It is said that thousands of years ago people lived to a very old age. Scientists cannot prove or disprove these accounts. Perhaps Methuselah lived hundreds of years. Perhaps this is only an exaggerated account. The greatest age to which a person has lived in our time was only a little more than 113 years. Mrs. Delina Filkins died at the age of 113 years, 214 days. Scientists are sure of her birthday and the date of her death. 据说数千年前人们的寿命很长。科学家们不能证实也没办法反驳这些说法。可能Methuselah是活了几百年，也可能这只是一个夸张的记述。在我们的时代最长寿的一个人也只活了113岁多一点。 Delina Fikins死时是113岁零214天。科学家们确定她的生辰和死亡日期。 注：Methuselah n.玛土撒拉(《圣经·创世记》人物,据传享年969岁) 编辑推荐：2009年下半年公共英语考试报名汇总 名师指导公共英语阅读考试技巧 公共英语pets三级全真模拟试卷 公共英语pets二级语法讲解汇总
