
Most Americans start school at the age of five when they enter kindergarten. Children do not really study at this time. They only attend for half the day and learn what school is like.
Children attend elementary school for the next six years. They ]earn to read and write and work with numbers. They also study the world and its people.
After they leave elementary school, children go to junior high school for three years and senior high school for another three years. This is called secondary education. In some places the children go to elementary school for eight years and high school for four. At any rate, elementary and secondary education together take twelve years to complete, excluding kindergarten.
