阅读理解     SACABA, Bolivia ——Julia Flores Colque still sings with joy in her local Quechua tongue and strums（弹奏）the five strings of a tiny Andean guitar known as the charango, despite a recorded age of almost 118 years.     In her long life, she has witnessed two world wars, revolutions in her native Bolivia and the transformation of her rural town of Sacaba from 3, 000 people to a city of more than 175 , 000 in five decades.     Her national identity card says Flores Colque was born on Oct 26, 1900, in a mining camp in the Bolivian mountains.

"She's always been active, easygoing and fun, " said the grandniece, Agustina Berna.     Growing up, Flores Colque herded sheep and llamas in the Bolivian highlands until she moved in her teenage years to a valley, where she began selling fruits and vegetables. The produce became her main source of sustenance（生计），and she still maintains a healthy diet though she is addicted to the occasional cake and glass of soda. She never married and has no children.     The Sacaba mayor's office has named Flores Colque a living heritage. The office and a private foundation have improved her home, building a brick path where she walks, and a shower and toilet with a railing （扶手）so the old woman can safely make her way to the bathroom at night.     Flores Colque is hard of hearing , but she remains sharp and scolds her smallest dog whenever it tries to rush out into the street.
