根据下面资料,回答题 When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria,people asked the obvious,
“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted amon9148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of l00.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city’S image as an unhealthy place,city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.
This factor is exercise.in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public tramsportation often requires some walkin9.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯),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.
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.
The Vienna survey may help to explain_____. A.the complaints of people in apartment houses
B.the cause of Mrs Groeger's death
C.the longevity of people like Mrs.Groeger
