问题     As people continue to grow and age, our body systems continue to change. At a certain point in your life, your body system began to weaken. Your joint may become stiff. It may become more difficult for you to see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this process that leads us toward the end of our lives.
    Many factors contribute to your health. A well-balanced diet plays an important role. The amount and type of exercises you get is another factor. Your living environment and the amount of stress you are under is yet another. But scientists studying senescence want to know: Why do people grow old? They hope that by examining the aging process on a cellular level medical science may be able to extend the length of life.
    There is nothing to be afraid of as old age approaches. Many consider the later portions of life to be the best time for living. Physical activity may lessen, but often you gain a broader understanding of yourself and the world.
    What we consider old age now may only be middle-aged someday soon. Who knows with so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life spans may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!
Why are some scientists interested in studying senescence?
选项 A、They may be able to find better ways to our life.
B、If they pin down the biochemical process that makes us age, there will be hope for extending the length of life.
C、They want find out if there is a link between how efficiently a cell could repair itself and how long a creature lives.
D、They want to increase the general ability of our bodies.
答案C
解析 细节题。从第二段最后两句可知，科学家之所以对研究衰老感兴趣，就是想阻止住人类衰老的生化过程，延长人的寿命。
