I. Read the text paying attention to the use of Indirect speech in it. Would you like to live such a long life?

When she died at the age of 122, Jeanne Calment was the oldest person on record. This amazing woman, from Arles in France, had not exactly lived what might be described as ‘a healthy lifestyle’. Family and friends reported that she was fond of cheese, wine and chocolate. She had also smoked cigarettes until she was 117. We asked several experts how a person, especially a cigarette-smoker, could live so long. They offered more than one answer. ‘The average life expectancy is now about 80 for women and 75 for men’, observed Dr Elizabeth Jones, director of the Centre for Studies on Ageing. She says that there has been a steady rise in the maximum age of death throughout Europe during the past century and a major reason for this is improved medical care. Another researcher, Dr Michael Glass, says, ‘There are no theoretical reasons why we can’t have a life span of 200 years.’ Better medical care won’t be the only factor, according to Dr Glass. He explained that genetic engineering would soon allow us to repair or replace damaged cells, the real cause of ageing. He believes that we will be able to stop the ageing process. Other researchers have noted that attitude is also an important factor in longer life. Dr John Park is the author of ‘Living Beyond 100’. ‘Those who live to a ripe old age,’ he says, ‘are those who can cope with stress and other difficulties in life.’ He wrote in his best-selling book that people who lived past 100 were almost always optimistic and had a great attitude to life.
