Want to live past 100? These centenarians share their secrets
By Sharon Jayson
Gertrude Siegel is 101 and hears it all the time. “Everyone says ‘I want to be just like you.’ I tell them to get in line,” she said.
John and Charlotte Henderson, 104 and 102, often field questions from wannabes eager to learn their secrets.
“Living in moderation,” he said. “We never overdo anything. Eat well. Sleep well. Don’t overdrink. Don’t overeat. And exercise regularly.”
Mac Miller, who is 102, has a standard reply.
“People ask me ‘What is the secret?’ The answer is simple. Choose the right grandparents. They were in their 80s. My mother was 89, and my father was 93,” he said.
Genetics and behaviors do play roles in determining why some people live to be 100 or older while others don’t, but they aren’t guarantees. And now, as increasing numbers are reaching triple digits, figuring out the mysteries of longevity has taken on new importance among researchers.
Although those 100 and older make up a tiny segment of America’s population, U.S. Census reports show that centenarian ranks are growing. Between 1980 and 2010, the numbers rose from 32,194 to 53,364, an increase of almost 66 percent. The latest population estimate, released in July 2015, reflects 76,974 centenarians.
“The number of centenarians in the U.S. and other countries has been doubling roughly every eight years,” said James Vaupel, founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany.
“When the baby boomers hit, there’s going to be acceleration, and it might be doubling every five or six years,” he said.
Henderson and his wife of 77 years live in Austin in the independent living section of Longhorn Village, a community of more than 360 seniors, many of whom have ties to the University of Texas at Austin. Henderson is UT’s oldest-living former football player, arriving in 1932 as a freshman. They’re the only centenarians in the complex and are a rare breed: married centenarians.

Good morning!
今天的练习内容来自PBS,是关于100多岁的人(centenarian)的长寿秘密。好像主要是maintain quality relationships, eat well and exercise.
我姥爷的母亲(太姥姥?)活到100岁,我爷爷奶奶姥姥姥爷也都是95岁以上才过时的。看着他们,我也深刻能感觉到lifespan与healthspan的关系,也能意识到healthspan的重要性。我们家的四位老人都很幸运,一直到90多都还算挺健康,但我奶奶后来老年痴呆,我也最后几年行动不是很方便,影响生活质量。当然,有一些是自己没法控制的,但是mind and body的锻炼应该很重要。
...
今天的第二条我转了李笑来在天天用英语上的一次课的文稿。是为了庆祝天天用英语的第一百天的一次课,他强调了学习的社交性,也强调了从笨拙到熟练的过程,我想大家会月的有用。
文章的最下面有天天用英语课程的二维码,如果通过那个二维码购买课程好像我会有一个提成。就算没有提成,我也会愿意与大家分享,但我一定要保持透明。:)
Have fun!
John

王渊源John是谁?
我的中文名字叫王渊源,英文名字叫John Gordon,是个美国人,在中国呆了十几年了,从事了14年的英文教育工作,接触过好几十万中国同学。让我一直很困惑的一件事情是很多中国朋友学了很长时间的英文,但并没有一个很好的学习效果。而我知道语言学习并不是那么神秘的事情,只要坚持一些简单的事情,就能够学会。我希望我能够帮助大家解决动力问题、方法问题以及材料问题。(更正式的介绍可以回复“王渊源”)
