Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? 銆€銆€Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (鎺ㄧ炕) or killed took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit. 1). The phrase "subscribe to" in the first paragraph means" _________".

When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, 鈥淲hy did she live to be 107?鈥?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鈥檚 image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that county living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (闀垮) of those interviewed. 銆€銆€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 (鐢垫), 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. 銆€銆€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.
