　　Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirementcommunity who are all centenarians get asked all the time:"How did youlive to be 100?"

　　If you want to live to 100 or more,this rare groupof five golden girls says the key to longevity（长寿）is working hard at ajob you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.

　　The average life-span（寿命）of Americans is about twoor three years short of an 80th birthday party.And most people don'twant to cut out coffee,soda,alcohol,cigarettes,and eat healthy food.

　　"People tell me all the time,'I don't want to live to be 100,'"said Mildred Leaver,who turned 100 in June.

　　"I think that's just sad.Aging is attitude and Idon't feel old,"said Leaver,a former educator who still drives herBuick around town.

　　It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and herneighbors Mildred Harris,Grace Wolfson,Gladys Stuart and ViolaSemas,have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelonghealthy habits.All are 100 except Stuart,who is 101.

　　Even though their sight and hearing aren't whatthey used to be,they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly peopleare stricken with.It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for thefirst and only time.

　　The common thread that connects these women is thedecades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer,designer,schoolprincipal,bookkeeper and secretary.In the early years of theirlives,gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as100-year-olds are today.
