A few weeks ago a French woman called Jeanne Calmet celebrated her 120th birthday.  She is so old that she can remember watching the Eiffel Tower being built and she saw the first film (1).......................... made.  Journalists asked her for her secret to long life, but she didn't really have an answer.  She just laughed and said that she had stopped smoking three years ago, and maybe that helped!

The study found that the main cause of (9)...................... in older people is heart disease.  It also found that  the problem of heart disease is small in countries like France, Italy and Spain where people use a lot of olive oil in their cooking.  On the other hand, in the United States, Britain, Finland, and other countries where olive oil is not so popular, heart disease is a great problem.  So perhaps this (10).......................... why Jeanne Calmet lived to be 120.  She's French and the French love olive oil.
