Open cloze [This is an exercise from a workbook I have. The answers were in a CD that came with the book but I lost it so I have no way to correct this.... I'm going to write down here the complete text and the words I have chosen to fit the gap will be in caps.] When Japan's Kamato Hongo died AT the age of 116, she was the world's oldest woman. But Mrs Hongo seems to HAVE had a perfectly normal lifestyle, and THERE seems to be no particular reason for her TO have lived so long. She enjoyed things THAT are sometimes considered to be unhealthy, such as drink tea, coffe and even a small amount of alcohol every day, although she DID not smoke. So what was her secret? After getting married, she stayed on Kagoshima, the island where she WAS born, helping her husband on his farm. During her long life, Mrs Hongo gave birth to seven children, liven through three wars, and survived a volcano eruption on Kagoshima AT 1914. Despite her eventful life, she was happy and hated being away FROM her family. She always kept a close rolationship with all seven of her children, and in fact, whe she could no longer look FOR herself, she went to live with one of her daughters, Shizue, and her family. Then, at the end of her long life Mrs Hongo seemed to think more about her early life THAN the present, and sometimes failed ON recognise close relatives and friends who visited her. She preferred to live in the past, and talk ABOUT her very happy childhood. Was happiness the secret of her long life?
