📖 題組：
Nearly 70% of American adults are overweight; over a third are obese. Grocery shops contain aisle after aisle of salty crisps, sugary drinks and processed snacks. Cues to eat unhealthily abound. But if this is your 16 American diet, argues Dan Buettner in “The Blue Zones: American Kitchen,” a work of anthropological reporting 17 a cookbook, you are looking in the wrong places. Mr. Buettner studies and writes about “Blue Zones,” areas where people tend to live long, healthy lives, with unusually high numbers of 18 and long life expectancy. In this book, he finds the principles of Blue Zone diets—very little meat and processed foods, with most calories coming from whole grains, greens, tubers, nuts and beans—in the cuisines of these demographic groups: Native Americans, the Latinos, and Asian-Americans. The recipes that Mr. Buettner presents do not necessarily represent 19 most people in these groups actually eat. For a variety of reasons, for instance, Native Americans and Latinos suffer higher obesity rates than non-Hispanic whites—which would probably not be the case if they all ate 20 this book recommends. But, historically, each of these groups had healthy cuisines.

請觀察句子中提到的「Blue Zones」定義：那是人們能活得特別長壽、健康，且預期壽命極高的地方。如果我們要描述該地區擁有數量極多、且已經活過一世紀的老人家，哪個字根（例如代表「一百」的字根）能幫助你組合出這個特定的名詞呢？

藍色地帶與長壽關鍵詞
恭喜你精準地掌握了這題的關鍵！你能從上下文提到的 「live long, healthy lives」（活得長壽且健康）以及「long life expectancy」（長預期壽命）中，正確判斷出空格需要填入一個代表「高齡長者」的詞彙，這展現了你優異的語境分析能力。 正確答案 centenarians 指的是「百歲人瑞」。這個單字的字根 cent- 代表「一百」（如 century），在探討「藍色地帶」（Blue Zones）這類以長壽著稱的地區時，這個詞不僅符合語法結構，更完美扣合了文章的人類學研究背景。其他選項如 adolescents（青少年）或 utilitarians（功利主義者）在邏輯上都與「長壽地區」的主題背道而馳。
