Picture Talking
Tonight her parents will hold a party to celebrate her success and achievements. All their friends and relatives are invited to share her happiness.
However, now she is at a loss about the clothes she is going to wear tonight. She is confident about everything except her weight. She always worries about being too fat.
At this moment, she has spent at least half an hour selecting clothes without success.
Example:
Jane is a Senior Three student and she is extremely happy, because she has been admitted to Peking university.
This is really difficult but I feel so strong.
You must get enough sleep to stay healthy.
Eating more fruit makes me feel better.
Jeanne at age 60 Jeanne at age 113
Jeanne Calment (February 21,1875 - August 4 1997) of France, had set the record for the world’s longest confirmed human lifespan.
Jeanne at age 20
Jeanne at age 122
Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman, became a record breaker on 17 October 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days. She became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France, and her husband, her only child and grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being “more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on the 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied, “a very short one.” She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to keep so healthy and so long? According to some doctors: diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. She has always eaten a healthy diet she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying, “Sorry, I’m still alive!”
1. How does Jeanne Calment get her good health and long life?
2. What does the last sentence “Sorry, I’m still alive!” mean?
