题文
Readng comprehension. Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had neverfound the time or the money-to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered
him an all -expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent
60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of
the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from
Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said.
During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top
of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会).
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired.
"I don't like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said.
His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before
setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I'm glad to see they've given me a
return ticket." 1. It was reported that Mr. Evans's healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his _____. A. wine drinking
