Mary Jo Ray turned 113 in May, 2008. She was the twelfth oldest person in the world. Ray was one of the few people who lived to more than 110 years old. We often call them centenarians. “She often drinks milk. She hardly gets angry with others and is always happy. So she is in good health. I think her reason for long life is drinking milk every day and trying to be happy,” said her granddaughter(孙女).
Her doctor, Dr. Perls, said another reason for Ray’s long life is her genes (基因). She got them from her parents. He said, “These genes can keep you in good health and let you live longer. People can usually live to about 80 years old. Those with the right genes can live to more than 100 years. They also pass those genes to their children. So if a person’s parents live long, he or she will probably live long, too.” Dr. Perls also said, “You may not have those genes. But if you don’t smoke, don’t drink too much, and do exercise or do other things to make yourself relaxed and happy, you still can live long."
