Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 24 to 30.
How long can a baby born today expect to live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are exploring the role
of genetics in extending human lifespan.
Today, there are many individuals who have surpassed the age of 100, known as centenarians. Among
them is a group called the "wellderly"—healthy people over 80 years old who are free of serious illnesses
such as heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
Scientists have investigated regions where healthy old age is common, such as Calabria in southern Italy
and Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has about 2,000 residents, with at least
eight people over 100 years old. When asked about their longevity secrets, they often respond: "I eat plenty
of fruits and vegetables," "I eat in moderation," or "I avoid smoking and drinking."
In the past, scientists focused on factors such as diet and lifestyle to explain long life. Now, they are also
studying genetics. Eric Topol, a researcher, believes there are genes that protect against aging. For instance,
in Ecuador, a group with Laron syndrome lives longer despite being shorter than one meter tall. They are
also protected from cancer and diabetes. Similarly, Japanese-Americans in Hawaii have genetic similarities
to the Laron group.
In Calabria, researchers traced family trees of centenarians and concluded that genetic factors benefit men
more than women, a surprising result since women typically live longer. Longevity, it seems, depends on
genes, environment, and luck. The new research did scrutinize groups of people with genetic connections to
understand these patterns better.

A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.
B. It is the result of a genetic condition.

D. Ecuadorians having Laron syndrome are approximately one metre tall.
Question 25: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Secrets of A Long And Healthy Life B. Tips To Increase Life Expectancy
C. How To Live More Than 100 Years? D. Human Lifespan Is Determined by Genetics
Question 26: Who are the wellderly?
A. They are old people with health problems.
B. They are young people with health problems.
C. They are healthy young people.
D. They are healthy old people.
Question 27: According to paragraph 3, _________.
A. scientists have been studying places where only one healthy old person lives
B. scientists have been studying places where there is no healthy old person
C. scientists have been investigating places where most people live to be a hundred
D. scientists have conducted many studies of places where healthy old age is normal
Question 28: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to_______.
A. scientists B. explanations C. things D. diet and lifestyle
Question 29: The word “scrutinize” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. weigh B. peruse C. inspect D. discover
Question 30: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Different factors lead to a healthy old age.
B. More European men live to a healthy old age than women.
C. In the past, more people lived to a healthy old age.
 D. We will all live to at least 100 years.
