Researchers at the Institute of Healthy Aging at University College London are developing a treatment that they hope will fight the “disease” of getting older. They are looking into genetics (遗传学) and find that lifestyle can affect aging and add years, possibly decades, to a persons life. Age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and neuro degeneration can also be treated, it is claimed. They want to find out how the life of a rat can be increased by up to 30 percent simply by reducing its food intake. Researcher Dr. Piper told The Independent: “If you reduce the diet of a rat by 40 percent it will live for 20 or 30 percent longer. So we would be talking 20 years of human life. This has shown on all sorts of animals, even Labradors (a kind of dog).” The scientists are also studying fruit flies, which share 60 percent of human genes and age in a similar manner, and mice. They have already made the healthy lifespan (寿命) longer in both flies and mice by using drug treatments and a balanced diet. It is hoped that this combination will also work to extend (延长) human life. Dr. Piper said, “If we discover the genes involved with aging, we should be able to delay aging itself. This is what weve found.” He added that the field of research into extending life is only a decade old, so it remains “in theory”. It is their special approach to treating all age-related diseases caused by the “disease” of aging itself that sets their research apart. 21．The author writes this text in order to ________. A．encourage people to eat as little as possible B．tell people how harmful food is to their health C．introduce an on-going research on delayin
