    If you can walk a quarter-mile, odds (可能性) are you have at least six years of life left in you, scientists say. And the faster you can (51) it, the longer you might live.
    While walking is no guarantee of (52) or longevity (长寿), a new study found that the ability of elderly people to do the quarter-mile was an "important determinant (决定因素) " in whether or not they’d be (53) six years later and how much illness and disability they would endure.

    Newman and colleagues recruited nearly 2,700 white and African-American men and women aged 70 to 79 to (57) the walk. All the participants were screened and determined to be in relatively (58) health, and they had all said they had previously walked that far with no (59) . Only 86 percent of them finished, (60) .

" Newman said. "What was really surprising is that these people were not (64) of how weak they actually were. "
    Finishing times were found to be crucial, too. Those who completed the walk but were among the slowest 25 percent (65) three times greater risk of death than the speedier folks.
