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.
People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because________.
选项
A、they don’t live near business areas
B、they don’t need the exercise
C、they never have parking problems
D、they can’t afford to take the bus
答案
A
解析
细节题。原文第三段提到居住在城市的人很多时候选择步行的原因是离超市近以及没有停车的地方,最后一句又说住在乡村的人则上学、上班甚至去任何地方都必须开车,可以推测出他们住的地方离学校以及商业区较远,所以选项A正确,而选项C说他们从没有遇到停车难问题才会选择开车不符合原文意思。
