Jeanne Calment, a French woman, held the record for living the longest in the world. She died in 1995
at the age of 120 years and 238 days. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237
days.
Jeanne Calment lived in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband, her only child
and her grandson all died . She was nearly blind (瞎的) and deaf (聋的) and was always in a wheelchair,
but her doctor described her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She
still had a lively sense of humor (幽默感). She said that God forgot all about her.
So what is the key to a long life? Some doctors say that diet, exercise and no smoking are the three
important things. Jeanne Calment followed two of the tips (窍门). She always ate a healthy diet, and she
did exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two
glasses of strong red wine a day, and she smoked (now only a little). And Jeanne Calment might have got
very good genes (基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A man bought her house when she was 80 . He said he would pay her some money every year until she
died. It seemed (似乎)a good deal at the time, but the man paid her at least three times (倍)the value (价
值) of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sent him a card saying:
Sorry, I'm still alive!
