What makes Parkers routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.“I dont know why Im still here,” she sai
19、d.Dr. Thomas Perls of the Boston University Medical Center is trying to figure that out. As the director of the New England Centenarian (百岁老人) Study, he studies there “super humans”, those aged 100 years and older.“Its like winning the lottery”, he said. “Youve got to choose the right numbers and th
20、e right combination.”Researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic. For those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.Reuben Landaus mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. Landau is nearly 102, and he still pra
21、ctices law a few hours every day. Both Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy. They take few medications and have no major illness.Perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of geneE4that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of yo
22、ung men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls also believes they may have a “protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. Parker, for example, smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke at 89.However, living into your 100s isnt just genetics. Aging successfully has much
23、 to do with environment and behavior. Landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. Hes convinced its why hes still in good health. “People still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said Perls. So its not just the cards youre dealt, but how you play the hand

27、the right things to do before aging D. a close personal relationshipBMom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, youll feel happy.Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an extremely important
28、element of happiness. In his most recent book Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove moms point. In acknowledging and promoting this much ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefitedeven improved their health.As one of the leading scholars of th
29、e positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He recommends you begin by acknowledging that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder.Second, recognize that the source of lifes goodness is more than just you. That source may be
30、 your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, a caregiver or Godor any combination of these.Expressing gratitude should not be a reaction. Instead, it should be a state of mind, To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than what you need is easy. To be grateful in t
31、imes of crisisanger, hatred and bitternessis easier. Also, too many people are aware of lifes blessings only after these are lost.Its crisis and chaosdanger, disease, disability and deaththat bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others.

32、ife and ends it. Its too hard that so many people waste those decades in between laboring under the illusion（幻觉） that they are self sufficient, says Emmons.Im not a reader or advocate of self help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was co
33、nducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients（接受者）. The chance discovery led me to this book.Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying.

38、oup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson. This week hes in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.“I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual. It bothers
39、 him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “Not everybody knows that.”Of course
40、, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. But charity work is a habit with him.

45、n make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection betwee
46、n love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.

47、ly like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing.
