to live to be hundred. the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. johnson had a sense of humor. he liked whisky and drank some each day. “i have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.the newspaperman did not understand what johnson meant. in his newspaper he reported that johnson was seventy-five

its problems too.one big disadvantage is money-it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. another disadvantage is pollution. i suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that i am afraid to go outside. then there is the problem of travelling round. although i have a car, i seldom use it because of the traffic jams. one choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.of course there are advantages. first, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.is life better
