8、ienna,Austria,people asked the obvious,“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the citys image as an
9、 unhealthy place,city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.This factor is exercise.In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often
10、requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯),and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets.Since parking spaces are hard to find,there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not ha

15、suggest itself to him:that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words,phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time w
16、e are probably unaware of the source of the words we used,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,makes full use of the great resources of the English la
