Text B  In search of longevity
Paragraph 1
A long, healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes inherited from your family, but it also depends on good habits. So what’s the formula for success? In a recent study, funded in part by the U.S. National Institute on Aging, scientists have focused on groups living in several regions where exceptional longevity is the norm: Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; and the islands of Okinawa, Japan. Groups living in these three areas of longevity offer three sets of guidelines to follow.

Paragraph 2
Taking a break from farm work in the village of Silanus, 75-year-old Tonino Tola tickles the chin of his five-month-old grandson, Filippo, who watches from his mother’s arms. “Goochi, goochi, goo,” Tonino
whispers. For this strong, healthy, 1.8-meter-tall (six-foot-tall) man, these two things—hard work and family—form the foundation of his life. They may also help explain why Tonino and his neighbors live so long.
