A

Jeanne Calment,a French woman,became a record breaker on 17 October 1995.Whenat the age of 120 years and 238 days,she became the longest-lived human being on record.A

Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France;her husband,her only child and her grandson have all died.She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in awheel chair,but her doctor describes her as being "more like a 90-year-old in good health"than someone of 120.She still has a lively sense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthdaywhat she expected of the future,she replied,"A very short one."She also remarked that shethought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.

So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and nosmoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She hasalways eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg atthe age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,andshe does smoke (only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genesfrom her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.

A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would payher some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good move at the time,butso far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on herbirthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying,"Sorry,I'm still alive!"

Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan,we discovered somethingthe map had not told us.It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley.The river laydeep between mountain sides that were almost vertical.We couldn't find any animal tracks,which usually show the best way across country,and the slopes were covered so thickly withbushes that we could not see the nature of the ground.We had somehow to break through tothe river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands.

Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed insingle file.Progress was slow.Then,when we thought we had really reached the river,wefound ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the waterbelow.We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down.We climbedslipped,sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river.Happily wecame downhill along its bank without having to cut our way.However,after a few miles theriver entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a wa-terfall.There was no path alongside it and no way round it.

Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty.There was a fallen treelying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below thefalls.Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was.Hav-ing got to the fork of the tree,he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feetwith his legs hanging in space,then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side,throwing hisarms in the air like a footballer who has scored goal,and cheerfully waving us on.
