READ THE NEXT TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTION.

A. Underline the comparative and superlative
THE HEALTHIEST LIFESTYLE IN THE WORLD?

In many countries around the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier
lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.

Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, the
Okinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the
world. Researchers did a study. They started by looking at city and town
birth records from 1879. They didn’t expect to find many centenarians
(hundred-year-olds) in the records, so they were very surprised to find so
many old and healthy people living in Okinawa. The United States, for
example, has ten centenarians per 100,000 people.

In Okinawa, there are 34 centenarians per 100,000 people! What is the

Okinawans’ secret? First, they eat a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits
and vegetables. They also eat fish and tofu and drink plenty of water and
green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthy
habits as well. They don’t do hard exercise such as weightlifting or jogging.
Instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking. They sit quietly and relax their
minds by breathing deeply. They also spend time with family members and friends.
