Passage 1When 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, 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.译文：在澳大利亚维也纳约瑟?乔治夫人去世时，人们问道：“她为什么可以活到107岁？”一项对维也纳148名已达100岁的男士和女士的调查给出了明确的答案。

有点奇怪的是他们中大部分生活在城市。

尽管城市给人的印象是亚健康的地方，但是城市生活可以提供乡村生活所缺乏的好的地方。

有一个因素看起来对这些被采访对象的长寿很重要。

这个因素是锻炼。

在城市，一段很短的距离走总是比等公车要快。

用公共交通也总需要走一段。

小的公寓楼没有电梯，所以人们必须爬楼梯。

城市的人通常走着去当地的超市，因为很难找到停车的地方，也没有任何可以替代走路的方法。

另一方面，住在乡村和郊外的人们不用每天都走路。

实际上，恰恰相反，人们上学、上班，几乎去其他所有的地方都是开车。

Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.译文：对于英国人来说，他们对谁是世界上最伟大的剧作家这个问题从来都不会有任何争论。
