问题     When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, 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 city’s image as an 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 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 have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.
To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful________.
选项 A、to take the elevator
B、to walk up the stairs
C、to ride in a car
D、to find an alternative to walking
答案B
解析 细节推理题。原文第二段列举了一个城市居民多走路而获得锻炼油的一个例子，即小公寓房没有电梯，人们只好爬楼梯，这样的锻炼有益健康，所以选项B是正确答案。
